Full-text search Fulltext search 226 Resultate 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. Deep learning system explores the inside of materials - from the outside MIT researchers have developed a new method to find out what is going on inside materials. To do this, they need data from the material's surface alone. 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. Creation of the first ever levitated massive particle with quantum properties For the first time ever, physicists in Vienna have succeeded in creating a levitated solid-state object with quantum properties. Study: Reducing the carbon footprint of houses and cars also saves money It is possible to reduce the carbon footprint attributable to driving and housing while saving money at the same time. This has been determined by researchers from the “Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies” (BEST) competence center in Wieselburg, Austria. 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. One drop is enough: Paper battery with water switch A team of Empa researchers has developed a disposable paper battery that works with metallic inks and salt - activated by a drop of water. This could be used to power a wide range of small disposable electronic devices with low power consumption. 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. 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. 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.
