Hear from Eva Zabey, CEO of Business for Nature, as we dive into the complex landscape of environmental diplomacy, and the role of business in halting and reversing biodiversity loss. We know that our economies depend on nature. But with biodiversity loss and climate change both putting pressure on ecosystems, businesses and financial institutions are facing increasing risks. In recognition of this, there is action on the policy front, and with global biodiversity agreements taking shape, the question isn't whether firms should act – but how they can do so effectively. That's why in this episode, we dive into the role of business and finance in halting and reversing biodiversity loss, along with some practical steps firms can take to integrate nature into their strategies. We discuss: The evolving policy landscape, including key takeaways from recent biodiversity COPs; The challenges financial firms face in measuring their impacts and dependencies on nature; and The tools and frameworks that can help firms take action.

Agile in Hardware: The Future of Agile Hardware Development, A Case Study From High Power Semiconductor Industry With Milad Maleki and Markus Thut In this Agile in Hardware episode, Milad Maleki and Markus Thut of Hitachi Energy Ltd. describe the pioneering methods and challenges of Agile hardware development in high-power semiconductor manufacturing. From introducing cutting-edge RoadPak technology for Formula E racing to optimizing consumer EV solutions, they share a fresh perspective on agile practices beyond the traditional software domain. Join us as we uncover the intricacies of an iterative approach to hardware design, production integration, and actionable insights for advancing Agile principles in complex hardware manufacturing. The RoadPak Project: Pioneering eMobility Innovation Milad and Markus kick off the discussion with the story behind the RoadPak project, a powerful technology supporting electric mobility and racing industries, including Formula E and Formula 1. Developed initially as a small-scale prototype, RoadPak has since evolved into a versatile solution with wide-reaching applications in consumer electric vehicles and fast-charging stations. “From racing to consumer EVs, RoadPak's journey showcases the transformative potential of scaling innovation from concept to consumer solutions.” Redefining Agile in Hardware: An Iterative Revolution Unlike traditional hardware development's linear approach, the team adopted an Agile model to adapt and evolve both the product and its manufacturing processes at the same time. By designing the production line in tandem with the product, they created a collaborative environment where feedback directly informed product design and production line adjustments. “In Agile hardware, the manufacturing process becomes part of the product itself—a continual feedback loop between design, production, and customer needs.” Iterative Sample Development: The A, B, C, and D Samples Milad and Markus discuss the use of progressive sample iterations (A, B, C, and D) to refine RoadPak's development. But, within each of the sample phases, they iterated quickly, for example having samples from A1, A2, A2b, etc. This approach provided invaluable insights, allowing for cost-effective tools and small-scale prototypes that rapidly incorporated feedback from customers and the production line. “Every iteration helped us with fast and impactful learning cycles which refined both product design and manufacturing. Proving that fast feedback is crucial—even in hardware.” Customer Feedback and Early Prototyping: Shortening the Feedback Loop To ensure RoadPak met real-world requirements, the team engaged customers early and often. They relied on simulation, rapid prototyping, and laser-cut parts to accelerate the feedback process. A specialized “evaluation kit” enabled customers to test the component in their own environments, exemplifying how quick delivery - even in hardware projects - can significantly speed up product development. “Early customer feedback is critical; our evaluation kit bridged the gap, turning theoretical design into practical functionality for real-world testing.” Integrated Development: Product and Manufacturing as Partners This episode emphasizes the unique challenges of developing the product and manufacturing process concurrently. By focusing on early quality control and optimizing the process on-site, they achieved higher yield and product reliability, setting the foundation for scalable, high-quality production. “For any new product, designing the manufacturing process alongside the product itself isn't optional—it's essential for quick feedback, and long-term success and quality.” Key Success Factors in Agile Hardware Development Markus and Milad highlight the importance of cross-functional teams, communication, and focus on dedicated resources. By streamlining their team's goals and processes, they maintained agility and clarity in the development cycle. This episode wraps up with tips and resources for those looking to apply Agile principles to hardware, emphasizing the value of flexible, collaborative workflows. “Focus and communication drive success in Agile hardware; with the right team alignment, you're equipped to adapt quickly and effectively.” Recommended Resources Milad and Markus suggest practical resources to deepen listeners' understanding of Agile in hardware. The book Scrum Essentials: Agile Software Development and Agile Project Management for Project Managers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Stakeholders by Troy Dimes serves as an adaptable foundation. “Books and frameworks are starting points, but adapting Agile to hardware means integrating experimentation as a core part of the process.” About Markus Thut and Milad Maleki Markus Thut is a lead engineer at Hitachi Energy Ltd.'s semiconductor production in Lenzburg, Switzerland, specializing in high-power semiconductors and eMobility innovations.

