Light-Emitting Silicon: Demonstration of Efficient Light Emission from a new alloy of hexagonal silicon and germanium to obtain photonic chips, which can revolutionize computing. Silicon is a powerful material pervading our everyday lives. Silicon-based microchips are the basis of nearly every electronic device used in our houses, cars, smart gadgets,…

We currently run science and engineering engagements (workshops and school talks) in UK schools with the support of some of the best professional street-dancers in the UK. They are delivered in both primary and secondary schools. Our schools talks focus on careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and…

As a species, we have a remarkable history of scaling up and distributing new technologies among the world’s population. For centuries, books and letters were precious and limited to a small elite, today the printed word is ubiquitous and production costs are negligible. The most recent democratisation of technology took…

A yeast that naturally produces provitamin A will be genetically engineered to grow using cellulose-based agricultural byproducts. The cultivation process will then be optimized for VAD communities.   Tags: Bio-Tech, Circular Economy, Engineering, Food & Agriculture, Global Cooperation, Green Tech, Resilience, Trust in science.

As part of the initiative Making Science the Star, Stephane Kenmoe’s film series ‘Science in the City’ approaches scientific topics through cinematic storytelling in 26 episodes. Focusing on topics such as biomass, and renewable energies and AI, the film series depicts the common perception of science in Africa and the…

How Artificial Intelligence Research Tries to Build Intelligent Autonomous Systems Can robots be creative enough to build their own language? Computational linguistics explores semiotics, its origins, evolution and dynamics with an interdisciplinary approach aimed at finding out statistics and rules to construct a computational model of natural language. Luc Steels,…

CONTAGION is Science Gallery Bengaluru’s first online exhibition-season, that invites visitors to explore the phenomenon of transmission of diseases, behaviours and emotions to make sense of our uncertain times. Through 16 interactive exhibits and more than 40 live programmes we invite our audience to engage with critical questions on contagious…

STEM professionals solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges, build better systems, and enable us to understand the world we live in. But who gets to become a STEM professional? Well, not just anybody. Rural and remote communities in India rarely get to do any hands-on science, making a STEM career…
