Full-text search Fulltext search 322 Resultate AI helps with early diagnosis of diabetes Geneva researchers have discovered a molecule that indicates diabetes even before the first symptoms appear. To identify it, they used machine learning methods to analyse thousands of molecules. Switching drugs on and off with light Swiss researchers have filmed for the first time how a drug was activated in the body with light. This film could give the development of such drugs a decisive boost. Plastic mix becomes pure propane Cobalt-based catalysts could be used to turn mixed plastic waste into fuel, new plastics and other products. ETH researchers produce fuel from sunlight and air Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) have achieved a world première: They have developed a technology that produces carbon-neutral fuels using only sunlight and air. The solar refinery is already operating under real-life conditions. Industrial Metaverse It's here: the parallel world of industry. What are the benefits of the Industrial Metaverse? And where does development stand? Urs Reimann, Head of Digital Transformation at Bystronic, provides answers. “The Mars mission demands humanitarianism” The moon landing is history – Mars beckons. The aerospace sector is gearing up – among other things with artificial intelligence (AI). Is the next giant leap coming soon? An interview with Alessandro Donati from the European Space Agency ESA. New robot jumps like an antelope A new four-legged robot with artificial intelligence can seamlessly change its gait. To avoid falls, the robot switches between walking, trotting and jumping depending on the situation. Knitted roads Road pavements require bitumen as a binder. But its production has many disadvantages. Empa researchers are now experimenting with string, which holds gravel together without the need for concrete - and is also more flexible, more permeable to rainwater and more environmentally friendly. AI reveals connection between sugar and covid A team from EPFL wanted to know what diabetes has to do with the course of covid and used artificial intelligence to analyse 250,000 studies. Swiss researchers print self-healing skin for robot Swiss researchers have used a 3D printer to print a skin for a robot that can mend itself after being damaged.