Alors que les ordinateurs quantiques promettent de surpasser les capacités des machines actuelles, leur développement s'accompagne de défis techniques inédits. L'un des plus cruciaux est le refroidissement des puces quantiques, qui doivent être maintenues à des températures extrêmement basses pour fonctionner correctement. Les qubits, ou bits quantiques, sont extrêmement sensibles aux perturbations thermiques. La moindre vibration thermique peut altérer leur état, provoquant des erreurs de calcul. Pour garantir un fonctionnement fiable, ces ordinateurs doivent être maintenus à des températures proches du zéro absolu, soit -273,15 degrés Celsius.Une équipe de l'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) a relevé ce défi en développant un nouveau système de refroidissement innovant. Leur dispositif capture la chaleur produite par les composants du processeur quantique et la convertit en électricité. Cette approche ingénieuse permet de refroidir le processeur de manière très efficace tout en récupérant de l'énergie. De plus, le système est basé sur des composants existants, facilitant ainsi sa réplication. Il est aussi efficace que les systèmes de refroidissement des ordinateurs traditionnels.Grâce à cette solution, les chercheurs ont atteint la température exceptionnelle de 0,1 kelvin, soit environ -273 degrés Celsius. En comparaison, l'espace apparaît plus chaud, baignant dans un rayonnement cosmologique de 2,7 kelvins (-270,45 degrés Celsius). « Nous sommes les premiers à créer un dispositif dont l'efficacité de conversion correspond à celle des technologies actuelles, mais qui fonctionne à des champs magnétiques faibles et à des températures très basses, ce qui est nécessaire pour les systèmes quantiques. Ce travail constitue une véritable avancée », a déclaré le chercheur Gabriele Pasquale. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Most people with COVID-19 make a full recovery within 12 weeks, but some patients have experienced ongoing symptoms for much longer. This has become known as ‘long COVID'. However, new research suggests that the rates of ongoing symptoms and functional impairment after COVID are indistinguishable from other post-viral illnesses, and that long COVID may have appeared to be a distinct and severe illness because of high volumes of COVID-19 cases during the pandemic. Presenter Claudia Hammond is joined in the studio by BBC Health reporter Philippa Roxby to discuss the findings. If long COVID is not unique, could this new spotlight encourage research that would help sufferers of other post-viral conditions? The use of heart pacemakers have become a standard procedure in many countries. Pacemakers are small electrical devices implanted in the chest that send electrical pulses to the heart to keep it beating regularly and not too slowly. The devices can be lifesaving for some people. But devices can malfunction, there can be problems with leads and the batteries in them don't last forever. Over half of all pacemaker patients live long enough to require a battery replacement operation, which carries a risk of serious complications including life-threatening infection. This can have big cost implications for health systems and devastating consequences for patients. Reporter Hannah Fisher attends one of these operations to find out more. An initiative to make the right to abortion part of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights has been introduced to the European Parliament. This comes on the heels of France making abortion a constitutional right earlier this month, in stark contrast to the removal of abortion as a constitutional right in the USA in 2022. We assess the initiative's chances of success and discuss the ripple effect of US politics on abortion rights across the rest of the world.Amputees who use prosthetic limbs have to get used to the fact that they do not experience the sensations that they were previously used to. But now researchers in Italy and Switzerland have developed a temperature-sensitive robotic hand that allows amputees to discriminate between objects of different temperatures and sense bodily contact with other humans. Solaiman Shokur of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne tells Claudia how it works. And Philippa brings the story of Paul Alexander, a polio survivor who spent most of his life inside an iron lung. An iron lung is a metal cylinder enclosing the body up to the neck, with bellows to force the lungs to inflate and deflate. The device has been obsolete since the 1960s, but he continued to use his until he died recently. 72 years after Paul contracted polio, we look at how the disease has nearly been eradicated worldwide.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay interviews Magalí Lingenfelder from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland about her group's discovery of the switching mechanism behind H-bond-linked two-dimensional networks. The hydrogen bonding ability was tuned by comparing carboxylates to aldehydes. Lingenfelder's group found that the ability of the structure to switch between an open structure to a close-packed one is governed by a synergistic combination of energetic contributions from both the adsorbate/adsorbate and absorbate/substrate interactions. This work was published in a recent issue of ACS Nano.

Endoscopy of a living cell on the nanoscale Transcript of this podcast Hello and welcome to the NanoLSI podcast. Thank you for joining us today. In this episode we feature the latest research by Takeshi Fukuma at the Kanazawa University NanoLSI. The research described in this podcast was published in Science Advances in December 2021 Kanazawa University NanoLSI websitehttps://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/Endoscopy of a living cell on the nanoscaleResearchers at Kanazawa University report in Science Advances a new technique for visualizing the inside of a biological cell. The method is an extension of atomic force microscopy and offers the promise of studying nanoscale inner cell dynamics at high resolution in a non-destructive way.In order to advance our understanding of how biological cells function, visualizing the dynamics of intra-cellular components on the nanoscale is of key importance.  Current techniques for imaging such dynamics are not optimal — for example, fluorescence microscopy can visualize ‘labeled' molecules but not the target components themselves.  Now Takeshi Fukuma from Kanazawa University and his colleagues have developed a label-free, non-destructive nanoimaging method, which they call nanoendoscopy-AFM – it's a version of atomic-force microscopy that can be deployed within a living cell.  The research was carried out as a collaboration between Kanazawa University and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), with Marcos Penedo, the lead author of the publication reporting the new method, recently moving from Kanazawa University's Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) to the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland.So what is AFM in the first place?The principle of AFM – or atomic force microscopy ti give its full title - is to have a very small tip move over the surface of a sample.  During this ‘xy' scanning motion, the tip, attached to a small cantilever, will follow the sample's height, that is, the (‘z') dimension or profile, producing a measurable force on the cantilever.  The magnitude of the force can be back-converted into a height value; the resulting height map provides structural information about the sample's surface.The researchers designed a novel AFM setup where the needle-like tip is brought in and out of the interior of a cell.  The process is reminiscent of an endoscopy — the procedure of looking at an organ from the inside, by inserting a small camera attached to a thin tube into the body — which is why Fukuma and colleagues call their technique nanoendoscopy-AFM.  Letting the nanoneedle travel in an ‘xyz' trajectory, and going in and out of the cell results in a 3D map of its structure.  They tested the technique on a cell from the so-called HeLa cell line commonly used in medical research, and could clearly identify internal granular structures in a scanned volume of 10 x 10 x 6 µm3.But how does the cell fare under this kind of interrogation?During a scan, the nanoneedle penetrates the cell membrane (and the nuclear membrane) many times.  The scientists checked whether this repeated penetration causes any damage to the cell.  They performed a viability test on HeLa cells by using two fluorescent marker molecules.  One molecule emits green fluorescence from a living cell, the other red fluorescence from (the nucleus of) a dead cell.  The researchers found that when using nanoprobes smaller than 200 nm, nanoendoscopy-AFM does not severely damage cells.The method is also particularly useful for probing surfaces within the cell, for example the inner side of the cell membrane or the surface of the cell nucleus.  Fukuma and colleagues call this application 2D NanoLSI Podcast website

