Physics-informed AI artificial intelligence for early prediabetes risk predictionprevention Predicting prediabetes risk early and acting before the condition progresses is the goal of PRAESIIDIUM, a

With the Winter Olympics just days away and the world's best athletes preparing to fight for medals, attention turns to a small but decisive factor in performance: ski and snowboard waxes. Two projects from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Technology (MEMTi), working with KV+ Sagl, ZHAW and Swiss-Ski, are racing to develop alternatives to fluorinated waxes-banned over environmental and health concerns but still considered the gold standard for speed.

The report 'Children's exposure to violence in couples', compiled by SUPSI and ZHAW on behalf of the KidsToo Foundation, has been published.

The Institute of Applied Sustainability to the Built Environment has produced "The Voice of Architecture," which explores the evolution of photovoltaics in architecture thanks to three international

From rethinking design to reducing waste and consumption in production processes, there are numerous examples and avenues to explore in order to reduce the environmental impact of plastic materials.

Often at the center of debate due to their environmental impact, polymeric materials have represented a radical change in our lives.

The book by Gian Luca Di Tanna and Robert Grant is now available, providing practical tools for analysing and summarising evidence.

A robot that detects, reaches, and disinfects contaminated surfaces in a targeted way: this is the outcome of It marks a new frontier in the sanitization of healthcare and public environments through autonomous and adaptive technologies.

The Institute of Applied Sustainability to the Built Environment SUPSI is participating in the international research project SPECIFIC.

Every body is different and every person's health is unique. The new frontier in medicine is personalization: devices, data, and algorithms work together to better prevent, predict, and treat.

An innovative project is transforming the relationship between AI, robotics, and creativity. At its core is a system that teaches a humanoid robot to play the drums - not through direct programming, , but through a simulated learning process inspired by how musicians practice and improve.

The TI Gambling survey - Gambling in Ticino was made public this morning at a press conference held at the Palazzo delle Orsoline in Bellinzona, organised by DECS in collaboration with the Advisory Commission on Pathological Gambling and SUPSI.

The City of Lugano, in collaboration with a SUPSI research team from the Dalle Molle institute for artificial intelligence studies (IDSIA USI-SUPSI), has launched a pilot project dedicated to the int

At concentrations of CO2 470 times higher than atmospheric concentrations, a soil bacterium accomplishes something extraordinary: it turns gas into stone.

A team of researchers from the Intelligent Energy Systems sector of SUPSI's Institute for Applied Sustainability in the Built Environment (ISAAC) took first place in the NASA & DNV Challenge on Optimisation Under Uncertainty 2025.

A new phase of testing is underway in the municipalities of Ascona and Losone. Following encouraging results in Morcote, the Vector Ecology Department of the SUPSI Institute of Microbiology is preparing to continue testing the sterile male technique.

To mark Global Wind Day, the Department of Territory has published a wind map of the canton of Ticino.

"Matrix First" is a new approach to the design and production of composite materials, developed for applications in the catalytic, aerospace, and energy fields-where optimizing the thermo-mechanical, chemical, and structural properties of materials is essential.

The third edition of the VECOF 2023 national report, the national survey on the attainment of basic skills among pupils in compulsory education, is now available online.
