      How can artificial intelligence help to combat viruses, Mr Jin?

      Being faster and more reliable than humans, artificial intelligence is usually used to evaluate huge volumes of data and identify patterns in them. But what happens when there isn’t enough data, and you have to work with uncertainties? In this case, thanks to millions of years of evolution, nature easily has the upper hand.

    • Heike Vallery

      The human gait – which usually looks intuitive and natural – is an extremely complex form of locomotion. When you are walking, you are constantly defying gravity and have to keep fine-tuning your balance. This is precisely why the upright gait is still difficult to replicate technically. Mechanical engineer Heike Vallery studies gait and balance and develops applications in hardware and control technology for the rehabilitation of people with reduced mobility.

      Cancer cells grow significantly quicker in the body than normal cells. Their metabolism thus functions differently and utilises nutrients at a much faster rate. The metabolism researcher Christian Frezza is searching for ways of disturbing or even preventing nutrient utilisation in cancer cells so that they can no long grow and eventually die.
