ETH Zurich spin-offs develop high performance batteries
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The electrification of many areas of life is leading to an increased demand for high-performance batteries. Two ETH spin-offs are making waves in this field: while BTRY develops high-performance solid-state batteries, 8inks is working on a new standard for production.
AI designs new drugs based on protein structures
Research
ETH Zurich
A new computer process developed by chemists at ETH Zurich makes it possible to generate active pharmaceutical ingredients quickly and easily based on a protein’s three-dimensional surface. The new process could revolutionise drug research.
Tropical forests can't recover naturally without fruit eating birds
Research
ETH Zurich
Natural forest regeneration is hailed as a cost-effective way to restore biodiversity and sequester carbon. However, the fragmentation of tropical forests has restricted the movement of large birds limiting their capacity to disperse seeds and restore healthy forests.
What can cities do to promote acceptance of densification?
Research
ETH Zurich
Swiss cities are more likely to accept densification when densification projects provide affordable housing and green spaces compared to densification that is implemented through reduced regulations for housing construction. By prioritizing a socio-ecological densification, extensive planning procedures and delays might be minimized.
Let Bachelor’s holders work first!
Teaching
ETH Zurich
Have you done any further professional training in the last five years? If not, then one reason is probably the education system and its rigid qualifications, says Lukas Sigrist.
Protecting art and passwords with biochemistry
Research
ETH Zurich
A new molecular test method helps to prove the authenticity of works of art. The new method could also help to make passwords secure against quantum computers.
