A platform for high-quality journal-independent peer-review in the life sciences. Review Commons was created by EMBO and ASAPbio to provide expert peer review of preprints before they are submitted to a journal. The process is handled by professional scientific editors, who ensure that reviewers are qualified and have no conflicts…

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…

The nominating institution National University of Singapore on the breakthrough: Static charge is ubiquitous, and causes a lot of problems. It reduces the efficiency of manufacturing processes, damages equipment, causes explosions, and allows particles to stick onto surfaces easily (e.g., dust on screens). As such, it influences almost all types…

Our project used a participatory approach to produce a virtual reality tour of our Programme research laboratories. Upon production of the video, it was loaded unto virtual reality headsets and piloted in three-day secondary schools within Kilifi county: Chasimba Secondary School, Katanga Ngala Secondary School and Mdzongoloni Secondary Schools. The…

Li-ion batteries are currently the most potent and widely used energy storage concept. To render the use of Li-Ion Batteries sustainable, suitable recycling concepts are urgently needed.

Dr. Sabrina Badir from ETH Zurich was the jury’s choice and winner of the Falling Walls Lab 2015 with the development of a reliable and easy-to-use device that allows the risk of premature birth to be recognized in time so that appropriate treatments can be started promptly.

How a Nanotech Toolbox Can Revolutionise Medicine and Energy Storage The sheet of paper this text is printed on is about 100,000 nanometers thick and one hair on your head is about 50,000 nanometers wide. In our everyday experience, these are some of the smallest objects we are able to…

Agnieszka Zuchowska is developing a novel in vitro tool that will largely reproduce the features of the in vivo environment, and thus increase the reliability of the results obtained in preclinical studies.

Tejesvi Patel is addressing the issue of bacterial and fungal infections in wounds, particularly affecting diabetic patients with weakened immune systems. His proposed solution involves the development and testing of biocompatible PVP/TA hydrogels loaded with an antifungal drug, creating topical patches that can simultaneously release antibacterial and antifungal agents for…
