Through a new bilateral carbon trading pact, Switzerland is poised to fund thousands of household biogas reactors in Malawi. Marc Kalina has worked with biogas projects across Southern Africa and explains why they often fail to make their promised impact.
Peering into Nanofluidic Mysteries One Photon at a Time
Research
EPFL
EPFL and University of Manchester researchers unlock secrets of nanofluidics using a 2D material and light.
Made from waste instead of trees
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The start-up Treeless Pack produces cellulose with microorganisms - entirely without wood. The cellulose can be used to produce paper, packaging material or composites for the construction industry in a resource-saving way.
In the great outdoors
