The protein that revolutionized DNA sequencing Research EPFL DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, and today it’s a common research technique. Electric fungi Research Empa A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is exactly what Empa researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, biodegradable fungal battery. The living battery could supply power to sensors for agriculture or research in remote regions. Once the work is done, it digests itself from the inside. Glowing mushrooms: an intrigue for artists and scientists alike Research WSL Two artists from Zurich team up with a WSL mycologist to look into the newly discovered green glow of a mushroom. Bird-inspired drone can jump for take-off Research EPFL EPFL researchers have built a drone that can walk, hop, and jump into flight with the aid of birdlike legs, greatly expanding the range of potential environments accessible to unmanned aerial vehicles. World Soil Day: How earthworms “dispose” of CO2 in the soil Research WSL The Swiss soil of the year 2025 is characterized by earthworms. WSL researchers are investigating how their activity affects forest soils. CRISPR-Cas technology: balancing efficiency and safety Research ETH Zurich ETH Zurich researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the genome. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8... Next Page 1 of 34
