Yue Yuan is tackling the limitations in advanced electronic circuits using 2D materials by introducing a groundbreaking fabrication technique. By transferring multilayer hexagonal boron nitride onto silicon microchips, Yue Yuan achieves high-integration-density 2D-CMOS hybrid microchips for memristive applications, representing a notable advance in performance and technology readiness.

Hip Pro+ consists of a combination of electronic hardware and sensors that analyse movements up to 1,000 times per second, helping reduce the risks posed by hip injuries.

Through an installation/performance the artist Maja Smrekar reflects on the social dimension of Artificial Intelligence, questioning the power relations in terms of technological development and data sovereignty, and how these affect the relations between human and animals. “Technologies such as AI need a social dimension and not only the economy,…

Chuan He: Breaking the Wall to a New Green Revolution – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Crop scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, presents a daunting challenge for our future food security. Rising global temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and floods directly impact…

Emily Hsue-Chi Shi is addressing the inefficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) commonly used in smartphone screens, focusing on the limitations posed by the non-emitting “dark” triplet state. Her solution involves designing molecules with a reduced singlet-triplet gap, facilitating thermal activation of electrons and maximising OLED efficiency for improved electroluminescence…

Tonico Deodato’s project investigates the influence of social motivation on the social impairments present in children with ASD through observation of their helping and cooperative behavioural tendencies.

Project P-FORVIS aims to design, develop, and produce novel antimicrobial peptides based on the natural and potent Killer Peptide (KP), with no negative effects on the patients and their microbiota.

Stefan Ulmer is a chief scientist at RIKEN, a Professor at Düsseldorf, and Founder/ Spokesperson of CERN’s BASE collaboration. Using newly invented Penning trap methods, BASE also reported on the most precise measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment with a fractional precision of 1.5 p.p.b. Together with an 11-fold improved proton…

The mission of OzGrav is to capitalise on the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped spacetime, and to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and engineers through this new window on the Universe. The Centre brings together the Australian…

“Scientists catch a comet and land on its surface” is a headline from the realm of science fiction. Comets are „dirty snowballs“ made up of rock, dust, ice and frozen gases, cruising through the Solar System at high speeds. Little is known about their origins, but scientists suspect they were…
