WICO is an annual competition organized by the Korea University Invention Association (KUIA) and sponsored by the Republic of Korea’s National Assembly. The 12th WICO, held in South Korea from July 27-29, witnessed the participation of contestants from 27 countries. The competition provided a platform for secondary and high school students worldwide to showcase their innovations, fostering creativity, improving presentation skills, and establishing a global network.

Vietnam has been consistently successful at WICO, winning several gold medals since 2017. In the previous edition, the 11th WICO in 2022, the Vietnamese delegation secured 7 Gold Medals.

The winners in the second group were Nguyen Le Hoang, Tran Gia Khiem, and Vu Hong Phuc, who were recognized for their project on “Study on extracting biologically active substances from avocado leaves to make dietary supplements for patients with gastric ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori”.

In the third group, students Le Tuan Minh and Nguyen Bao Vi received a special prize from Thailand’s Chulalongkom University for their project on “Research on making preparations to treat household plastic waste”.

Their project involved isolating microbial strains from the intestines of wax worms, which eat plastic, to create a preparation for microplastic treatment.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
