Researchers in Zurich have built a machine that can keep donor livers alive for up to one week. This opens up possibilities to rescue even deficient donor livers and still be able to transplant them.

Empa researchers have tracked viruses as they pass through face masks and compared their failure on the filter layers of different types of masks. The new method should now accelerate the development of surfaces that can kill viruses.

Storing energy for months without loss and using it for heating in winter: researchers have invented a new type of chemical heat storage system that can store large amounts of energy for virtually unlimited periods in an environmentally friendly way.

A new high-tech honeycomb makes it possible to study bee colonies. The hive robot developed by EPFL researchers should provide new insights into the survival of pollinators.
