Imaging at the next level
Their names are Marianne Liebi Adrian Wanner. Two young researchers who make the nanostructure of macroscopic samples, such as bones or brain tissue, visible in three dimensions using high-resolution images. They achieve this using measurement data obtained with X-rays at the Swiss Light Source at PSI, which is then processed and used for imaging.

Soils are the most species-rich habitats on earth
Soil is the most species-rich habitat on earth. This is the conclusion of an overview study by a Swiss research team. According to the study, two thirds of all known species live in the soil. Fungi are the group with the most soil-dwelling species, namely about 86 percent, followed by plants with their roots.

The colourful growth pattern informs about when the glowing bacteria exchange genetic material with each other.

How antibiotic resistance spreads in bacterial colonies
The number of microbes that acquire antibiotic resistance depends on the time at which the antibiotic is added. This is a conclusion reached by a research group at Eawag on the basis of experiments with genetically modified bacteria that glow in different colours when they exchange genetic information.

In the movie „Inception“, ideas are planted in a victim’s head while they are dreaming (the picture shows the spinning top used to tell dreams from reality). Researchers at ETH have now managed to launch a computer attack that works in a similar way. (Image: Adobe Stock)
Planting ideas in a computer’s head
Researchers at ETH Zurich have found a new attack on AMD computer chips in which the attacker plants an “idea” in the computer without it noticing. Using that attack, it was possible to leak data from anywhere in the computer’s memory.
