Apropos Exit For Academic Founders
The recent acquisition by Salesforce of Apromore, a provider of process intelligence software, is a testament to the value created through trans-global institutional partnerships. Ironically, the deal comes at a time when the university business model is itself being challenged through the advancement of technology. Apromore sprung from over a decade of joint research led…
Graphene Collab Connects The Dots
A ground-breaking joint R&D programme between The University of Manchester, UK and Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi has begun to reap rewards through publishing new research on the properties of graphene. Established in 2022, the engagement has also been a model for generating economic benefits through international collaboration between research institutions. Forming a fundamental building…
Surf’s Up For Student Startup
Surfactants have a wide range of applications within households, such as soap, dishwashing liquid and cosmetics. But the current production process is carbon-intensive and waste water flows containing surfactant can be harmful to the environment. But recently a student team from France has been developing a greener alternative that could replace current surfactant chemicals. Made…
Daffodil Deal Delivered Downunder
A complex plant alkaloid extracted from the humble daffodil has been demonstrating some extraordinary curative properties in humans. Now with the help of a $4 million investment and a collaborative research project with Lincoln University in New Zealand, the same compound is being investigated as a feed additive to reduce methane emissions from livestock. The…
GaN Devices A Switched On Solution
Metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOS-FETs) form the basis of modern integrated circuits due to their versatility and high density. The foundational technology dates back a century, but it was not until the early 1960s when breakthroughs in semiconductor chemistry allowed the development of the first working transistors, which subsequently evolved into the silicon micro-circuitry that we…
The Holy Grail Of Green Bio-Fuels
With electric and hydrogen powered vehicles not yet making a substantial impact in logistics and travel, airlines, ship owners and road freight companies have lately been pulling back from commitments to net zero emissions. The big energy companies are also rethinking their sustainable fuels strategies. But with the cost of installing solar energy dropping and…
Regenerative Pathways: Europe to the Indo-Pacific
For over 250 years, a trade route has existed spanning Europe, The Middle East, South Asia and Australasia. Explorers, navigators, scientists and entrepreneurs first set out in earnest from Europe in the latter part of the 18th Century, informed only by sketchy maps drawn up by their predecessors over one hundred years beforehand. Now as…
Is The Future Of AI Liquid?
Ramin Hasani, the astute CEO and co-founder of Liquid AI wants artificial intelligence to “solve actual problems for us”. To achieve that goal he completely re-imagined how neural networks operate, with the help of “liquid neural networks” and a small invertebrate you might find in the topsoil of your garden. So what are liquid neural…
