Imaging at the next level
Research
ETH Board
Their names are Marianne Liebi Adrian Wanner. Two young researchers who make the nanostructure of macroscopic samples, such as bones or brain tissue, visible in three dimensions using high-resolution images. They achieve this using measurement data obtained with X-rays at the Swiss Light Source at PSI, which is then processed and used for imaging.
From Dübendorf to Jupiter
Research
Empa
JUICE, the European spacecraft that is scheduled to launch later today, will explore Jupiter and its icy moons. Some of the components on board have been manufactured at Empa using a specially developed soldering process.
Research for crisis management
Politics
ETH Board
Species decline, increasing extreme weather events as a fallout of global warming and, on top of it all, the war in Ukraine, which has also brought about uncertainties regarding energy supply and digital transformation: We are living in a challenging time in which several crises are being felt at once. Meanwhile, scientists from the ETH Domain are faced with a lot to tackle. They are investigating a diverse range of issues. Drawing on the expertise they have acquired, they are developing proposals for solutions to assist citizens, the authorities and politicians with advice and support.
X-ray imaging after heart transplantations
Research
PSI
A 3D imaging method could be beneficial for heart transplant patients. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and University Hospital Centre Zagreb in Croatia have shown that synchrotron radiation-based imaging of biopsy samples can reveal the extent to which the body is rejecting the transplanted organ. The new technique neatly supplements classical diagnostic methods. The researchers have published their findings in the medical journal Transplant International.
Jupiter mission to explore conditions conducive to life
Research
PSI
The JUICE mission of the European Space Agency ESA, which aims to explore the planet Jupiter and its three largest moons, is all set to go. The space probe will carry on board the high-tech detector RADEM developed at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. Among other things, this will provide information about the complex radiation conditions and the highly dynamic magnetic environment of the Jupiter system.
Together towards negative emissions
TechTransfer
Empa
The Association for the Decarbonization of Industry (AfDI) has set itself the goal of developing rapidly implementable and holistic approaches for CO2 reduction in industrial processes. The focus is on industrial high-temperature applications. Ideas of a global approach with overall negative CO2 emissions are also being pursued. Empa researcher Christian Bach represents Empa as a founding member in the association. Together with AfDI project manager Andreas Bittig, he provides insights into the visionary ideas and their practical implementation.
