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 MenstruAI, a novel device that can recognise biomarkers directly in menstrual blood. The electronic-free sensor technology does not rely on a laboratory and ...

ETH Zurich researchers are for the first time using a technology known as “piezocatalysis” to break down hazardous PFOS chemicals in water with the help of nanoparticles and ultrasound. The method has ...

ETH Zurich researchers conducted an experiment to investigate the initial steps in the formation of aerosols. Their findings are now aiding efforts to better understand and model that process – for ...

Storing hydrogen is expensive and inefficient. In a pilot plant on ETH Zurich’s Hönggerberg campus, ETH researchers are showing how this could soon change. The researchers react the hydrogen with iron ...

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 ...

Crystals have fascinated people through the ages. Who hasn’t admired the complex patterns of a snowflake at some point, or the perfectly symmetrical surfaces of a rock crystal? The magic doesn’t stop ...

Researchers equipped a trio of legged robots with measuring instruments for finding minerals on the Moon. Teamwork makes the robots both efficient and robust in the event of a failure. The scientists ...

In recent years, the night sky has filled with satellites from rapidly expanding constellations in low Earth orbit, driven by a booming space industry. While this development brings exciting ...

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 ...

Until today, dry stone wall construction has involved vast amounts of manual labour. A multidisciplinary team of ETH Zurich researchers developed a method of using an autonomous excavator to construct ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a generative artificial intelligence (AI) for developing drug molecules based on the three-dimensional surface of proteins with which the molecules are to ...
