Driverless trains, taxis and buses enjoy high acceptance People in Germany are now open to using self-driving vehicles. Almost three out of four respondents can imagine boarding driverless underground or suburban trains, taxis or buses. Chile: Remains of dinosaur with duck's beak discovered Scientists in Chile have for the first time discovered the remains of a species of dinosaur with a duck's beak – the «Gonkoken nanoi». Does the weather influence the success of pop music? A study involving the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Empirical Aesthetics suggests that the weather influences the Top 10 charts. Swiss start-up achieves breakthrough in quantum encryption Swiss start-up Terra Quantum has been able to transmit quantum-encrypted data 10,000 times faster and over a greater distance than ever before. This is shown by data published by the company. AI finds plants for anti-malaria drugs Artificial intelligence is speeding up the discovery of plants with anti-malaria properties. This is the conclusion reached by an international research team. Microplastics reach the brain Tiny micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNP) can not only enter the body through food, as is well known, but can even reach the brain. Nimble robot reflexively organises cluttered spaces Instead of starting over after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot continuously adapts its behaviour. 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. FEATURE STORY 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. Subscribe to all feature stories as RSS feed Subscribe to all short news as RSS feed
