Artificial muscles propel a robotic leg to walk and jump
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have developed a robotic leg with artificial muscles. Inspired by living creatures, it jumps across different terrains in an agile and energy-efficient manner.
One-way street for sound waves
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves.
Flexible tentacle electrodes precisely record brain activity
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed ultra-flexible brain probes that accurately record brain activity without causing tissue damage. This opens up new avenues for the treatment of a range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

New pharmaceutically active substances from billions of newly combined molecules
Research
ETH Zurich
Pharmaceutical researchers often find new pharmaceutically active substances only by sifting through large collections of chemical compounds. Chemists at ETH Zurich have now made critical progress on a specific process for generating and searching these collections.
Iron as an inexpensive storage medium for hydrogen
Research
ETH Zurich
