In a gene network built into cells, insulin production can be switched on with green light. Microplastics fly particularly far and high Microplastic fibres fly higher and further than previously assumed - even as far as the Arctic. Creation of the first ever levitated massive particle with quantum properties For the first time ever, physicists in Vienna have succeeded in creating a levitated solid-state object with quantum properties. Smart sanitary napkin monitors premature birth risk in pregnant women Researchers at the University Hospital and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have developed an “intelligent” sanitary napkin to monitor the risk of premature birth. The aim is to avoid long hospital stays. More suitable donor livers – thanks to an artificial body Researchers in Zurich have built a machine that can keep donor livers alive for up to one week. This opens up possibilities to rescue even deficient donor livers and still be able to transplant them. Physicists are on the trail of a “sensation“ The particle accelerator at CERN in Geneva will start up again at the end of March 2022. It is more powerful than ever before. Can physicists now prove a previously unknown force of nature? 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. Artificial nacre takes on a load-bearing role Researchers have developed a new building material that indicates dangerous internal deformations: by glowing. With the increasing use of lightweight construction - for example in aircraft construction - this is a great advantage. Unused mobile phones hold huge potential The metal of discarded mobile phones in Germany is sufficient to cover the material demand for smartphones for the next ten years - purely mathematically. Are you serious? Learning by gaming Gaming with a serious purpose: Serious games support medical therapies, make it easier for children to learn, or encourage young people to explore art.
