A new model enables accurate predictions of the flow, height, and runout of alpine mass movements such as snow, ice, and rock avalanches. The 3D simulation tool has demonstrated its high level of ...

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 ...

For decades, proprietary bibliographic databases have shaped academic visibility – often at the expense of certain regions and disciplines. This has led to a distorted view of global scholarly ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in experiments to search for signs of a new particle that could help explain the mysterious dark matter. Researchers at ETH Zurich are combining their results with ...

Urea is considered a possible key molecule in the origin of life. ETH researchers have discovered a previously unknown way in which this building block can form spontaneously on aqueous surfaces ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in solid supports as well as their spatial orientation. In the future, this ...

High temperatures and more frequent heatwaves are causing many people to doubt whether high-density urban planning is still sustainable. However, building physicist Jan Carmeliet argues that even ...

Giuseppe Antoniazzi is developing a diagnostic toolkit that gives early warning of fibrotic diseases. In doing so, this Pioneer Fellow wishes to contribute to the early detection of tissue scarring, ...

ETH start-up Immunosponge, led by Börte Emiroglu, is developing a granular hydrogel that selectively captures inflammatory signals from chronic wounds while also actively promoting healing. The ...

Christian Wolfrum has played a key role in the evolution of medical research at ETH Zurich. Now he’s taking on a new challenge in Singapore.
