Are we on our way to intelligent microrobots?

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have developed a micromachine that can perform different actions. First nanomagnets in the components of the microrobots are magnetically programmed and then the various movements are controlled by magnetic fields. Such machines, which are only a few tens of micrometres across, could be used, for

Scientists develop painless and inexpensive microneedle system to monitor drugs

The new system consists of a small, thin patch that is pressed against a patient’s arm during medical treatment and measures drugs in their bloodstream painlessly without drawing any blood. The tiny needle-like projection, less than half a milimetre long, resembles a hollow cone and doesn’t pierce the skin like a standard hypodermic needle. “Many

Finding sustainable petrol – how solar energy can be transformed into fuel

The sun is a clean and inexhaustible source of energy, with the potential to provide a sustainable answer to all future energy supply demands. There’s just one outstanding problem: the sun doesn’t always shine and its energy is hard to store. For the first time, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the ETH

Rechargeable batteries that last 30 to 50 percent longer and re-charge more rapidly

Materials researchers at the Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in Villigen and the ETH Zurich have developed a very simple and cost-effective procedure for significantly enhancing the performance of conventional Li-ion rechargeable batteries. The procedure is scalable in size, so the use of rechargeable batteries will be optimized in all areas of application-whether in wristwatches,

New Laser Data Transmission for Computer Chips Uses Only a Fraction of the Energy

An international team of scientists constructs the first germanium-tin semiconductor laser for silicon chips Scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland in cooperation with international partners have presented the first semiconductor consisting solely of elements of main group IV. As a consequence, the germanium-tin (GeSn) laser can be applied directly onto

Superconductivity switched on by magnetic field surprises scientists

The possibility of directly controlling quantum states may be important for possible future quantum computers. Superconductivity and magnetic fields are normally seen as rivals – very strong magnetic fields normally destroy the superconducting state. Physicists at the Paul Scherrer Institute have now demonstrated that a novel superconducting state is only created in the material CeCoIn5

Germanium made compatible – faster communications on the way

Good news for the computer industry: a team of researchers has managed to make germanium suitable for lasers. This could enable microprocessor components to communicate using light in future, which will make the computers of the future faster and more efficient. Researchers from ETH Zurich, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the Politecnico di Milano

Pilot plant converts fruit and veggie waste into natural gas for cars

Everything the plant generates can be utilized Some readers might remember the Mr. Fusion unit in Back to the Future that Doc Brown fills with household garbage, including a banana peel and some beer, to power the iconic time-traveling DeLorean. While we’re still some way from such direct means of running our cars on
