Researchers have developed a new method for decoding the thinking of artificial intelligences. This is particularly important for situations in which self-learning computer programmes make decisions with implications for human lives.

Researchers have developed a new method to look into the fine structures of the brain. Artificial intelligence (AI) reconstructs the tissue as precisely as it has never been photographed.

Shalev Lifshitz is the world’s youngest AI researcher. In this interview he explains how conflicts between humankind and machines can be solved.

From London to Sydney in just four and a half hours – this is the dream of the UK Space Agency (UKSA). A special propulsion system that is intended to make this flight at supersonic speed possible is targeted for the 2030s.

A specially coated metal mesh can extract water from fog and remove environmental pollutants at the same time. With the technology developed in Zurich, drinking water can be extracted from the air even in regions with heavy air pollution.

Robotic arms can often only grasp with their fingertips. Complicated tasks thus quickly become unsolvable for robots. MIT researchers have now found a way to simplify certain processes.

The UN is calling on its members to ban or strictly regulate the use of AI technologies such as facial recognition software. Until the impact on human rights is clarified.

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) have achieved a world première: They have developed a technology that produces carbon-neutral fuels using only sunlight and air. The solar refinery is already operating under real-life conditions.

An international research team led jointly from Zurich and Lausanne has developed a novel interface between leg prostheses and the wearer’s thigh that transmits sensations to the brain. The interface has already enabled two volunteers to walk more easily and has reduced their phantom pain.

Researchers at MIT have developed a method that helps users understand how a machine learning model thinks and compare it to how a human thinks.
