Atom-thin graphene membranes make carbon capture more efficient
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have developed advanced atom-thin graphene membranes with pyridinic-nitrogen at pore edges, showing unprecedented performance in CO2 capture. It marks a significant stride toward more efficient carbon capture technologies.

ETH Zurich
Jessica Droujko’s start-up, Riverkin, measures the water quality of freshwater ecosystems and helps quantify and respond to risks such as floods and pollution. Thanks to an ETH Pioneer Fellowship, her work is now picking up speed.
Using radar to study glaciers
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH researchers are using radar to scan the snow and ice on the Jungfraujoch. Sometimes, scaling an icy peak is the only way for scientists to fully understand satellite data.
Hydrogen, the net-zero hero?
Research
EPFL
Green hydrogen could transform our energy system and solve many supply and emissions challenges. Whether this happens will depend on how economically it can be produced and attractive it will be to consumers.
How can we tax electric cars without slowing down the electromobility transition?
Politics
ETH Zurich
The federal government has plans to tax electric vehicles to secure funding for road infrastructure. However, a new levy could delay the switch to electromobility. Alessio Levis explains how this dilemma could be resolved.
Shoveling loads of snow
Research
WSL
SLF researchers investigate in deep holes whether satellite data accurately show snowmelt to improve hydrological discharge forecasts.
