Using a new method, researchers can now turn everyday things into data storage devices. They achieved this by using the genetic material DNA as an information carrier.

A research team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) has presented a prototype of a low-cost filter that efficiently decontaminates water using only sunlight. The device is intended to provide clean drinking water for people in regions with little electricity.

Scientists have developed a new method to convert plastic waste into hydrogen through pyrolysis, a high-temperature chemical process.

Dust accumulating on solar panels is a big problem. But washing the panels consumes large amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method.

Whether for smartphone screens or solar cells: Precious metals such as iridium or ruthenium are in high demand. Researchers from Basel have developed a cheaper and less toxic alternative.

The solar cells from the inkjet printer are ultra-thin and flexible - and should also work inside buildings.

MIT engineers have developed ultra-light fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source.

Using artificial intelligence, researchers supported by the SNSF were able to predict electricity consumption from data on the load of railways and roads.

Researchers want to use chicken feathers to produce green electricity. They use the keratin in chicken feathers to replace highly toxic chemicals in fuel cells.

An international research team with Empa participation has developed a drone that can glide through water as well as fly through the air. To save energy, it attaches itself to other objects for a ride.
