How to detect extremely faint magnetic fields?
Physicists at the University of Basel have developed a minuscule instrument able to detect extremely faint magnetic fields. At the heart of the superconducting…
Secrets of high-energy cosmic particles
The “IceCube” neutrino observatory deep in the ice of the South Pole has already brought spectacular new insights into cosmic incidents of extremely high…
New way to detect infrared radiation
EPFL physicists propose a new path to detect infrared radiation with outstanding sensitivity, allowing detection of signals as low as that of a single quantum…
Use of molecules in quantum computing for fewer errors
The technology behind the quantum computers of the future is fast developing, with several different approaches in progress. Many of the strategies, or "blueprints,"…
TUM spin-off starts production of launch vehicles
In the coming years, tens of thousands of small satellites will be fired into outer space worldwide. Isar Aerospace, a start-up formed at the…
Robot takes contact free measurements of patients
During the current coronavirus pandemic, one of the riskiest parts of a health care worker’s job is assessing people who have symptoms of Covid-19.…
Partnership to accelerate the development of quantum computers
Early this year, the U.S. Department of Energy sent out a call for proposals as it announced it would award up to $625 million in funding…
How to use sound in high-resolution imagery
By combining purpose-built materials and neural networks, researchers at EPFL have shown that sound can be used in high-resolution imagery. Imaging allows us to…
Electron spin for manipulating an electrical current
Researchers at the University of Basel in collaboration with colleagues from Pisa have developed a new concept that uses the electron spin to switch…
