Microorganisms can move in complex media, respond to the environment and self-organize. The field of nano- and microrobotics takes inspiration from nature and strives to achieve these functions in synthetic systems. However, building synthetic motors and machines ‘bottom up’ such that they can mimic biological matter and function autonomously or such that they can be controlled externally, is challenging.   more...

Emissions from the world's data centers exceed those from air travel. Even when renewable energy sources are used, a lot of waste heat is generated that heats up the environment. Consequently, energy efficiency is of paramount importance. There are three main areas of energy efficiency or Green IT: data center efficiency, computer architecture efficiency, and last but not least, algorithm efficiency.   more...
