You stop at a tea stall at the side of the road. You don’t have any cash in your pocket – but it doesn’t matter, because the tea trader has a QR code. You can scan and pay on your phone. Ten minutes later, you’re back on the
It might sound a bit like something from Ghostbusters, but hyperspectral imagery is gaining interest (and investments) in the tech industry. It’s a technique that collects and processes information across the electromagnetic spectrum, in order to obtain the spectrum for every pixel within an image. This means that materials
Imagine a microscopic robot that could spiral through the human body’s vascular system, guided by sound, and deliver life-saving medicine as it goes. Along with his colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Daniel Ahmed (Professor of Acoustic Robotics for Life Sciences and Healthcare) is working on
They’re the unsung heroes in daily life around the world – and today, we want to celebrate semiconductors. Because they deserve a little bit of attention. In simple terms, a semiconductor is a substance with particular electrical properties, through which it acts as a foundational technology for almost every type
