Such ethical dilemmas take center stage in the public debate relating to self-driving cars. However, there are other much more pressing questions. 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. MIT creates new atlas of oxygen-poor waters The 3D maps would help researchers track and predict the ocean's response to climate change. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
