Gaming with a serious purpose: Serious games support medical therapies, make it easier for children to learn, or encourage young people to explore art.

The metal of discarded mobile phones in Germany is sufficient to cover the material demand for smartphones for the next ten years - purely mathematically.

Inrecent years, few technologies have evolved at the speed of Artificial Intelligence, and in particular at that of Neural Networks. This exponential growth has been achieved mainly due to two factors:

Researchers from Switzerland and France have started to develop a brassiere that detects breast cancer at an early stage. Such a smart bra would be considerably cheaper than a mammography, a fact that would benefit women in impoverished countries in particular.

Earth’s orbit is riddled with disused satellites and debris – a danger to the infrastructure in space. Now, the European Space Agency (ESA) has commissioned a Swiss start-up to prepare a waste disposal mission.

To slow down climate change, a new type of plant in Iceland filters CO2 from the air. This is then mixed with water and injected into basalt. There it petrifies.

Endel uses artificial intelligence to create personalized music. The soundscape app promises to improve concentration or facilitate relaxation, depending on what the user requires. The app even claims to alleviate sleeping problems. A self-experiment.

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.
