What's at stake in high-energy particle physics
As particle physicists envision the future of their discipline, one point is clear: there's much potential for exploration and discovery beyond the Standard Model.
The Swiss underground contains numerous indications of critical raw materials
A re-evaluation of georesources data shows that there are indications of occurrences of numerous critical raw materials such as copper, rare earths elements and lithium in Switzerland. Could their exploration mining be worthwhile?
Inclusion of people with disabilities at ETH Zurich
It is the goal of ETH Zurich to treat all members of the community – with or without disabilities – in an open and inclusive manner. How can you contribute to this, and what support do we offer you??
New software simulates granular flows and avalanches
A research team led by Professor Johan Gaume and postdoctoral researcher Lars Blatny has developed a model that realistically captures how snow, sand and other granular materials behave. The accompanying open-source software “Matter” enables realistic simulations – from avalanches to industrial processes.
Discovering unexpected connections
In her work, Yilin Wang combines various subfields of mathematics and searches for simple, elegant solutions to problems. The ETH professor is motivated in her research by curiosity and an appreciation for the beauty of mathematics.?
ETH spin-off supports detection of Endometriosis
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases. The diagnosis of the sickness, however, can take years. The young ETH spin-off Scanvio wants to change that – with the help of an AI assistant.
Signal processing with light
To make high-speed data transmission via fibre optics more robust, researchers led by ETH Zurich developed a new light-based chip. They combined plasmonics with neural networks and electronics, enabling distorted signals to be corrected quickly and energy-efficiently.
Axpo becomes an industry partner of the Energy Science Center at ETH Zurich
Axpo's new partnership with the Energy Science Center at ETH Zurich strengthens cooperation between academic energy research and industrial practice as part of a shared vision for a sustainable and secure energy future.
How ETH Zurich is enabling new knowledge through research infrastructures
Investing in the creation of knowledge: From advances in medical research and sustainable construction to the development of quantum technologies, ETH Zurich demonstrates how targeted investment in cutting-edge infrastructure paves the way for groundbreaking scientific discoveries.?
New high-precision mapping visualises DNA damage
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an improved method that allows them to detect even the tiniest changes in the human genome. Their findings show that the genetic material is particularly vulnerable to damage during gene transcription.
