Whether on e-commerce sites, streaming services, and social media, something knows what we like… Gentle identification of fish species through their DNA Identifying fish species in a river using DNA traces: This method was tested in Switzerland. It proved to be simpler and more reliable than the electrofishing method used to date. Smallest stent in the world from a 4D printer Thanks to a new process known as “indirect 4D printing”, researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) have succeeded in producing a tiny vascular prosthesis (stent). It is around 40 times smaller than was previously possible. Such mini stents could one day be used in fetuses. New AI technique allows live look into brain processes 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. Clever cleaning of solar modules 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. Cheap raw material for smartphones and solar cells 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. Using deep learning to create a digital sheet music stand Researcher Lukas Tuggener and app developer Florian Seibold intend to revolutionize the world of professional music. They are digitizing sheet music using a completely new deep learning method: Deep Watershed Detection. Diagnostics: A new era begins Artificial intelligence could revolutionize medical diagnostics – for example the algorithm developed by the pathologist Viktor Kölzer. But this revolution requires data. And data requires protection. Swiss researchers decode AI thought processes 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. Mitigating the effects of global warming with moon dust In a recent study, US scientists suggest using moon dust to combat global warming, since lunar dust shields a lot of sunlight with little mass. Other experts are critical of this method.
