Innosuisse and the National Science Foundation to step up cooperation Innosuisse – Swiss Innovation Promotion Agency Bern, 08.03.2021 - The practical implementation of scientific research results is of central importance for the Swiss economy and society. In order to further bolster the interaction between science and innovation, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency, have concluded an agreement on closer cooperation.
Through this agreement, the SNSF and Innosuisse are reiterating their shared understanding of the fact that the innovation chain – from basic research all the way through to novel products and services – requires coordinated and efficient funding. After all, research and innovation operate on a mutually beneficial basis: scientific findings and breakthroughs can lead to innovations, while, in turn, challenges for the economy and society inspire and drive forward science. The tasks a

The body is amazing at healing itself. However, sometimes it can overdo it. Excess scarring after abdominal and pelvic surgery within the peritoneal cavity can lead to serious complications and sometimes death. The peritoneal cavity has a protective lining containing organs within our abdomen. It also contains fluid to keep the organs lubricated. When the lining gets damaged, tissue and scarring can form, creating problems. Researchers at the University of Calgary and University of Bern, Switzerland, have discovered what s causing the excess scarring and options to try to prevent it.

Although the use of pesticides in agriculture is increasing, some farms have transitioned to organic practices and avoid applying them. But it s uncertain whether chemicals applied to land decades ago can continue to influence the soil s health after switching to organic management. Now, researchers reporting in ACS

Rice University theoretical physicists (from left) Hsin-Hua Lai, Qimiao Si and Sarah Grefe worked with experimental collaborators at Vienna University of Technology to understand topological features of a nonmagnetic Weyl-Kondo semimetal allowed it to produce a giant Hall effect in the absence of a magnetic field.

Abstract:
In a twist befitting the strange nature of quantum mechanics, physicists have discovered the Hall effect a characteristic change in the way electricity is conducted in the presence of a magnetic field in a nonmagnetic quantum material to which no magnetic field was applied.
