Debayan Dasgupta is addressing the challenge of treating untreatable diseases, such as bacterial infection in dentinal tubules and cancer microtumors, by proposing the use of remotely guided magnetic nanorobots as nanosurgeons for targeted treatment. His innovative approach aims to overcome the limitations of modern medicine and effectively treat disease sites…

Fiberhouse is an informal research and education center located in Asheville, NC. Partnering with farmers, artists, designers, fiber folks, and scientists we are studying soil to soil methods – creating cloth that heals together. We facilitate hands-on workshops and learning experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds in-person and…

Aquí Nos Cuidamos is a project of the nonprofit Ciencia Puerto Rico (CienciaPR) that promotes COVID-19 prevention and the well-being of vulnerable and marginalized communities in Puerto Rico through a culturally relevant multimedia education, community engagement, science and solidarity.

Our new detector records the full position-momentum phase space for all electrons scattered through a sample, and ptychographic reconstruction algorithms solve the samples atomic structure. Our algorithms inversely solve for the multiple scattering of the electron beam and overcome the lens aberrations. For the first time, the resolution is set…

Marco Hutter: Breaking the Wall to Intelligent Mobile Robots – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Human limitations in tasks involving precision, repetition, and hazardous conditions have sparked a transformative wave of innovation in robotics. Unlike humans, robots excel in areas demanding unwavering accuracy, tireless repetition, and the ability to work…

Andrzej Zak’s project combines biology, medicine, and engineering. Its essence is to build a new device for observing previously not visualised and unknown bacteria-light interaction phenomena.

Institutions of learning generally approach education vertically, with little integration of knowledge with other disciplines. In the same way, sustainability research until now has mostly been concentrated in the natural sciences or organized in silos. But given the increasing urgency of sustainability in today’s world, this approach may ultimately fall…

The nominating institution Max-Planck-Gesellschaft on the breakthrough: The quest for unusual materials, such as metallic hydrogen or room-temperature superconductors, has been going on for decades. Mikhail Eremets has pioneered high pressure experiments to induce such states, which brought about innovations in materials science, but also high-pressure technology. The group has…

The nominating institution University of Calgary on the breakthrough: Compared to airplanes, helicopters provide improved maneuverability. But one limitation of rotorcraft is that take-off and landing on non-horizontal surfaces is problematic. Ramirez-Serrano’s innovative design allows flying in impenetrable environments, and performing acrobatic maneuvers at zero speed. Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Engineering,…

Bayer Kimlu Science Fellowship has the aims to shape the next generation of STEM leaders in Latin America. Each year we select 40 young people (age 14-18) to be part in a 10 days STEM-leadership science camp in which their develop their science competences and leadership skills. After this, they’re…
