If the smart textile sensor is integrated into sportswear or workwear, it can predict how tired the wearer is during physical exertion. 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. In a smart factory, the products control their own production processes In the Swiss Smart Factory, the factory of the future is within reach. Here, Swiss industry can find advice on how to tackle the digital transformation. Head of Research Dominic Gorecky knows: There are still many hurdles to overcome on the path towards Industry 4.0. 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. Brain-machine interfaces for the mass-market The factory of the future: Humans use brain-machine interfaces to control production processes through the power of their minds. This vision was presented to the public on the campus of the EPFL Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne within the framework of the “Mental Work” project. At the same time, a unique data set was collected. 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. 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. 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. 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.
