Sensors and switches made of wood Sustainable electronic elements can be made from wood. This is helped by a novel process that uses a laser to engrave electrically conductive tracks into veneers. Does the weather influence the success of pop music? A study involving the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Empirical Aesthetics suggests that the weather influences the Top 10 charts. University of Zurich teaches drones tricks Thanks to a navigation algorithm, drones are learning to autonomously perform acrobatic maneuvers. Using simulations, the autonomous aircraft are trained to become faster, more agile, and more efficient. Behavior-based authentication as an alternative to a plethora of passwords Whether when typing, moving, or walking, scientists are investigating how devices recognize users by their behavior. Swissloop is hovering on a wave of success With its second place in the Hyperloop contest in the United States, the Swiss engineering collective Swissloop has caused quite a stir. Now they are ready to take the next step. Fountain of youth for cells Reprogrammed cells allow wounds in older people to heal faster. This could, for example, help burn victims. An invisible layer of door security 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. Computers powering self-driving cars could emit vast amounts of CO2 Computers powering self-driving cars could be a big contributor to global carbon emissions, according to MIT. The soundtrack of your life Endel uses artificial intelligence to create personalized music. The soundscape app promises to improve concentration or facilitate relaxation, depending on what the user requires. The app even claims to alleviate sleeping problems. A self-experiment.
