Quieter and greener jets now fly overhead thanks to the work of Fernando Catalano and Micael Carmo. Through an industry-research collaboration, the inventors helped develop a new jet that lowers CO2 emissions up to 25% per passenger and noise footprint by 65% compared to the previous model.
The 3D Lightfield invention, developed by David Fattal, offers users a three-dimensional (3D), real-time experience without using 3D glasses for unprecedented depth and immersion. The invention is a key feature in the Lume Pad, a tablet offering a unique 3D viewing experience.
Neodymium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnets have revolutionised the field of permanent magnets and become an indispensable component of modern technology. The strongest variety, “Sintered NdFeB magnets”, was developed by Japanese inventor and materials scientist Masato Sagawa.
Anaerobic dopamine, or A-dopamine, can be administered directly to the brain to improve treatment of advanced Parkinson’s Disease symptoms through a dosing pump developed by David Devos and Caroline Moreau and their team.
The FLASC hydro-pneumatic energy storage system, developed by Tonio Sant, Daniel Buhagiar and their team, stores excess wind-generated electricity as hydraulic power to generate electrical power when needed.
Research led by computer scientist Cordelia Schmid has enabled AI to "see" and interpret complex visual data in real-time. Her work is a step towards a future in which interactive robots and self-driving vehicles provide solutions for pressing problems.
A new treatment that recruits the body’s immune system to fight cancer more effectively was developed by Sirpa and Markku Jalkanen. Their treatment offers new hope to patients resistant to other therapies.
A process that could transform the energy sector by harnessing osmosis to produce cost-effective and eco-friendly electricity has been perfected by Bruno Mottet and Lyderic Bocquet.
Printable perovskite solar cells, developed by Olga Malinkiewicz and her team, could boost global renewable energy generation as a lightweight and flexible method of harnessing solar energy.
The Proximity Extension Assay (PEA), which allows for the sensitive detection of proteins in cells and link proteins to DNA strands providing detectable data, was created by Ulf Landegren and Simon Fredriksson. From early disease screening to individualised treatment plans, PEA has the potential to vastly improve patient outcomes in multiple areas of medicine.
