Artificial intelligence is more likely to create jobs than destroy them The use of AI will "probably not" lead to the destruction of jobs, but rather to possible changes in the quality of jobs - especially with regard to work intensity and autonomy. New analysis method aims to solve climate puzzle Researchers have developed a method for analysing 1.5 million-year-old ice. The analysis – which goes back almost twice as far as previously analysed ice cores – should help solve a climate puzzle. Detect cancer faster - thanks to nanosensor Detecting cancer in a few minutes with a simple blood test: Scientists at the University of Fribourg are one step closer to achieving this goal. With a new nanosensor, they can detect biomarkers originating from cancer quickly and precisely. High melanin yield from the honey fungus Melanin is more valuable than gold. Researchers at Empa recently succeeded in extracting large quantities of the pigment from the honey fungus. One of the intended applications of this versatile substance is to restore antique wind instruments. Fountain of youth for cells Reprogrammed cells allow wounds in older people to heal faster. This could, for example, help burn victims. Stefan Jermann Initiator and founder of Naratek. Has been moving in the field of communication and storytelling for over 20 years. Strong affinity for tech topics, urban transformations and how people will live and move in cities in the future. Salty gel could extract water from desert air MIT engineers have developed a super-absorbent material that can soak up a record amount of moisture from the air - even in desert-like conditions. New coating against bacteria An international research team led by the University of Fribourg has developed a new antibacterial coating. On coated surfaces, the bacterial population is reduced by up to 10,000 times within five minutes. Switching drugs on and off with light Swiss researchers have filmed for the first time how a drug was activated in the body with light. This film could give the development of such drugs a decisive boost.
