An unexpected antenna for nanoscale light sources
Research
ETH Zurich Empa
Researchers at ETH have created an antenna for light sources on a chip using an unusual placement of a semiconductor material. In the future, efficient nanoscale LEDs and lasers could be produced in this way.
Why urea may have been the gateway to life
Research
ETH Zurich
Urea reacts extremely quickly under the conditions that existed when our planet was newly formed. This new insight furthers our understanding of how life on Earth might have begun.
Safe intubation thanks to artificial intelligence and robotics
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The ETH spin-off aiEndoscopic has developed a device that should make intubation easier and safer in the future. It combines artificial intelligence and robotics.
An AI future worthy of humanity
Politics
ETH Zurich
Ethicist Peter G. Kirchschlaeger highlights how artificial intelligence can be regulated worldwide – and is pleased to have the support of leading international figures.
How a change of perspective caused a sensation
Research
ETH Zurich
Using applied mathematics, Yunan Yang finds solutions to the inverse problems that arise in seismology, weather forecasts, and machine learning. The key to her success is something called optimal transport.
How an ocean-fertilising bacterium forms aggregates
Research
ETH Zurich
Trichodesmium, a common and ecologically important bacterium, fertilises nutrient-poor regions of the oceans and thereby enables higher life. Crucial to its success is its ability to form aggregates in order to react quickly to changes in its environment. ETH Zurich researchers have shown how the microbes organise themselves in this process.