Innovation technologique Liliane Bettencourt (2022-2023) - Lydéric BocquetCollège de FranceAnnée 2022-2023Colloque - La nanofluidique à la croisée des chemins : Nanofluidics: Exploring New FrontiersIn this talk, I will introduce a novel method based on liquid-activated quantum emission from native hBN defects for nanofluidic sensing. Liquids confined down to the atomic scale can show radically new properties. However, only indirect and ensemble measurements operate in such extreme confinement, calling for novel optical approaches enabling direct imaging at the molecular level. Using our method, we harness quantum emission originating from native defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) for molecular imaging and sensing in nanometrically confined liquids. We show that defect activation occurs through chemisorption of organic solvent molecules, revealing single-molecule dynamics at the interface through spatially correlated activation of neighboring defects. Defect emission spectra further offer a direct readout of local dielectric properties, unveiling increasing dielectric order under nanometer-scale confinement. Liquid-activated native hBN defects bridge the gap between solid-state nanophotonics and nanofluidics, opening new avenues for nanoscale sensing and optofluidics.Liquid-activated quantum emission from native hBN defects for nanofluidic sensingRonceray N., You Y., Glushkov E., Lihter M., Rehl B., Chen T-H., Nam G-H., Watanabe K., Taniguchi T., Roke S., Keerthi A., Comtet J., Radha B. et Radenovic A., Liquid-activated quantum emission from native hBN defects for nanofluidic sensing, 2022.Aleksandra RadenovicProf. Aleksandra Radenovic is a full professor of biological engineering at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) She serves as the Head of the Laboratory of Nanoscale Biology and is a renowned expert in the field of single-molecule biophysics.

Circulating of fluid through woven into a garment was used successfully during the Apollo moon landings to regulate the astronauts' body temperature. A new development by researchers at Switzerland-based École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has resulted in miniature tube pumps in the form of fibers that allow high-pressure fluidic circuits to be woven into textiles without an external pump. Pressure and flow are created by electrohydrodynamics, propelling ions in a special dielectric fluid. No external mechanical pump is needed, so the system could be used to create advanced devices for simulation, or potentially as an assistive exoskeleton. * * *Want to watch this podcast as a video?

Alors que l'Union Européenne fait tout pour imposer la norme USB-C sur les téléphones et chargeurs, un étudiant suisse en robotique est parvenu à modifier le port de charge d'un iPhone X pour le convertir en USB-C... prototype qu'il a ensuite vendu sur en ligne, récoltant la très jolie somme de 75 000€.Ken Pillonel, c'est le nom de cet étudiant en master à l'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Suisse), s'est lancé un défi il y a plusieurs mois : percer les secrets des téléphones d'Apple pour ensuite remplacer le port Lightning (propre aux iPhones) par de l'USB-C (port commun aux smartphones Android). Après de nombreux essais, Pillonel y est enfin parvenu le mois dernier. Et il y a moins d'une semaine, le jeune homme a tout simplement vendu sa création sur eBay pour 80 000 dollars, soit 75.000 euros. Au total, plus de 116 internautes se sont lancés dans une bataille acharnée pour s'offrir ce produit, présenté comme "le premier iPhone USB-C au monde".Concrètement, comment a-t-il réussi à modifier le port de charge d'un iPhone ? C'est vrai, il s'agit quand même d'un sacré défi technique. Dans une vidéo postée sur sa chaîne Youtube Ken Pillonel explique qu'il a dû opérer des techniques de rétro-ingénierie sur le connecteur d'Apple, puis fabriquer un circuit imprimé doté d'un port USB-C. Si pour l'instant l'appareil semble fonctionner, il n'est pas impossible qu'Apple détecte l'anomalie et bloque son fonctionnement.Malgré cette prouesse, l'heureux acquéreur de cet iPhone unique devra suivre quelques instructions pour éviter que son téléphone ne devienne inutilisable. D'après la page eBay du produit, l'acheteur ne devra en aucun cas effectuer la moindre mise à jour logicielle, ni utiliser le mobile au quotidien. Dans ce cas, à quoi cela va-t-il bien pouvoir servir ? Et bien… pas à grand-chose, si ce n'est être un objet de collection. D'ailleurs, si Ken Pillonel est le premier à équiper un iPhone d'un port USB-C, il n'est peut-être pas le dernier, puisque si Apple souhaite continuer de vendre ses produits en Europe, la marque à la pomme devra intégrer cette connectique au plus tard en 2024 comme l'exige Commission européenne avec l'instauration d'un chargeur universel. Si Apple a intégré le port Lightning il y a 10 ans désormais pour faciliter les connexions avec une tête d'adaptateur capable de se brancher dans les deux sens, l'USB-C bénéficie lui aussi de cette facilité d'utilisation, tout en étant plus performant en vitesse de charge. Reste désormais à savoir quand les premiers iPhones officiels USB-C débarqueront en France. Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

