Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen used tensor tomography at the Swiss Light Source to reveal that the narwhal tusk contains two counter‑rotating helices of collagen and mineral crystals, giving the tooth exceptional stability. The study, published in Nature Communications, shows how nanoscale building blocks determine the macroscopic spiral shape. The work was conducted in collaboration with synchrotron facilities in Sweden and France.

ETH Zurich, EPFL and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) released Apertus 1.5, a fully open large language model trained on the Alps supercomputer. The model adds multimodal understanding, improved reasoning, and tool use support, and is available under an Apache 2.0 license for research and commercial use. The release includes a mini suite of 16 compact models and a CSCS inference service for Swiss users.

EPFL researchers built a bilayer graphene antidot that acts as a sensitive charge meter, detecting quasiparticles with charges of one‑third, two‑thirds, and other fractions of an electron in various quantum Hall states. The device revealed one‑third and two‑thirds charges at state 8/3 and confirmed predictions for states 4/3, 5/3, 7/3, 2/3, and 3/5. This simple, tunable setup offers a practical method to study topological quantum matter.

EPFL engineers have designed acoustic cavities that convert sound waves into thrust, enabling small robots and ultralight aerial vehicles without onboard actuators or electronics. They built miniature boats and microfliers using 3D printing, demonstrating sound-driven propulsion at both audible and ultrasonic frequencies. This research shows a new method for wireless actuation in robotics.

The dataset is a public-domain subset of the NASA Image and Video Library, filtered and captioned with a Qwen vision-language model. It contains 36,997 images covering spaceflight, astronomy, planetary science, Earth observation and aeronautics from NASA centers such as JPL, KSC, MSFC, JSC and GSFC. The images were sourced directly from NASA's public API and prepared by the Swiss AI Initiative vision team.
