Moving towards low-carbon road transport
Research
PSI
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have presented a concept for decarbonising transport while keeping it economically competitive. Increasing the utilisation of carbon dioxide from biogas plants plays an important role.
A keener eye for the invisible
Research
Empa
From smart textiles to self-driving cars: Empa researchers are developing new types of detectors for infrared radiation that are more sustainable, flexible and cost-effective than conventional technologies. The key to success is not (only) the composition of the material, but also its size.
Stimulating hypothalamus restores walking in paralyzed patients
Research
EPFL
The discovery that an unexpected brain region is crucial for walking recovery in mice with spinal cord injuries has led a deep brain stimulation therapy in humans. The approach restored enough leg control in two individuals with partial spinal injuries to walk unaided and even climb stairs.
Taking off with sustainable kerosene
Research
PSI
Researchers around the world are working to find and optimise new ways of producing climate-neutral aviation fuel. At PSI, together with industry, they’re exploring a promising approach.
Record broken for the longest Hyperloop trial at EPFL
TechTransfer
EPFL
As part of the LIMITLESS project, scientists from EPFL, HEIG-VD and Swisspod have completed the longest-ever vacuum capsule journey in Europe's first operational Hyperloop test facility.
A complex promise
Research
PSI
There’s more to climate-neutral aviation than just reducing emissions during flights. A PSI study analyses what is needed to achieve this long-term goal.