Concrete blocks are the foundations of the modern world but they could be greener. Tom Heap meets Colin Hills and his team turning waste dust and carbon dioxide into building materials. Professor Hills of the University of Greenwich has developed a technique that mimics natural processes, using carbon dioxide as a glue to form stone aggregates from waste dust left behind by heavy industry. The spin-off company, Carbon 8 Systems, has compressed the process into a shipping container and now makes building materials in the UK and France with this clever carbon-munching technique. Colin's colleague, Nimisha Tripathi wants to adapt the system for the developing world, choosing waste from her native India- things like pistachio shells and banana skin- to make a tailored range of building products relevant to the region in which they're made. Tamsin Edwards of King's College London joins Tom to consider just how much carbon dioxide we can remove from the atmosphere by developing this new generation of bricks and mortar. Producer: Alasdair Cross Series Researcher: Sarah Goodman Produced in association with the Royal Geographical Society.

David Cohen est né à Nice, dans les Alpes Maritimes et il arbore des origines "pied-noir" et bretonnes. Petit, sa proximité avec la Méditerranée et la présence d'un papa douanier dans les garde-côtes, l'incitaient à devenir marin, mais c'est en Éducation qu'il est entré, en devenant assistant d'éducation, puis enseignant vacataire, contractuel, maître auxiliaire et enfin, en 2007, en décrochant son CAPES d'arts plastiques. David est un passionné de dessin et il s'exprime exclusivement sur iPad en produisant des illustrations ou de la Bande Dessinée. Il aime particulièrement partager ses réflexions en les traduisant visuellement. Ce cheminement l'a conduit à produire les P'tits Fascicules dont il nous parlera un peu plus tard. Son parcours est très singulier, car son attirance pour les usages numériques dans son champ disciplinaire l'ont progressivement conduit d'abord à expérimenter, puis à rejoindre Canopé. Fort de cette expérience, il s'est décidé à quitter la France pour le Maroc, dans un premier temps et aujourd'hui c'est en Suisse , qu'il se rend chaque jour pour rejoindre le centre LEARN de l'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne tout en vivant côté français, sur les bords du lac Léman.

Rektor Univerze v Novi Gorici, prof.dr. Danilo Zavrtanik, pripoveduje o prvotni ideji ustanovitve zametkov slovenske tehniške univerze - podobno kot MIT, ETH Zürich ali École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne npr. - ki jo je skupina na Inštitutu Jožef Stefan zasnovala v času njegovega direktorovanja med 1992-1996. V Ljubljano se je kmalu po ustanovitvi nove države vrnil iz CERN-a, kjer je bil vodja tamkajšne skupine slovenskih raziskovalcev. Zagon prvotne ideje se je krhal počasi in vztrajno ob čereh zaprtosti takratnega slovenskega akademskega okolja univerze. Slednja je zaradi specifičnega povojnega razvoja razmerja do raziskovalnih inštitutov, države kot ustanoviteljice obeh in gospodarstva vztrajala na tej poti tudi po ustanovitvi tedaj upanja polne, novoustanovljene države l.1991. Najprej sta IJS in občina Nova Gorica, župan je bil Črtomir Špacapan, l.1995 ustanovila podiplomsko Fakulteto za znanosti o okolju, l.1998 ji je sledilo 7 let Politehnike Nova Gorica, od l. 2006 pa gre za naziv Univerza v Novi Gorici. Kakšno je njeno mesto v tukajšnem akademskem okolju, kako njeno raziskovalno odličnost ocenjujejo v mednarodnem okolju, in kako pri nas, in še kaj v pogovoru z rektorjem.

Eventually, we will all face the challenges that come with old age. We will have less strength and energy than we once had. But what if it were possible to rekindle the drive and physical endurance of youth as we grow older? Prof. Johan Auwerx directs the Laboratory for Integrated and Systems Physiology at École Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he studies the mechanisms that control how metabolisms are controlled and the factors that make them more or less effective. Focussing on longevity, his team is using multiple animal species to test a specific compound, Urolithin A, which could potentially restore much-needed muscle strength and energy to people as they age. Prof. Auwerx’s peer-reviewed research, including joint studies with the Swiss life science company, Amazentis, has been published in leading scientific journals. In this LLAMA podcast interview, with Peter Bowes, Prof. Auwerx, discusses the critical need for an affordable solution to ensuring a long and healthy life; how a highly pure form of Urolithin A, known as Mitopure, could be the key to improving our cellular health and strength as we age; and the simple steps we can take to mitigate health issues later in life.This episode is produced in association with Amazentis, which is pioneering cutting edge, clinically validated cellular nutrition, under its Timeline brand.Disclosure: Prof. Auwerx is a scientific adviser to Amazentis and several other companies which make products to boost mitochondrial function. Learn more about the science behind Mitopure, a highly pure form of Urolithin A, from Timeline.Full show notes at the Live Long and Master Aging website.In this interview we cover: The downside of a more sedentary life, either enforced by COVID-19, or as a function of growing old.Why each person’s metabolism functions differently and what this means for our diet.Making the transition from treating patients to medical research.Tackling the big questions regarding metabolic diseases and complex interactions of the human body and the environment.

