Conventional accelerators require multiple football fields in length to reach very high particle energies (multi-billion eV). Laser-powered, plasma-based accelerators, where electrons surf on waves, can do this in just a few 10’s of cm. This plasma technology is at the brink of offering a profoundly different way in which we…

The innovation is the paradigm shift from conventional thought of content or knowledge transfer in higher education to designing learning from the mobile student experience. To do this, we had to reimagine the learning experience from a mobile student lens. We reimagined learning and learning design from a mobile learning…

The conventional manufacture of ceramic tiles involves temperatures of around 1200°C for 1-5 hours. This equates to a large amount of CO2 emissions which is compounded for coal-powered countries. Emma Horn’s solution is bio-tiles using microbially induced CaCO3 precipitation. It involves a negligible energy input and is highly scalable by…
