While the world debates the future of AI and immersive technology, one researcher from Pakistan is already applying these tools where they matter most: helping autistic children with learning.
Prof. Vahab Mirrokni, a leading computer scientist and the 2025 Mustafa(pbuh) Prize laureate, spoke about major recent advancements in data-search technology in an interview; technologies that help computers find similar information faster and more efficiently than ever before.
The call for the 2026 Young Scientist Medal has been opened, inviting institutions or academic figures to nominate outstanding scientific works by researchers under 40 Nominations will close on January 20.
Mohammad Abdolahad, a leading figure in cancer diagnosis and a laureate of the 3rd Mustafa(pbuh)Prize, reflects on his unconventional scientific journey and shares insights into his pioneering approaches to cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Ten years ago, in 2015, Professor Omar Yaghi received the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize for his pioneering work in developing Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a new class of materials with vast potential for energy, environment, and health applications. A decade later, in 2025, the world celebrates him again—this time as a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. In this exclusive interview with the Mustafa(pbuh) Science and Technology Foundation (MSTF), Professor Yaghi reflects on his journey of discovery, his philosophy of science, and his advice to the next generation of scientists.
Algae may be microscopic, but their potential to transform industries is massive, ranging from turning food waste into renewable energy to feeding astronauts in space. Researchers like Dr. Show Pau Loke of Khalifa University, UAE, are exploring how these organisms could reshape biotechnology, food security, and environmental sustainability.
