Macroscopic oscillators move as one at the quantum level
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have successfully achieved a quantum collective behavior of macroscopic mechanical oscillators, unlocking new possibilities in quantum technology.
The Cables of the SLS
Teaching
PSI
Knowing the paths that cables take also means knowing the machine to which they belong. Emanuel Hüsler, Head of the Electrical Installations Section at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, guides us through the complex electrical network of SLS 2.0 and thereby through the entire upgrade.
Moving towards low-carbon road transport
Research
PSI
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have presented a concept for decarbonising transport while keeping it economically competitive. Increasing the utilisation of carbon dioxide from biogas plants plays an important role.
Spark Award 2024: procedure for recycling rare earth metals receives award
Research
ETH Zurich
The prize for the most promising invention of the past year goes to Marie Amélie Perrin and Victor Mougel. They have developed a method that enables rare earth elements to be efficiently recovered from electrical waste.
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.
Is air conditioning a threat to the power grid?
Research
EPFL
The elevated temperatures this summer prompted many of us to crank up the air conditioning. In Switzerland, the energy used for cooling is approaching that for heating. What does that mean for power grids?
