Research
ETH Zurich
An international team of researchers led by the ETH Zurich and the National Centre of Competence in Research PlanetS have reconstructed the early history of several asteroids more precisely than ever before. Their results indicate that the early solar system was more chaotic than previously thought.

An ecological turnaround can be achieved
Research
ETH Zurich
Nature is not a ‘nice to have’ – it’s our life support system. Dwindling biodiversity endangers the very foundation of our existence. A turnaround is possible, but only if we all want it, says Christoph Küffer.
Good science journalism has a cost
Politics
ETH Zurich
Translating research results for society requires resources. Either we pay someone to make it work – or we pay as a society if it turns out not to work.
Automated analysis of animal behaviour
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers have developed a new method that uses artificial intelligence to analyse animal behaviour. This opens the door to longer-term in-depth studies in the field of behavioural science – while also helping to improve animal welfare. The method is already being tested at Zurich Zoo.

Research
ETH Zurich
