Machine learning cracks the oxidation states of crystal structures
Research
EPFL
Chemical engineers at EPFL have developed a machine-learning model that can predict a compound’s oxidation state, a property that is so essential that many chemists argue it must be included in the periodic table.
A virus to identify small peptide mimics of antifreeze proteins
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL and the University of Warwick have used a virus to identify a peptide that can serve the same function as antifreeze proteins. By preventing ice formation, the compound could play a key role in preserving cells and organ transplants and in food conservation.
An artificial leaf made from semiconducting polymers
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists are generating oxygen from sunlight, water and semiconducting polymers. They present a promising way towards economical and scalable solar fuel production.
Worrying insights into the chemicals in plastics
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH Zurich researchers examined chemicals in plastics worldwide. They found an unexpectedly high number of substances of potential concern intentionally used in everyday plastic products. A lack of transparency limits management of these chemicals.
They build proteins that are not known to nature

ETH Zurich
Using chemical synthesis, Bright Peak Therapeutics can produce proteins that have never before existed. This holds great potential for cancer immunotherapy. The Basel-based spin-off has its beginnings at ETH Zurich.