We associate getting older with a loss of energy. On the molecular level, this is quite literally true, because one of the hallmarks of aging is mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are often referred to as “the powerhouse of the cell,” because they convert nutrients from the food we eat into usable energy, in the form of ATP. But as we age, mitochondria become less effective at generating the energy we need for various chemical processes. So why does this happen? As with most things in biology, there are definitely multiple factors at work here. But one likely reason is a failure of quality control. As we age, mitochondrial autophagy (aka mitophagy) declines, and our body starts to accumulate broken and dysfunctional mitochondria. This becomes most obvious in tissues that consume a lot of energy, like skeletal muscle. Hence, mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to poor muscular strength in older people. If we could find a way to ramp up mitophagy, perhaps we could retain excellent mitochondrial function throughout our golden years. In this episode of humanOS Radio, Dan welcomes Dr. Davide D'Amico to the show. Davide is a research scientist in the field of metabolism and aging. He was previously a post-doc at the Auwerx Laboratory of Integrative Systems Physiology at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he investigated the role of mitochondrial function in health, disease, and the aging process. In this interview, we discuss a recently published study from his team, which revealed one of the molecular mechanisms through which defective mitochondria accumulate in cells. Additionally, Davide is a scientific project manager at Amazentis, where he is investigating a naturally derived bioactive from pomegranate, that has been shown in a new clinical trial to reverse age-related decline in mitochondrial function in the muscles of older people. Please check out the interview to learn more about this exciting research!

Hi World. This is the first interview I conducted for my new Show. It was a pleasure to be able to interview an old friend from my time at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne https://www.epfl.ch/en/home/). We met playing Basketball and have lost contact after I moved back to Basel and Denmark. Thanks to LinkedIN have we reconnected a few years back and when Martin co-founded his Innovation consultancy did we start talking about innovation and what happened in our lives. I am very happy that he agreed to help me get the Podcast Show started by answering my questions. We talk about innovation, start-up, procrastination and how to get over it, creativity and his passion for medieval martial arts.

Durant les vingt dernières années, l’Internet et ses services se sont développés sans véritablement tenir compte de la dimension temporelle. Il nous donne aujourd’hui à voir un «Grand maintenant», infiniment dense et continuellement mis à jour. Les Big Data nous promettent une société où nous pourrions anticiper l’avenir, grâce à la puissance de calcul des superordinateurs et la collecte massive de données. Pourtant, à ne scruter que les palpitations du présent, la prédiction algorithmique marque déjà ses limites intrinsèques. L’Europe est aujourd’hui la mieux placée pour réussir le virage spatio-temporel de l’Internet. La richesse de son passé est un de ses meilleurs atouts pour son futur. Il y a des kilomètres d’archives à traiter, des milliards de pages à transcrire, des centaines de villes à modéliser comme autant de nœuds d’un vaste réseau d’échanges constituant notre histoire commune. Le projet Time Machine, en compétition dans la course pour les nouveaux FET Flagships, propose une infrastructure d’archivage et de calcul unique pour structurer, analyser et modéliser les données du passé, les réaligner sur le présent et permettre de se projeter vers l’avenir. Il est soutenu par 80 institutions provenant de 20 pays et par 14 programmes internationaux. Diplômé de l’École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Frédéric Kaplan est professeur à la chaire de Digital Humanities à l’École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne et dirige le Digital Humanities Lab (DHLAB).

