They hope this will open the way to more targeted and personalised therapies. Material transforms from flexible to rigid on command A material inspired by chainmail can transform from a foldable, fluid-like state into specific solid shapes. 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. Leg prosthesis communicates with the brain thanks to a new interface An international research team led jointly from Zurich and Lausanne has developed a novel interface between leg prostheses and the wearer’s thigh that transmits sensations to the brain. The interface has already enabled two volunteers to walk more easily and has reduced their phantom pain. AI reveals connection between sugar and covid A team from EPFL wanted to know what diabetes has to do with the course of covid and used artificial intelligence to analyse 250,000 studies. Switching drugs on and off with light Swiss researchers have filmed for the first time how a drug was activated in the body with light. This film could give the development of such drugs a decisive boost. Robot evokes ghost illusions in Parkinson's patients Researchers have succeeded in evoking tangible but invisible presences in Parkinson's patients with the help of a robot. An AI that learns spontaneously by asking people questions AI is still only as good as the data it has been trained on. It doesn't know what it doesn't know. Researchers have now developed an AI that learns by asking people questions. The sensor that sweats with you Engineers at MIT have developed a sweat-proof electronic "skin." The design could lead to adaptable, wearable monitors for monitoring skin cancer and other diseases. Microplastics could promote cancer According to a new study, tiny plastic particles can be passed on during cell division. This could potentially favour the spread of cancer.
