Full-text search Fulltext search 71 Resultate 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. Early warning system to save endangered species Biodiversity is declining rapidly. In order to recognise species worthy of protection in time, a research group from Fribourg wants to combine artificial intelligence, image data and citizen science. Researchers bestow objects with their own DNA Using a new method, researchers can now turn everyday things into data storage devices. They achieved this by using the genetic material DNA as an information carrier. Aerial water drone hitchhikes An international research team with Empa participation has developed a drone that can glide through water as well as fly through the air. To save energy, it attaches itself to other objects for a ride. New analysis method aims to solve climate puzzle Researchers have developed a method for analysing 1.5 million-year-old ice. The analysis – which goes back almost twice as far as previously analysed ice cores – should help solve a climate puzzle. Breakthrough in protein recognition - thanks to Deep Learning Proteins control most processes in living cells and are vital for humans. If it were possible to precisely determine all proteins in an organism, diseases such as Alzheimer's or cancer could be treated better and more individually. A house in the spirit of the circular economy The ZHAW has built a house according to the closed-loop principle: Nutrients extracted from urine serve as fertiliser, rainwater is processed into drinking water. And much more besides. Videos show growth of butterfly wings The findings could help develop new functional materials. Waterproof textiles, for example. Or construction materials for self-cleaning buildings.
