Innovative and groundbreaking technologies with high practical applications are crucial for enhancing people's lives and fostering connections within the worldwide scientific community. Since the first series of the award until now, the VinFuture Prize has consistently pursued its mission of "science for humanity" with a focus on the four core values: Equality, Global Reach, Sustainability, and Pioneering. It has achieved steady growth in quality, quantity, and diversity, as well as gained increasing international attention, influence, and reputation. The President also affirmed that: "The success of the VinFuture Prize as a well-deserved outcome of the founder's diligent and committed efforts. I express my appreciation and congratulations to the founders who established this Award." The 2023 VinFuture Grand Prize was awarded to four scientists: Prof. Martin Andrew Green (Australia), Prof. Stanley Whittingham (United States), Prof. Rachid Yazami (Morocco), and Prof. Akira Yoshino (Japan) for their breakthrough inventions in creating a sustainable platform for green energy through production with solar cells and storage with Lithium-ion batteries. The combination of these transformative projects spearheaded a revolution in sustainable green energy solutions for the modern world. Prof. Martin Green and his research team pioneered the Passive Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) technology, elevating energy conversion efficiency from 15% to an impressive 25%. These advancements deliver exceptional utilities, even in regions with limited sunlight conditions. Since its mass production in 2012, PERC solar cells have commanded a significant 60% share of the global solar cell market. Meanwhile, the advent of Lithium-ion battery storage has extended the reach of energy consumption across all geographical regions and socioeconomic classes, providing widespread access to green and sustainable energy solutions. Lithium-ion batteries power 15 billion mobile devices and 26 million electric vehicles globally, thanks to the work of outstanding scientists: Prof. Stanley Whittingham, Prof. Rachid Yazami, Prof. Akira Yoshino, and the late Prof. John Goodenough. The award ceremony also paid tribute to and honored the late Prof. John Goodenough – a pioneering scientist whose invention enabled Lithium-ion batteries to be safely rechargeable for the first time, improving the efficiency and saving resources. The synergy of these two groundbreaking technological revolutions has promoted the widespread adoption and accessibility of clean energy in our everyday lives through the conversion of solar energy into electricity by PERC solar cells and storage by Lithium-ion battery. In addition to the Grand Prize, three Special Prizes, each valued at US$500,000, have been awarded to innovators with outstanding achievements in emerging fields, female innovators, and innovators from developing countries. The 2023 VinFuture Special Prize for Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields is awarded to Prof. Daniel Joshua Drucker (Canada), Prof. Joel Francis Habener (United States), Prof. Jens Juul Holst (Denmark), and Assoc. Prof. Svetlana Mojsov (United States) for the "discovery of the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), paving the way for widely used treatments for diabetes and obesity and stimulating emerging applications for neurodegenerative diseases". The 2023 VinFuture Special Prize for Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields is awarded to Prof. Daniel Joshua Drucker (Canada), Prof. Joel Francis Habener (United States), Prof. Jens Juul Holst (Denmark), and Assoc. Prof. Svetlana Mojsov (United States) Their work lays the foundation for the treatment of many diseases, including type-2 diabetes, obesity, and short bowel syndrome, positively impacting more than 400 million people with type-2 diabetes, more than 1 billion people with obesity, and more than 3 million people with short bowel syndrome. In 2023, more than 20 million doses of GLP-1 drugs have been used in the world, with an impressive 6.7% increase in adoption. In addition, the discovery of the peptide's acting mechanism has promoted research and development of novel treatments for cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which are among the leading causes of death globally. The 2023 VinFuture Special Prize for Innovators from Developing Countries has honored Indian American Prof. Gurdev Singh Khush and Vietnamese Prof. Vo Tong Xuan for their significant contributions to the invention and advancement of disease-resistant rice varieties, ensuring global food security. Professor Khush pioneered the development of rice cultivars with pest resistance, short growth periods, and high yields, such as IR36 and IR64. Among them, IR64 and its descendants have been widely grown in many countries, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and India, while IR36 is popular in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, which is regularly plagued by pests. Thanks to the significant efforts of Prof. Vo Tong Xuan, IR36 and IR64 rice varieties are currently the most common in tropical Asia, helping to cut production costs, enhance yield, restrict pesticide use, and promote global agricultural sustainability. The 2023 VinFuture Special Prize for Female Innovators has honored Prof. Susan Solomon (United States) for the discovery of the ozone depletion mechanism in Antarctica, contributing to the establishment of the Montreal Protocol. Prof. Solomon gathered credible information about the unusually large hole in the ozone layer caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in Antarctica, laying the groundwork for proposing and bringing the Montreal Protocol to fruition. This is one of the most successful international accords in tackling global environmental concerns, contributing to a global agreement to phase out ozone-depleting compounds like CFCs. According to released data from 2016, the ozone hole has been reduced by more than 4 million square kilometers since its peak in 2000 and will entirely regenerate in the coming decades. The Montreal Protocol has made a substantial contribution to the protection of the global climate system and is expected to prevent an additional 100-200 billion tons of CO2 emissions by 2050, potentially reducing the global temperature increase from 2-5°C to 0.5°C by 2100. Commenting on the results of the 2023 VinFuture Prize, Professor Sir Richard Friend, VinFuture Prize Council Chair, stated, "We are very excited to have announced our new VinFuture Prize winners.

Renske Technologies

Have you ever found yourself grappling with persistent knee discomfort and wondered about the underlying reasons? Often, the culprit is the gradual erosion of the crucial cushioning within your knee joints, known as cartilage. This gradual wear and tear set the stage for a distressing phenomenon – bone-on-bone knee pain. This not only manifests as acute discomfort but also introduces unwelcome companions in the form of swelling and an unsettling, shaky sensation in your knees. The ramifications of this condition extend far beyond mere physical discomfort. Simple, everyday activities that were once taken for granted – like driving, climbing stairs, and even achieving a restful night's sleep – suddenly become surprisingly challenging.

Neural Therapeutics Scientific Advisory Board Member Professor David Nutt presents fascinating insights into psychedelic medicine and its potential uses. His pioneering research, influencing Australia's adoption of psychedelic medicines, underscores a pivotal moment in mental health care. Nutt highlighted the historical journey of psychedelics, from widespread research in the 1950s and 60s to their banning due to misperceptions about safety and efficacy. This ban, tied to political motives, stifled research for decades. Recent studies, however, have rekindled interest, demonstrating the low harm and high efficacy of psychedelics compared to other substances, particularly in clinical settings. Professor Nutt's work reveals significant breakthroughs in treating conditions like treatment-resistant depression, addiction, and alcoholism using psychedelics like psilocybin and mescaline. His team's studies show unprecedented success rates, often with just a single dose, offering hope for those with chronic mental health issues. These findings are supported by neuroimaging studies that illustrate how psychedelics promote neuroplasticity, enabling the brain to forge new, healthier thought patterns. This revival of psychedelic research marks a revolution in mental health treatment, offering new pathways for those who have not benefited from traditional therapies. The Australian regulatory body's recent approval of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression exemplifies this shift. Nutt's presentation, a blend of historical context, scientific evidence, and a call for compassionate use, heralds a new era in mental health care, emphasizing the potential of psychedelics to transform lives. For further reading, Nutt recommends his co-edited book on psychedelics in psychiatry and a forthcoming book for the general public. The presentation is introduced by Neural Therapeutics CEO and Director Ian Campbell. Neural Therapeutics is a drug-discovery company focusing on plant-based active substances with the goal of delivering beneficial, over-the-counter dietary supplements and psychedelic-based therapeutic medicines to treat serious mental ailments where no significant treatment is available today.
