This is a world record. Algorithms conquer the stage He is bringing artificial intelligence to the theater stage: Ilja Mirsky. And, in the opinion of this young digital artist who reveres analog theater, it is okay if the technology fails during a live performance. A sensor without chip and battery A skin sensor developed at MIT is as thin as adhesive tape and sends signals - without a chip or battery. The device can vibrate in response to a person's heartbeat or the salt in their sweat, as well as generate a readable electrical signal. For the climate: cycling like the Danes Danes cycle about 1.6 kilometres every day. If everyone cycled that much, 414 tonnes of carbon dioxide could be saved every year. That is equivalent to the UK's annual CO2 emissions. Building like bees Swarms of bees as models for drones in construction: Empa has tested drones that work in teams under human control to 3D print materials for building or repairing structures. Wind energy in miniature Scientists in Singapore have developed a low-cost device that can harness the energy of light breezes and store it as electricity. Video games: Good for the brain? Video games may have a positive impact on the development of children's cognitive skills, contrary to popular belief. The world's largest digital camera US researchers are working on the world's largest digital camera. It could record a golf ball from a distance of 24 kilometres - but it will be used in an observatory. Metaverse glove from the 3D printer Researchers are working on the next generation of a VR glove that makes virtual worlds tangible in the Metaverse. The glove is to be customised to the user and can be produced largely automatically - using the 3D printing process. Early warning system to save endangered species Biodiversity is declining rapidly. In order to recognise species worthy of protection in time, a research group from Fribourg wants to combine artificial intelligence, image data and citizen science.