Nikki Vercauteren erforscht an der Freien Universität Berlin die mehrskalige Analyse von atmosphärischen Prozessen und traf sich mit Sebastian Ritterbusch in der Urania Berlin, um über ihre Forschung und ihre Experimente auf Gletschern zu sprechen. Zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme fand in der Urania das Banff Mountain Film Festival, des Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity aus Kanada, statt. Auf dem Campus des Banff Centre befindet sich auch die Banff International Research Station (BIRS), ein Forschungsinstitut und Tagungsort nach Vorbild des Mathematischen Forschungsinstituts Oberwolfach, das sich der mathematischen Forschung und internationalen Zusammenarbeit verschrieben hat, und welches Nikki Vercauteren Anfang des Jahres zu einem Workshop besuchen konnte. Das Forschungsgebiet der Meteorologie umfasst viele Phänomene, von denen einige durch Fluiddynamik beschrieben werden können. Dabei geht es um eine große Menge von Skalen, von der globalen Perspektive, über kontinentale Skalen zur Mesoskala im Wetterbericht und der Mikroskala zu lokalen Phänomenen. Die Skalen bilden sich auch in den Berechnungsmodellen für die Wettervorhersage wieder. Das Europäische Zentrum für mittelfristige Wettervorhersage (EZMW) betrachtet die globale Perspektive mit Hilfe von Ensemblevorhersagen. Von dort verfeinert das aus dem lokalen Modell des Deutschen Wetterdienstes (DWD) entstandene COSMO Modell die Vorhersage auf die europäische und schließlich nationale Ebenen. Hier geht es um die sehr lokale Analyse von Windgeschwindigkeiten, die bis zu 20mal pro Sekunde gemessen werden und damit die Analyse von lokalen Turbulenzen bis zum natürlichem Infraschall ermöglichen. Die Erfassung erfolgt mit Ultraschallanemometer bzw. ultrasonic anemometers, wo bei manchen Typen durch die Erfassung des Doppler-Effekts bewegter Staubteilchen die Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit der Luft durch mehrere Sensoren räumlich bestimmt wird. Teilweise werden auch Laser-Anemometer eingesetzt. Im Rahmen ihrer Promotion in Umweltwissenschaften an der École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) bekam Sie die Gelegenheit selbst vor Ort eine Messanlage auf einem Gletscher mit aufzubauen und in Stand zu halten. Der See- und Landwind sind typische Phänomene in der mikroskaligen Meteorologie, die Nikki Vercauteren zu ihrer Promotion am Genfersee zur Analyse von turbulenten Strömungen von Wasserdampf untersucht hat. Mit mehreren Laser-Doppler-Anemometern in einer Gitter-Aufstellung konnte sie so die Parametrisierung einer Large Eddy Simulation dadurch testen, in dem sie die im Modell angesetzte Energie in den kleinen Skalen mit den tatsächlichen Messungen vergleichen konnte. Kernpunkt der Betrachtung ist dabei das Problem des Turbulenzmodells: Als Verwirbelung in allen Skalen mit teilweise chaotischem Verhalten ist sie nicht vorhersagbar und kaum vollständig mathematisch beschreibbar. Sie spielt aber wegen der wichtigen Eigenschaften der Vermischung und Energietransfers eine elementare Rolle im Gesamtsystem. Glücklicherweise haben Turbulenzen beobachtete statistische und gemittelte Eigenschaften, die modelliert und damit im gewissen Rahmen und diesem Sinne mit Hilfe verschiedener Modelle durch identifizierte Parameter simuliert werden können. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der Betrachtung der Grenzschicht über dem Erdboden, die zum einen durch die Sonneneinstrahlung besonders durch die Aufwärmung und Abkühlung der Erdoberfläche beinflusst wird und gleichzeitig den Bereich beschreibt, wo das bewegte Fluid Luft auf die stehenden Erde reagiert. Eine meteorologische Eigenschaft der unteren Grenzschicht ist das theoretische logarithmische Windprofil, das aber bei Sonneneinstrahlung oder Nachts durch Verformung der Turbulenzen Korrekturterme erforderlich macht. In einer Temperaturinversion wird die Grenzschicht stabiler und es bildet sich weniger Turbulenz aus, wodurch sich Schadstoffe auch weniger verteilen können. In diesen Wetterlagen kann sich durch den fehlenden Luftaustausch im Stadtgebiet leichter Smog bilden. Entgegen der Theorie kann es interessanterweise trotz stabiler Schichtung zu Turbulenzen kommen: Ein Grund dafür sind Erhebungen und Senken des Bodens, die Luftpakete beeinflussen und damit lokale Turbulenzen erzeugen können. Eine besondere Fragestellung ist hier die Frage nach der Intermittenz, wann ein stabiles dynamisches System chaotisch werden kann und umgekehrt. Ein anschauliches Beispiel von Intermittenz ist das Doppelpendel, das von einem sehr stabilen Verhalten plötzlich in chaotisches Verhalten umschwenken kann und umgekehrt: Trajektorie eines DoppelpendelsCC-BY-SA 100 Miezekatzen Leider ist bisher die Intermittenz in der Wettervorhersage nicht alleine aus der Theorie zu berechnen, jedoch kann man die Richardson-Zahl bestimmen, die den Temperaturgradienten in Verhältnis zur Windscherung stellt. Dieses Verhältnis kann man auch als Verhältnis der Energieverteilung zwischen kinetischer Bewegungsenergie und potentieller Wärmeenergie sehen und daraus Schlüsse auf die zu erwartende Turbulenz ziehen. Als ein dynamisches System sollten wir ähnlich wie beim Räuber-Beute Modell eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung der Parameter erkennen. Es sollte hier aus der Theorie auch eine kritische Zahl geben, ab der Intermittenz zu erwarten ist, doch die Messungen zeigen ein anderes Ergebnis: Gerade nachts bei wenig Turbulenz entstehen Zustände, die bisher nicht aus der Theorie zu erwarten sind. Das ist ein Problem für die nächtliche Wettervorhersage. In allgemeinen Strömungssimulationen sind es oft gerade die laminaren Strömungen, die besonders gut simulierbar und vorhersagbar sind. In der Wettervorhersage sind jedoch genau diese Strömungen ein Problem, da die Annahmen von Turbulenzmodellen nicht mehr stimmen, und beispielsweise die Theorie für das logarithmische Windprofil nicht mehr erfüllt ist. Diese Erkenntnisse führen auf einen neuen Ansatz, wie kleinskalige Phänomene in der Wettervorhersage berücksichtigt werden können: Die zentrale Frage, wie die in früheren Modellen fehlende Dissipation hinzugefügt werden kann, wird abhängig von der beobachteten Intermittenz mit einem statistischen Modell als stochastischen Prozess beantwortet. Dieser Ansatz erscheint besonders erfolgsversprechend, wenn man einen (nur) statistischen Zusammenhang zwischen der Intermittenz und der erforderlichen Dissipation aus den Beobachtungen nachweisen kann. Tatsächlich konnte durch statistisches Clustering und Wavelet-Analyse erstmalig nachgewiesen werden, dass im bisher gut verstanden geglaubten so genannten stark stabilen Regime es mehrere Zustände geben kann, die sich unterschiedlich verhalten. Für die Entwicklung der Wavelet-Transformation erhielt Yves Meyer den 2017 den Abelpreis. Im Gegensatz zur Fourier-Transformation berücksichtig die Wavelet-Transformation z.B. mit dem Haar-Wavelet die von der Frequenz abhängige zeitliche Auflösung von Ereignissen. So können Ereignisse mit hohen Frequenzen zeitlich viel genauer aufgelöst werden als Ereignisse mit tiefen Frequenzen. Das von Illia Horenko vorgeschlagene FEM-BV-VARX Verfahren kann nun mit den Erkenntnissen angewendet werden, in dem die verschiedenen Regimes als stochastische Modelle berücksichtigt und durch beobachtete bzw. simulierte externe Einflüsse gesteuert werden können. Darüber hinaus konnten weitere interessante Zusammenhänge durch die Analyse festgestellt werden: So scheinen im stabilen Regime langsame Wellenphänomene über mehrere Skalen hinweg getrennt zeitliche schnelle und lokale Turbulenzen auszulösen. Andere Phänomene verlaufen mit stärkeren Übergängen zwischen den Skalen. Aus der Mathematik ist Nikki Vercauteren über die Anwendungen in der Physik, Meteorologie und Geographie nun wieder zurück in ein mathematisches Institut zurückgekehrt, um die mathematischen Verfahren weiter zu entwickeln.

