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.

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.

Robotic arms can often only grasp with their fingertips. Complicated tasks thus quickly become unsolvable for robots. MIT researchers have now found a way to simplify certain processes.

The UN is calling on its members to ban or strictly regulate the use of AI technologies such as facial recognition software. Until the impact on human rights is clarified.

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based image recognition method is detecting planets outside our solar system that remain invisible using conventional approaches.

They are constantly becoming more sophisticated: Robots that recognize or simulate human emotions. What are they used for, and how do these systems work? A peek inside two research labs.

Researcher Lukas Tuggener and app developer Florian Seibold intend to revolutionize the world of professional music. They are digitizing sheet music using a completely new deep learning method: Deep Watershed Detection.

Researchers have developed a method of calculation that speeds up the search for people in distress at sea. Their new algorithm can be used to predict where objects or people are likely to drift to on the sea surface.

MIT researchers have built a robot that can locate hidden objects through walls or packaging. To do this, it uses radio waves. In the future, this could simplify logistics in warehouses, for example.

An international research team with Empa participation has developed a drone that can glide through water as well as fly through the air. To save energy, it attaches itself to other objects for a ride.
