It could record a golf ball from a distance of 24 kilometres - but it will be used in an observatory. With gold against steamed-up glasses Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a coating for eyeglasses that heats up lenses with sunlight. The invention is intended to prevent them from fogging up. Early warning system to save endangered species Biodiversity is declining rapidly. In order to recognise species worthy of protection in time, a research group from Fribourg wants to combine artificial intelligence, image data and citizen science. Detect cancer faster - thanks to nanosensor Detecting cancer in a few minutes with a simple blood test: Scientists at the University of Fribourg are one step closer to achieving this goal. With a new nanosensor, they can detect biomarkers originating from cancer quickly and precisely. Researchers create record-breaking flexible solar cell Never before have flexible solar cells been so efficient: A team from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) has created a flexible thin-film solar cell with a record-breaking efficiency of 20.8 percent. 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. Leg prosthesis communicates with the brain thanks to a new interface An international research team led jointly from Zurich and Lausanne has developed a novel interface between leg prostheses and the wearer’s thigh that transmits sensations to the brain. The interface has already enabled two volunteers to walk more easily and has reduced their phantom pain. How an artist taught iron to fly Swiss artist Heiko Schütz creates sculptures from iron letters, including iron spheres. One of these spheres regularly rises into the air in the shape of a balloon. A studio visit with a witty ironworker. Study: Reducing the carbon footprint of houses and cars also saves money It is possible to reduce the carbon footprint attributable to driving and housing while saving money at the same time. This has been determined by researchers from the “Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies” (BEST) competence center in Wieselburg, Austria.
