This could help to systematically remove plastic waste from the oceans using ships. AI discovers new exoplanets An artificial intelligence (AI)-based image recognition method is detecting planets outside our solar system that remain invisible using conventional approaches. Eye-tracking system facilitates pilot training Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a system to facilitate pilot training and thus make flying safer. The software uses eye-tracking to reveal perception gaps. Twelve fans filter the air near Reykjavik To slow down climate change, a new type of plant in Iceland filters CO2 from the air. This is then mixed with water and injected into basalt. There it petrifies. New tracking system makes food aid more transparent Until now, food aid operations have been a black box. A new MIT technology is shedding light on the issue, with unique IDs for each individual product. Drones and AI provide information about the melting ice How fast is the ice melting in Antarctica? Autonomous drones and AI could help reduce the uncertainty of sea-level rise. Microplastics reach the brain Tiny micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNP) can not only enter the body through food, as is well known, but can even reach the brain. Rhythmical activity detected in lab-grown mini-brains In the laboratory, scientists have created miniature brains whose cells interact with each other and produce electrical activity. But just how much do the models have to do with the original? Materials as hard as snail teeth Researchers want to harness the unusual wear resistance of limpet teeth for new types of materials. AI diagnoses heart defects in babies An artificial intelligence (AI) developed by Zurich researchers recognises a specific heart defect in newborns. According to the researchers, it has the potential to reduce the number of missed diagnoses of pulmonary hypertension.
