Our pioneering simulations of supermassive black hole binaries have linked the theory of galaxy formation with the emerging field of gravitational waves. By probing the physics at scales less than a light year inside colliding galaxies, we have shown that black holes can merge much faster than previously thought, we…

The nominating institution Curriki on the breakthrough: The challenge facing education worldwide is the lack of high quality easy to use tools for educators to create truly engaging digital learning experiences. For too long, the technologies required to build and publish Next Generation learning experiences have been out of reach…

Atmospheric Forest is an immersive VR artwork by artist duo Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits, visualising relations between forest emissions and climate change. It is based on Swiss climate scientist studies on ancient Alpine forests suffering from drought. The VR viewer gets immersed in a laser scanned forest with animated…

Luciano Rezzolla is the Chair of Theoretical Astrophysics at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Frankfurt, Germany. His main research topics are astrophysical compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars, which he investigates by means of numerical simulations on supercomputers. Black holes are the most compact objects in…

Muhammad Osama Bin Shakeel is addressing the problem of energy waste due to phase unbalancing. It increases the power loss and electricity bills while decreasing the lifecycle of appliances and instigating safety deficiencies. Intellica, a 3 Phase Load Balancer, aims to balance the load among 03 phases in real time.…

The nominating institution TU Munich on the breakthrough: Reconstructing our 3D world from moving cameras is at the heart of computer vision. It fuels endless applications ranging from augmented reality and computer animation over 3D perception for self-driving cars to digital heritage and medical imaging. Daniel Cremers made groundbreaking advances…
