The KOF Economic Barometer for May stands at 143.2 - which is 6.8 points higher than in April.
âThe slight decline that the barometer underwent in the second half of 2020 has been replaced by continuing strong increases in the spring of this year. Once again, the barometer is well above its long-term average,â experts from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) said on FridayExternal link.

AMES, Iowa - Researchers have developed new types of materials that combines two or three types of nanoparticles into structures that display fundamental new properties such as superfluorescence. The whole goal of this research is to make new materials with new properties and/or exotic new structures, said Alex Travesset, an Iowa State University professor of physics and astronomy and an associate scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy s Ames Laboratory. Those materials are made of very tiny materials, nanoparticles, and lead to properties not shared by more traditional materials made of atoms and molec
Switzerland has pulled the plug on seven long years of negotiations to upgrade its relations with Brussels, in a move that casts a shadow over the country’s participation in the EU’s €95.5 billion Horizon Europe research programme.
Both sides have spent years thrashing out an over-arching treaty to replace more than 100 bilateral agreements that have linked both sides since the early 1970s.
