With the help of flexibly operated heat pumps and electric cars, Switzerland could use around 4 percent more renewable electricity with the same installed capacity in 2050. Controlled in line with ...

The chemical industry has a long tradition of producing polymers. This involves turning small molecular building blocks into long chains of molecules that bond together. Polymers are the basis of all ...

The Doctoral Ordinance defines the basic elements for doctoral studies. The details are the responsibility of the departments. Depending on the department in which you are doing your doctorate, the ...

The Student Administration teams assist students with administrative matters and provide them with advice during the course of their studies – from applying and registering right through to the moment ...

ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne (EPFL) are intensifying their collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI). They have founded the Swiss National AI Institute (SNAI) with the aim of addressing challenges ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a condenser for countries where water is in short supply. Theirs is the first zero-energy solution for harvesting water from the atmosphere throughout the ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich are using a new method for digital timber construction in a real project for the first time. The load-bearing timber modules, which are prefabricated by robots, will be ...

Ecologists are increasingly using traces of genetic material left behind by living organisms left behind in the environment, called environmental DNA (eDNA), to catalogue and monitor biodiversity.

Cell biologists at ETH Zurich describe a new organelle present in mammalian cells that is made of rings of DNA. This container could potentially play a role in autoimmune diseases, and it could help ...

ETH researchers are making chocolates shimmer in rainbow colours without the addition of colourants. They have found a way to imprint a special structure on the surface of the chocolate to create a ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new rapid test that uses bacteriophages – viruses that infect bacteria – to quickly and accurately identify the pathogens that cause urinary tract infections.

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding ...
