Description: Scientists at a lab near Zurich are investigating why a bridge collapsed in Genoa in August, killing 43 people.

Scientists at a specialist lab in Switzerland are trying to determine why a bridge collapsed in the Italian port of Genoa in August this year, killing 43 people. The Federal Laboratory for Materials Science and Technology, Empa, is studying parts of the Morandi motorway bridge.

In the past, the laboratory has investigated other cases of infrastructure weaknesses, such as the Uster indoor swimming pool in 1985 or the collapse of the gymnasium roof at the St Gallen professional school in 2009.

Italian prosecutors have focused their investigation on possible design flaws or inadequate maintenance of the bridge that opened in 1967. The Swiss have yet to give their opinion, but international experts have weighed in, saying that the structure may have suffered wear and tear from weather and pollution, and traffic that surpassed what t...

Description: Mouldy slides captured in the 80s at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva and left to rot have been made into artwork.

Mouldy slides captured in the 1980s at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva and left to rot, have been made into artwork. The slides were mostly copies of negatives dating from the time of the Large Electron-Positron Collider, and now form part of an exhibition in Geneva.

They were discovered in an old set of drawers, after CERN decided to digitalise some 450,000 photographs. After 30 years of slow degradation, the bacteria growing on the slides had slowly eaten away at the gelatine on the surface. Colours and shapes in the original images have been altered in a chaotic way, while the underlying framework of the original photography has kept its design.

Jean-Yves Le Meur, head of CERN's Digital Memory Project, told Swiss Public Television, RTS, "After cleaning and screening them, we realised that they were be...

Swiss Public Television, RTS, was recently given the rare chance to go behind the scenes at Greubel Forsey in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a company that specialises in designing and manufacturing high-end watches. Company co-founder Stephen Forsey explains the intricate details of his timepieces.

The watches generally have multiple tourbillons and inclined balance wheels that make the timepieces extra expensive. The company employs more than one hundred people, with the majority in the hand-finishing department. All this attention to detail comes at a price, of course. The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision introduced in 2015 cost under CHF300,000 ($298,300). But the timepiece featured in this report costs more than CHF1 million.
