The Belgian-born physicist has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for turning Antarctic ice into a window on the universe. His story is also a lesson in vision, persistence and the […]
Writing in Science, JHU President Ron Daniels describes how the historical partnership between research universities and the federal government has ensured the nation’s scientific preeminence The transformation of the United States’ research enterprise […]
A new study reveals a key mechanism by which the protein alpha-synuclein, the hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, damages neurons (brain cells) by blocking a vital cellular gateway. The results of the study, […]
Researchers at Imperial College London, the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), and the University of Sheffield have shown that the physical twisting of DNA plays an important role in correcting for […]
Every year on 12 February, The Future Leadership Institute marks the birthday of Charles Darwin with a simple idea: stop for a moment, have a drink, and think about where we came […]
More than a decade of exceptionally precise observations has revealed two very different magnetic fields on Vega, one of the best-known stars in the night sky. The discovery could change our understanding […]
Researchers at KU Leuven and Erasmus MC have discovered that cells can compensate for the loss of genes by increasing the activity of their remaining copy. Surprisingly, this balancing act does not […]
UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers tracked down genes that help zebrafish regenerate injured heart muscle. Can CRISPR activate this circuit in humans with heart disease? Humans can’t regenerate heart muscle damaged by […]
Scientists at ETH Zurich have solved a geological mystery that has puzzled researchers for around half a century. Deep inside the Earth, seismic waves suddenly accelerate — and the explanation reveals that […]
An extraordinarily preserved fossil bird from Brazil has allowed scientists to reconstruct the brain of a bird that lived alongside the dinosaurs. The 80-million-year-old skull of Navaornis hestiae fills a crucial evolutionary […]
Physicists at the University of Cambridge have experimentally created the first two-dimensional “Bose glass” — a strange state of matter in which particles become trapped rather than spreading through the system. The […]
Dark matter appears to dominate the mass of the Universe, yet nobody knows what it is. Deep beneath South Dakota, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment has completed its most sensitive search yet — and […]
Scientists have used powerful X-ray nano-imaging to investigate fossilised microorganisms preserved in one of Earth’s most extreme environments. The fossils from Spain’s Río Tinto could help researchers recognise ancient traces of life […]
Scientists led by the University of Oxford have created extraordinarily dense beams of matter and antimatter in the laboratory. Containing around 10 trillion electron-positron pairs, these artificial “fireballs” could allow researchers to […]
One of the more recent members of The Future Leadership Institute is Mr. Teun Depreeuw. Teun Depreeuw is founder and owner of Muurtuin.be, a company specialized in designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining vertical gardens. Click the picture to read more.
