Human impact on fish habitats detected with AI

Environment - Oct 24
Environment

Large parts of the potential habitats of freshwater fish in Switzerland are negatively affected by human activities. Researchers at the University of Bern have shown this in a new study using explainable artificial intelligence methods. Measures to protect biodiversity and potential fish habitats will be developed based on the study.

Researchers from the University of Bern involved in NASA mission

Astronomy & Space

NASA's Europa Clipper was launched on October 14, 2024, on its mission to conduct a detailed study of Jupiter's moon Europa. It will determine if the icy moon currently has habitable conditions. Four researchers from the University of Bern are members of the scientific teams for the mission cameras, the Europa Imaging System (EIS), and the mass spectrometer MASPEX on board the spacecraft.

New test improves diagnosis of allergies

Health

Researchers at the University of Bern and Bern University Hospital have developed a test to simplify the diagnosis of allergies. Its effectiveness has now been confirmed in clinical samples from children and adolescents suffering from a peanut allergy. The results could fundamentally improve the clinical diagnosis of allergies in future.

A sub-Earth detected around our neighbouring star Barnard

Astronomy & Space

A team of scientists including researchers from the University of Bern, the University of Geneva and the NCCR PlanetS used the ESPRESSO Spectrograph to discover a sub-Earth mass exoplanet orbiting Barnard's star, the second-closest star system to the Sun. This discovery helps to understand planetary formation around red dwarfs and provides insights into the diversity of planetary systems in our cosmic neighbourhood.

The University of Bern names carbon reduction and innovation as the focal points of its climate strategy

The University of Bern is revising its climate strategy. Instead of aiming for nominal climate neutrality by 2025 by purchasing a large number of carbon offset certificates, the University of Bern is, in a participatory process, working on a long-term Climate Neutrality 2030 Roadmap which increasingly focuses on carbon reduction measures and innovative approaches.

AI with consciousness - but pain-free?

Researchers at the University of Bern have developed a new model for the emergence of consciousness. The model suggests that one day artificial agents, i.e. systems which imitate human thought, could gain consciousness. To regulate our interaction with such systems, the researchers propose an agreement between humans and machines: the 'Human-AI Deal'.

No benefit from stents with degradable plastic coating after heart attack

Health

A recent study led by Inselspital, Bern University Hospital and the University of Bern shows that stents with a degradable polymer coating offer no long-term advantage over conventional stents. However, patients who consistently take their cholesterol-lowering medication have a lower risk of complications following stent implantation. The study thus underlines the importance of long-term drug therapy after a heart attack.
