Rethinking timber buildings
Research
Empa
A new European research project, TIMBERHAUS, aiming at promoting timber construction in Europe, was launched in Copenhagen in early November. The goal is to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the construction sector by developing innovative timber construction technologies and design solutions. The pan-European consortium consists of 19 partners from ten countries, including Empa.

New supercomputer enables cutting-edge and sustainable research
Research
EPFL
EPFL’s new Kuma supercomputer, which ranks 23rd in the Green500 ranking, illustrates EPFL’s efforts to support cutting-edge research with a low environmental impact. With Kuma, EPFL is helping anchor Switzerland’s position at the forefront of sustainable computing.
Behavioural analysis in mice: more precise results despite fewer animals
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich are utilising artificial intelligence to analyse the behaviour of laboratory mice more efficiently and reduce the number of animals in experiments.
Everyday routines as the key to logging in
Research
ETH Zurich
Smart homes are intended to make life easier, but logging into individual devices is often still an onerous task. Researchers from ETH Zurich have investigated how everyday routines could be used for secure and user-friendly authentication – with no need for cumbersome passwords.
Towards comfortable, interactive and zero-carbon buildings
TechTransfer
EPFL
In the future, buildings will provide enhanced, more personalized comfort to occupants while also achieving zero carbon emissions. This will be possible thanks to advances in sensors and AI, enabling new ways of interacting with our environments while leaving ultimate control in occupants’ hands. Yet, as users, we’ll also need to make lasting changes to our habits.
