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. Mitigating the effects of global warming with moon dust In a recent study, US scientists suggest using moon dust to combat global warming, since lunar dust shields a lot of sunlight with little mass. Other experts are critical of this method. Switching drugs on and off with light Swiss researchers have filmed for the first time how a drug was activated in the body with light. This film could give the development of such drugs a decisive boost. Smart running pants warn of exhaustion while jogging A newly developed yarn can measure body movements. If the smart textile sensor is integrated into sportswear or workwear, it can predict how tired the wearer is during physical exertion. Recipe for greener concrete Concrete has a huge carbon footprint. Researchers at MIT in the USA have now developed a method to make its production more climate-friendly. The secret ingredient: baking powder. Electric rockets on two wheels They accelerate like no other vehicle, but not for long: electric motorcycles are not (yet) the hit they could be due to a lack of range. But the electric bullets do offer innovation. AI predicts electricity demand - with traffic data Using artificial intelligence, researchers supported by the SNSF were able to predict electricity consumption from data on the load of railways and roads. Researchers develop harvesting robot with Chat-GPT Researchers from Lausanne have developed a robot for harvesting tomatoes with Chat-GPT. Salty gel could extract water from desert air MIT engineers have developed a super-absorbent material that can soak up a record amount of moisture from the air - even in desert-like conditions.
