Many chemists are currently researching how small carbon molecules, such as methane and methanol, can be used to generate larger molecules. The earth is naturally rich in methane, and artificial ...

The series “CSS Analyses in Security Policy” has been discussing current developments in foreign and security policy and their contexts in a concise format since 2006. The topics are often analyzed ...

Nina Buchmann, Professorin für Graslandwissenschaften an der ETH Zürich, wurde mit der Ehrenmitgliedschaft (Honorary ...

An international team of researchers combine orbital imagery with seismological data from NASA’s Mars InSight lander to derive a new impact rate for meteorite strikes on Mars. Seismology also offers a ...

Die Schweizerische Stiftung für den Doron-Preis hat Professorin Tanja Stadler, Leiterin der Gruppe Computational Evolution am ...

The evolution of our Earth is the story of its cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, extreme temperatures prevailed on the surface of the young Earth, and it was covered by a deep ocean of magma. Over ...

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 ...

A new textile sensor measures body movements very precisely without the need for electronic components such as batteries or chips. Integrated into work and sports clothing, the sensor can predict in ...

A new type of ultra-flexible brain probe enables precise recording of individual brain-cell activity over extended periods of time. The electrodes resemble tentacles and consist of ultra-thin fibres ...

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.

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 ...

Fifteen months after the successful landing of the NASA InSight mission on Mars, first scientific analyses of ETH Zurich researchers and their partners reveal that the planet is seismically active.
