A material-keyboard made of graphene
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in turning specially prepared graphene flakes either into insulators or into superconductors by applying an electric voltage. This technique even works locally, meaning that in the same graphene flake regions with completely different physical properties can be realized side by side.
Climate action potential in waste incineration plants
Research
ETH Zurich
The climate action potential of carbon capture during the processing of biomass feedstock is considerable, ETH Zurich researchers have calculated. If this potential is to be fully exploited in practice, however, there are challenges to overcome.
ETH Zurich and PSI found Quantum Computing Hub
Research
ETH Zurich PSI
ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) establish a joint centre for the development of quantum computers. Its aim is to advance the realization of quantum computers based on both ion traps and superconducting components. ETH Zurich provides 32 million francs for this centre, which will host around 30 researchers.
Vaccination – personal values and group dynamics are decisive
Research
ETH Zurich
How do you get more people to have vaccinations? Gudela Grote firmly believes that it’s worth looking at team dynamics.
Global glacier retreat has accelerated
Research
ETH Zurich
An international research team including scientists from ETH Zurich has shown that almost all the world’s glaciers are becoming thinner and losing mass’ and that these changes are picking up pace. The team’s analysis is the most comprehensive and accurate of its kind to date.
Uncertainty in academia
Teaching
ETH Zurich
In the last episode of the Uncertainty-Series, we talk to Helga Nowotny and Eric Burns about why uncertainty in research is eminent but at the same time increases pressure on researchers regarding their position.
