Detect cancer faster - thanks to nanosensor Detecting cancer in a few minutes with a simple blood test: Scientists at the University of Fribourg are one step closer to achieving this goal. With a new nanosensor, they can detect biomarkers originating from cancer quickly and precisely. Like Lego: child's play to assemble stretchable devices An international team led by researchers at NTU in Singapore has developed a universal connector that allows stretchable devices to be assembled easily and quickly using the Lego principle. New coating against bacteria An international research team led by the University of Fribourg has developed a new antibacterial coating. On coated surfaces, the bacterial population is reduced by up to 10,000 times within five minutes. Salty gel could extract water from desert air MIT engineers have developed a super-absorbent material that can soak up a record amount of moisture from the air - even in desert-like conditions. Driverless trains, taxis and buses enjoy high acceptance People in Germany are now open to using self-driving vehicles. Almost three out of four respondents can imagine boarding driverless underground or suburban trains, taxis or buses. Researchers want to detect blood poisoning earlier using AI With the help of artificial intelligence (AI) a research team at the University Children's Hospital in Zurich has defined new criteria for the diagnosis of blood poisoning. This could improve the early detection of this dangerous disease.
