Researchers at ETH Zurich have, for the first time, created certifiably perfect random numbers using a quantum experiment.

The Autumn Semester (HS) begins in week 38 (mid-September) and ends in week 51 (just before Christmas). It comprises 14 weeks. The Spring Semester (FS) begins in week 8 (mid-February) and ends in week ...

ETH researchers are making chocolates shimmer in rainbow colours without the addition of colourants. They have found a way to imprint a special structure on the surface of the chocolate to create a ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a condenser for countries where water is in short supply. Theirs is the first zero-energy solution for harvesting water from the atmosphere throughout the ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich are using a new method for digital timber construction in a real project for the first time. The load-bearing timber modules, which are prefabricated by robots, will be ...

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding ...

In brief Asgard archaea are a group of microorganisms discovered just ten years ago. They represent a link between bacteria, archaea and complex organisms, such as plants and animals. ETH researchers ...

In brief One year after the NASA InSight Mission ended, the analysis of the recorded marsquakes, combines with computer simulations, is still yielding new findings. An analysis of the initially ...

The evolution of our Earth is the story of its cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, extreme temperatures prevailed on the surface of the young Earth, and it was covered by a deep ocean of magma. Over ...

In spring 2024 the new Alps supercomputer goes live at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) of ETH Zurich in Lugano. Boasting the next generation of more than 10,000 graphics processing ...

Glaciers are melting rapidly – and since the 2000s, scientists have been recording and researching changes in their volume more and more precisely. In contrast, hardly anything is known about how ...

ETH Zurich researchers are for the first time using a technology known as “piezocatalysis” to break down hazardous PFOS chemicals in water with the help of nanoparticles and ultrasound. The method has ...
