The core areas "Statistical Modelling", "Applied Statistics" and "Mathematical Statistics", the foundations are laid for both theoretical developments and practical applications. This knowledge is ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a lithium-ion battery made entirely of solid material: it contains neither liquids nor gels. The battery cannot ignite, even at very high temperatures, giving ...

The term “space systems” encompasses key technologies, sensors, and analysis methodologies - as well as the combination thereof - that are required for human and robotic activities in space. The ...

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 ...

In brief Fat cells store memories of obesity in their cell nucleus. These memories remain even after a weight loss programme, making it more likely for someone to put the weight back on. Researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
