An artificial intelligence (AI)-based image recognition method is detecting planets outside our solar system that remain invisible using conventional approaches.

Artificial intelligence is speeding up the discovery of plants with anti-malaria properties. This is the conclusion reached by an international research team.

Bad news for burglars: Researchers have developed a special membrane that can be used to create invisible keypads. People who know that it’s there can use it to enter their building access code.

Empa researchers have tracked viruses as they pass through face masks and compared their failure on the filter layers of different types of masks. The new method should now accelerate the development of surfaces that can kill viruses.

Scientists in Singapore have developed a low-cost device that can harness the energy of light breezes and store it as electricity.

Many bridges are getting on in years and need renovation. Empa has optimised a strengthening method that allows concrete to withstand 77 percent more pressure.

Researchers at MIT have developed a method that helps users understand how a machine learning model thinks and compare it to how a human thinks.

Microchips are becoming smaller and smaller: hard drives write entire encyclopedias on discs the size of a fingernail. Many processes take place at the atomic level - and little is known about them. Now PSI researchers have reached a milestone.

Inrecent years, few technologies have evolved at the speed of Artificial Intelligence, and in particular at that of Neural Networks. This exponential growth has been achieved mainly due to two factors:

Never before have flexible solar cells been so efficient: A team from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) has created a flexible thin-film solar cell with a record-breaking efficiency of 20.8 percent.
