- MeteoSwiss watches the skies in 3D
- MeteoSwiss, the Switzerland's National Weather service, is using a new system to build 3D maps of Swiss skies. This LIDAR Light Detection and Ranging weather measurement system has been developed at the Lausanne-based Federal Institute of Technology EPFL. According to EPFL, this new system will be able to provide real-time...

- A super-resolution x-ray microscope
- Swiss researchers have developed a very-high-resolution x-ray microscope. Their approach combines two well-known microscopy techniques, coherent diffractive imaging CDI and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy STXM. As a result, the new system offers both the high penetration power of x-rays and high spatial resolution. This method will allow other scientists to...

- Improving Digest-Based Collaborative Spam Detection
- Spam is usually sent in bulk. A bulk mailing consists of many copies of the same original spam message, each sent to a different recipient. The copies are usually obfuscated, i.e. modified a bit in order to look different from each other. In collaborative spam filtering it is important to...

- Ushering in a multicore future
- Ushering in a multicore futureThe Future of ComputingIf Java doesn’t respond with its own parallel computing libraries, it will only help accelerate the adoption of .Net. Let’s see what the Java community does. I get the impression that many in the Java community don’t understand that when frameworks abstract away...

- Inside a quantum dot
- Until now, physicists who wanted to understand how electrons behaved at the nanoscale needed to choose between instruments which had good spatial resolution down to tens of nanometers or below or fast time resolution down to picoseconds, but not both. But researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL...

- From Intel's labs: Virus hunters and power savers
- From Intel's labs: Virus hunters and power saversNeat ConceptThis is a step in the right direction, if a machine can disable itself from the network if it is infected, then that substantially decreases the number of attacks proliferating around the local and global network. My only concern would be...

- Using Bluetooth to Control a YaMoR Modular Robot
- The Biologically Inspired Robotics Group BIRG of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne EPFL is working on modular robotics. Computer simulations are mainly used but prototypes also exist. Most of them are controlled by a wired connection. This paper explains how the wires can be replaced by a...