Zur GPN17 des Entropia e.V. im ZKM - Zentrum für Kunst und Medien und der Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG) hat Florian Magin (@0x464d) einen Vortrag zu Automated Binary Analysis gehalten und war bereit uns auch im Podcast zu erzählen, wie er mit mathematischen Verfahren Software auf Schwachstellen analysiert. Florian studiert Informatik an der TU Darmstadt und engagiert sich im CTF-Team Wizards of Dos seiner Universität. Sein Interesse an der Computersicherheit hat ihn auch zur Firma ERNW Research geführt, wo er als Werkstudent in der IT-Sicherheitsforschung tätig ist. Wie wichtig die Suche nach Schwachstellen und deren Absicherung ist, wurde kürzlich bei der weltweiten Verbreitung der WannaCry/WannaCrypt-Schadsoftware bewusst, die die Aufmerksamkeit von einer anderen und lukrativeren Schadsoftware Adylkuzz ablenkte. Unter der Binary Analysis versteht man die quellenlose Analyse eines Programms alleine auf den Daten im Maschinencode auf einem Speichermedium. Ein erster Schritt der Analysis ist die Wandlung der Maschinensprache in Mnemonic durch einen Disassembler. Dieser Programmcode kann sich deutlich von einer ursprünglichen Quelltext des Programms unterscheiden, da der Maschinencode erzeugende Compiler eine Vielzahl von Optimierungsmöglichkeiten umsetzt, die den Ablauf und das Abbild des Programms im Maschinencode deutlich verändern können. Eine Herausforderung stellt sich inzwischen in der Größe der Programme: Während es inzwischen zahlreiche Wettbewerbe gibt, Programme unter extremen Platzbeschränkungen umzusetzen, wächst die Größe klassischer Programme stark an. Ein Maschinensprache-Befehl kann in einem Byte kodiert sein, wie früher etwa hexadezimal C9 auf dem Z80 eine Unterroutine beendet, so können in 4 Bytes Operationen wie eine Addition samt Parameter definiert sein. Die automatisierte Binäranalyse hat besonders durch die Darpa Cyber Grand Challenge im Jahr 2016 großes Interesse geweckt, wo die Teams autonome Software entwickeln sollten, die für sich alleine den CTF-Wettbewerb bestreitet. Eine Anwendung solcher automatisierten Programme ist die schnelle Überprüfung von neuer Software auf bekannte oder typische Schwachstellen oder Implementierungsfehler. Eine sehr allgemeine Methode zur Detektion von Sicherheitslücken ist das Fuzzing: Das Open Source Tool AFL modifiziert beispielsweise korrekte Eingabewerte und prüft bei welcher Modifikation das Programm vom zuvor aufgezeichneten Programmablauf abweicht und damit einen Hinweis auf eine mögliche Schwachstelle gibt. Es kann dabei idealerweise auf dem Sourcecode operieren oder auch das Programm in einem Emulator wie QEMU ausführen und analysieren. Wie schwer aber selbst Source Code zu verstehen sein kann, zeigen die Wettbewerbe International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC), zu möglichst schwer verständlichen sinnvollen Code, und der Underhanded C Contest, wo ein scheinbar sinnvoller Code für Menschen möglichst unvorhersehbare Zusatzfunktionen aufweist. Ebenso können sehr beliebte Programmiersprachen wie Python sehr unvorhersehbar reagieren, wenn man versehentlich Tabulatoren und Space vermischt, oder gleich die Programmiersprache Whitespace benutzt. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist, dass das Breitenlose Leerzeichen in neuen C++-Standards erlaubt ist, und für den Menschen ununterscheidbaren Code ermöglicht, der unterschiedliche Dinge tut. Aber auch Computer können getäuscht werden, wenn zum Vergleich unsichere Hash-Funktionen genutzt werden, wie jüngst die Shattered-Attacke auf die SHA-1 Hash zeigte. Eine automatisierte Analysemöglichkeit ist die Control Flow Graph Recovery, die beispielsweise mit IDA , radare2, binary ninja durchgeführt werden kann, um aus einer eindimensionalen Speicherdarstellung zu einem Programmnetz, wo zusammengehörige Programmblöcke miteinander vernetzt werden. Hier kann auch schon sichtbar werden, ob beschränkte Bereiche ohne Authentifikation erreicht werden können. Ein weiteres automatisierbares Verfahren ist die Datenflussanalyse, wo die Verarbeitung und Auswirkungen von Variablen und Daten im Verlauf des Programms analysiert wird. Hier kann der Verlauf von beispielsweise vertraulichen Daten kontrolliert werden. Bei einer Symbolischen Auswertung wird das Programm abstrakt mit einem Interpreter auf beliebigen variablen Daten bzw. symbolischen Ausdrücken auf allen Pfaden gleichzeitig ausgeführt. Für die Pfaderkundung benötigt man hier eine Strategie zwischen der Breitensuche und Tiefensuche, um die relevanten Teile des Ausführungsgraphen möglichst schnell abzudecken. In der automatisierten Analyse werden dabei offene Sprungmöglichkeiten zu nahezu beliebigen Adressen sehr interessant, da dies einen starken Indikator für einen Angriffsvektor liefern. Mit Return-oriented Programming kann man so bestehenden Code gezielt anspringen und für eigene Zwecke missbrauchen. Das Open-Source Framework Angr wurde von Forschern des Computer Security Lab at UC Santa Barbara entwickelt und belegte mit Shellphish auf der Darpa-Challenge den dritten Platz. Ein weiteres Open-Source Analyseframework ist Triton, welches man leicht in eigene Projekte einbinden kann. Sehr verbreitet ist auch das Framework S2E der École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Ein weiterer Finalist der Cyber Grand Challenge ist das Team CodeJitsu von der University of California at Berkeley, Cyberhaven, and Syracuse. Die Binary Analysis Platform wurde vom Team um Professor David Brumley am Cylab der Carnegie Mellon University entwickelt. Funktionale Programmiersprachen wie OCAML oder Haskell haben für den Anwendungsfall der symbolischen Auswertung ganz besondere Vorteile. Ebenso werden Programmiersprachen auch auf ihre inherente Unsicherheit im Sinne der Language based security untersucht, sowie fertige Programme versucht auch auf ihre Korrektheit zu verifizieren. Ein Tool, das dies vereinfachen soll ist der Z3 Prover. Hier kommt die Suche nach Sicherheitslücke zur Mathematik: In der formalen Darstellung einer Routine kann das Verhalten als Abbildung aus symbolischen Variablen beschrieben werden, und die Suche nach einer Lösung führt auf die entsprechenden Logik oder Optimierungsverfahren.

