Autonomous excavator constructs a six-metre-high dry-stone wall TechTransfer ETH Zurich ETH Zurich researchers taught an autonomous excavator to construct dry stone walls itself using boulders weighing several tonnes and demolition debris. New technology can collect CO2 from a truck's exhaust pipe TechTransfer EPFL EPFL spin-off Qaptis has developed a system that can cut freight trucks’ carbon emissions by up to 90%. The company just installed a prototype of its technology at a freight carrier based in Tolochenaz in order to conduct pilot tests locally. Printed robots with bones, ligaments, and tendons Research ETH Zurich For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique. 3D printed reactor core makes solar fuel production more efficient Research ETH Zurich Using a new 3D printing technique, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed special ceramic structures for a solar reactor. Initial experimental testing show that these structures can boost the production yield of solar fuels. Better batteries for electric cars Research PSI PSI researchers are using neutrons to make changes in battery electrolytes visible. The analysis enables better understanding of the physical and chemical processes and could aid in development of batteries with better characteristics. The results have now been published in Science Advances. Making a femtosecond laser out of glass Research EPFL EPFL scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one’s hand using a glass substrate.
