Paul Wrede, doctoral student at the professorship for biomedical imaging led by Prof. Daniel Razansky, has been awarded the 2026 Schmidt Science Fellowship. His goal is to explore how artificial cells can be developed to better communicate with the body and to understand fundamental biological processes.
A new artificial skin, developed by researchers in Pisa, features an ETH chip. This computer chip mimics the human nervous system, enabling it to reliably and rapidly detect touch. The technology could pave the way for advancements in robots, prosthetics, and wearable devices.
