Hey science buffs! At the 2025 World Young Scientist Summit (WYSS) in Wenzhou, four bright minds from China, Italy and Germany earned the Young Scientist Sustainable Development Goals Award. Their groundbreaking work spans compound semiconductor materials, molecular and cellular biology, organic and perovskite photovoltaics, and photonic quantum computing.
🔬 Compound semiconductors: New materials that can supercharge 5G networks and IoT devices in smart cities like Mumbai and Jakarta—think faster streams and lower energy bills!
🌱 Molecular & cellular biology: Innovations that could lead to disease-resistant crops and healthier communities, hitting SDG targets on zero hunger and good health.
☀️ Organic & perovskite photovoltaics: Flexible, low-cost solar cells perfect for rooftop setups across South and Southeast Asia, powering everything from smartphones to streetlights.
💡 Photonic quantum computing: Using light particles (photons) to process data at lightning speed—opening doors for next-gen AI, secure communications, and fintech apps.
At WYSS, attendees dived into workshops, hackathons and networking sessions—fueling fresh ideas and global collaboration. Next year could be your turn to join the innovation wave! 🤝
