The Digital Artisan Esther Hunziker creates digital art. In doing so, she fabricates parallel universes. But this has nothing to do with the fantasy genre. An invisible layer of door security Bad news for burglars: Researchers have developed a special membrane that can be used to create invisible keypads. People who know that it’s there can use it to enter their building access code. Computers powering self-driving cars could emit vast amounts of CO2 Computers powering self-driving cars could be a big contributor to global carbon emissions, according to MIT. Algorithm decodes peculiarities of different yodeling styles An algorithm confirms what yodelers have been telling each other for a long time: Northwestern Swiss and Central Swiss yodels can be distinguished. University of Zurich teaches drones tricks 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. Fountain of youth for cells Reprogrammed cells allow wounds in older people to heal faster. This could, for example, help burn victims. Behavior-based authentication as an alternative to a plethora of passwords Whether when typing, moving, or walking, scientists are investigating how devices recognize users by their behavior. MIT creates new atlas of oxygen-poor waters The 3D maps would help researchers track and predict the ocean's response to climate change. Scrubbers with an artificial brain Artificial Intelligence makes robots mobile and autonomous. This is of particular interest for the manufacturers of cleaning equipment and their clients: Several 10.000 cleaning robots are currently deployed – and because of Corona, the number of smart cleaning machines is growing.
