Here, Swiss industry can find advice on how to tackle the digital transformation. Head of Research Dominic Gorecky knows: There are still many hurdles to overcome on the path towards Industry 4.0. 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. A house in the spirit of the circular economy The ZHAW has built a house according to the closed-loop principle: Nutrients extracted from urine serve as fertiliser, rainwater is processed into drinking water. And much more besides. 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. 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. Swissloop is hovering on a wave of success With its second place in the Hyperloop contest in the United States, the Swiss engineering collective Swissloop has caused quite a stir. Now they are ready to take the next step. Creation of the first ever levitated massive particle with quantum properties For the first time ever, physicists in Vienna have succeeded in creating a levitated solid-state object with quantum properties. 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. Researchers bestow objects with their own DNA Using a new method, researchers can now turn everyday things into data storage devices. They achieved this by using the genetic material DNA as an information carrier. Based on sounds: AI determines species diversity According to a study, an automated analysis of animal sounds can provide a good indication of the development of species diversity in the area. The analysis was tested with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) on tropical reforestation areas.
