A new ion trap for larger quantum computers Research ETH Zurich Researchers at ETH have managed to trap ions using static electric and magnetic fields and to perform quantum operations on them. In the future such traps could be used to realize quantum computers with far more quantum bits than have been possible up to now. ANYmal can do parkour and walk across rubble Research ETH Zurich The quadrupedal robot ANYmal went back to school and has learned a lot. ETH Zurich researchers used machine learning to teach it new skills: the robot can now climb over obstacles and successfully negotiate pitfalls. Artificial intelligence detects heart defects in newborns Research ETH Zurich Researchers from ETH Zurich and KUNO Klinik St. Hedwig in Regensburg have developed an algorithm that provides an automatic and reliable method of detecting a certain heart defect in newborns. Mini-organs with big potential Research ETH Zurich Organoids grown from human stem cells can help provide answers to important medical questions. In a partnership that looks set to profit both sides, ETH professor Barbara Treutlein has teamed up with pharma giant Roche to advance research in this area. Combatting infant malnutrition Research ETH Zurich Bioengineer Randall Platt engineers bacteria that can assess the state of our guts. It is hoped this non-invasive technique could eventually be used to develop more effective interventions against malnutrition among children in the Global South. “My aim is to give students a sense of how multifaceted the world is” Teaching ETH Zurich Artist Rosa Barba is constantly seeking new perspectives. At ETH, she works to bring art together with architecture, science and engineering. Previous 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23... Next Page 19 of 116
