How fast is the ice melting in Antarctica? Autonomous drones and AI could help reduce the uncertainty of sea-level rise.

Decisions made by machines based on AI have already been shown to be discriminatory or racist. This is due to the fact that the algorithms draw on data originating from humans, and this data is frequently biased – among other things with sexist prejudices.

Many bridges are getting on in years and need renovation. Empa has optimised a strengthening method that allows concrete to withstand 77 percent more pressure.

An international team of researchers has discovered a previously unknown species of prehistoric dinosaur. According to the researchers, the species lived almost 300 million years ago, even before the dinosaurs. The animal caused great joy on social networks.

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.

There is a new app that uses 360-degree images shot by drones to help people overcome their fear of heights.

The number of devices transmitting data, for example in transport logistics, will increase sharply in the future. But the amount of batteries needed for this would have an enormous impact on the environment. A compostable mini-capacitor could solve the problem.

Thanks to a navigation algorithm, drones are learning to autonomously perform acrobatic maneuvers. Using simulations, the autonomous aircraft are trained to become faster, more agile, and more efficient.

First Craig Venter deciphered the human genome, then he created the first bacterium with an artificial genome. But the American gene pioneer has always been controversial. A portrait.
