According to the developers from the University of Zurich, this is a milestone for robotics. A high-tech honeycomb for bees 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. Lukas Rüttimann I love people, and I love technology. My fascination is awakened when each inspires the other. Then I grasp my analog notepad– and try to capture the whole story. Still analog, because for me, certain things will always remain a handicraft. Swiss researchers decode AI thought processes Researchers have developed a new method for decoding the thinking of artificial intelligences. This is particularly important for situations in which self-learning computer programmes make decisions with implications for human lives. 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. Surfaces that kill viruses 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. AI finds plants for anti-malaria drugs Artificial intelligence is speeding up the discovery of plants with anti-malaria properties. This is the conclusion reached by an international research team. AI discovers new exoplanets An artificial intelligence (AI)-based image recognition method is detecting planets outside our solar system that remain invisible using conventional approaches.
