I want to tell stories about this and meet people with new ideas and concepts. My main interests: sustainable development and anything associated with sociology – even though I’m no sociologist. Apart from this, I love French cheese, thick American novels, and cats. Radar sensors without interference Researchers have made a breakthrough in filtering interference from radar sensors used in autonomous driving: the results far surpass the current state of the art. The soundtrack of your life 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. Breakthrough in protein recognition - thanks to Deep Learning Proteins control most processes in living cells and are vital for humans. If it were possible to precisely determine all proteins in an organism, diseases such as Alzheimer's or cancer could be treated better and more individually. Converting plastic waste into fuel Scientists have developed a new method to convert plastic waste into hydrogen through pyrolysis, a high-temperature chemical process. New app makes everyday life easier for the blind The Swiss National Association for the Blind (SZB) is relying on a new technology to help blind and visually impaired people find their way around in everyday life. It is already being used in Spain and England. Heat: Store in summer, use in winter Storing energy for months without loss and using it for heating in winter: researchers have invented a new type of chemical heat storage system that can store large amounts of energy for virtually unlimited periods in an environmentally friendly way. New algorithms help with anesthesia Anesthetic drugs affect the brain. But to tell if a patient will remain unconscious during surgery, most anesthesiologists rely on heart rate, breathing rate and movement. Algorithms could improve this process. Superworms can digest plastic thanks to gut microbes The larvae of a species of beetle native to Central and South America can apparently survive with plastic as their only food source. The larvae's appetite for Styrofoam could be the key to mass plastic recycling. Apple car on the horizon? In 2020, the tech giant Apple massively ramped up its testing of self-driving cars. Does this mean the company has plans to start manufacturing its own cars?
