A project by Austrian researchers is testing a risk assessment of routes by drones. Aircraft of the future make less noise In an Empa research project, study participants rated the noise of new types of aircraft as less annoying than the noise of today's aircraft. Researchers unveil energy storage concept using a sand cable car Researchers have come up with the vision of a pumped storage power plant of a special kind. Their idea involves a type of cable car that can be used to transport sand or gravel up mountains in order to generate electricity when required by transporting it down the mountain again. Materials as hard as snail teeth Researchers want to harness the unusual wear resistance of limpet teeth for new types of materials. New tracking system makes food aid more transparent Until now, food aid operations have been a black box. A new MIT technology is shedding light on the issue, with unique IDs for each individual product. Drones and AI provide information about the melting ice How fast is the ice melting in Antarctica? Autonomous drones and AI could help reduce the uncertainty of sea-level rise. Researchers keep an eye on invisible glaciers Researchers have used a new surveying method for the first time to keep tabs on ice remnants hidden by boulders in Austria's Silvretta Mountains. Via laser. Rhythmical activity detected in lab-grown mini-brains In the laboratory, scientists have created miniature brains whose cells interact with each other and produce electrical activity. But just how much do the models have to do with the original?
