Is there other life out there? Astonishing findings in recent years and cutting-edge research are bringing us ever closer to answering one of the most fundamental questions in science. The discovery of planets outside our solar system likely to have habitable conditions has thrilled astronomers hunting for a world resembling…

An estimated 4.63 billion terabytes of data will be generated daily by 2025. To accommodate this staggering number, low-power magnetic media with higher data density and faster I/O speeds is crucial. 2D magnets are essential for next-gen magnetic random-access memories (MRAMs). 2D-MRAMs marrying ultracompactness to ultralow power consumption are key…

The Nairobi Ideas platform is comprised of free events including the Nairobi Ideas Night, a recurring informal public event for local researchers, scholars and other nerds to present their ideas to the public, and the Nairobi Ideas Exchange, which gathers participants to deep dive into issues in their unique fields…

The nominating institution Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung on the breakthrough: Dr. Rapp pushed boundaries in glass production since he is able to print glass. This disruptive innovation in glass processing has more than one astonishing advantage, such as low production cost, scales up to mass manufacturing with existing machines…

nQuire is an online citizen science engagement platform (nquire.org.uk) that supports members of the public to initiate, run and manage their own scientific investigations. It is unique in combining citizen science with community education and decision-making at big scale. Any individual or community group can add their voice by defining…

The optimal transport problem consists of finding the cheapest way of transporting a distribution of mass from one location to another. Alessio Figalli has used optimal transport’s techniques to mathematically understand: (1)the rigidity properties of crystals under the influence of external forces; (2)the behavior of large-scale atmospheric flows; (3)the universality…

The nominating institution EPFL on the breakthrough: Safe and affordable housing and infrastructure are key to sustainable global development and rely on construction materials such as cement. Cement production is responsible for ~8% of global CO2 emission. Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) allows up to 50% reduction of CO2 emission…
