The DEEP – Institute of Deep Tech Innovation at ESMT Berlin is expanding the German offering of Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) with a new Defence Stream. Each year, the stream will support up to 25 science-based startups developing and commercializing dual-use technologies.

Professor Edmund Lam, Dr Ni Chen and their research team from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed a novel uncertainty-aware Fourier ptychography (UA-FP) technology that significantly enhancing imaging system stability in complex real-world environments. The breakthrough has been published in Light: Science & Applications, an international journal under Nature Publishing Group.

Study published on 01 October 2025  in Frontiers in Virtual Reality demonstrates how multisensory music experiences can boost enjoyment, reduce anxiety, and open new therapeutic possibilities

A research team at the Reichman University Dina Recanati School of Medicine and the Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology has discovered that experiencing music in a multisensory way, combining both hearing and touch , significantly enhances people’s emotional responses to it. The study, conducted at the Institute for Brain, Cognition and Technology, introduces a unique device that converts sound into tactile vibrations on the hands and body, offering listeners a new dimension of musical experience.

Quantum computing is one of the frontiers of research and innovation due to its potential to outperform classical computers in specific tasks. The EQUALITY (Efficient QUantum ALgorithms for IndusTrY) project, funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, had the mission of developing innovative quantum computing algorithms to solve strategic industrial problems while dealing with the limitations of this nascent technology.

In a new study titled “Granular beds with asymmetric wettability promote the migration and separation behavior of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants: Migration rate and pressure drop distribution,” published in Water & Ecology, a research team led by Wenjie Lv from East China University of Science and Technology develop a novel granular beds with asymmetric wettability microchannel structure combining oleophilic and oleophobic surfaces to enhances oil migration and separation the oil phase in oil-in-water emulsions. This study provides an efficient, low-energy pretreatment strategy in treating refinaery wastewater containing highly viscous, easily emulsified petroleum hydrocarbons that are difficult to separate.

SUTD researchers test a privacy-preserving approach that blends federated learning with cloud coordination for smart grids in future 6G environments.