Podcast Notes Stephen and Parker do a live discussion on how the digital and analog side of the Super Simple Power Supply will interface with each other. MultiSim has been a huge part in simulating the power supply design. Stephen has a new blog post about the Super Simple Power Supply. Parker has the 3D layout of the Super Simple Power Supply and the FX Dev board enclosure done. He still needs to draw up the mechanical drawing to send off to the machine shop. See Figure 1 for the 3D layout. Stephen built a discrete opamp built into a standard DIP-8 package. The opamp is designed for audio applications and Stephen wants to build a guitar effect pedal with them. See Figure 2 for the board. Parker wants to try to build a discrete 555 timer inspired from Stephen's opamp. Smallest BJT Parker can find is the 2SCR523V1T2L which is a DFN style package with a physical size is 0.8mm x 0.6mm x 0.35mm. Microchip publishes USB Mass Storage Loader that allows programing PICs by dropping the .HEX file into a "thumb drive" style drive. Uses 2 MCUs. One is the bridge and programs the second MCU. Microchip changed the MPLAB logo again. Researchers at the Center for Neuroprosthetics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Parker couldn't pronounce this) developed a partially solid and partially liquid alloy made from gallium and gold. This material is flexable and bonds to silicon. This allows super flexible circuits. Blinky party balloons are the way for the future! Parker's mother owns a Lumee. It is a LED "selfie" cellphone case. Has blinky leds gone to far? There is an internet poll to vote on the new name of a $288M Arctic research vessel. Current winner of the poll is "RRS Boaty McBoatface". Never let the internet name anything. Speaking of the internet ruining things, Microsoft created a new AI called TayTweets to help improve their automated call responses. The internet turned it from an innocent teenage to a something a little more obscene in 24 hours. AI testing or social experiment?   For more info and pictures go to our blog!
