In brief The power plants along the River Limmat can generate some 2 percent more electricity if Lake Zurich’s water level is managed in line with an adapted regulation – as ETH Zurich researchers ...
Climate researchers at ETH Zurich show where planting trees makes the most sense with a view to achieving the greatest possible cooling effect on the climate. Reforestation in tropical regions has the ...
As part of the Horizon Europe project Capable, researchers surveyed around 19’000 people from 13 European countries on 15 specific climate proposals in the summer of 2024. The aim was to determine how ...
In brief Extreme sea surface temperatures in 2023 resulted in high COâ‚‚ outgassing, particularly in the North Atlantic, meaning that the global ocean absorbed less COâ‚‚ overall. Thanks to El Niño, much ...
ETH Zurich's second campus, built from 1961, is located in the north of the city in a rural setting on the Hönggerberg. ETH Zurich's space requirements have been increasing for years and are ...
Cyber Security is a cornerstone for the continued expansion and acceptance of the infor­mation society while, at the same time, being a fundamental research discipline within computer science. Given ...
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 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 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 ...
Using measurement data from over 170,000 groundwater monitoring wells and 1,700 groundwater systems over the last 40 years, researchers have shown that global groundwater reserves are dwindling at an ...
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 ...
In brief Phosphorus is a key molecule for life, but the element is relatively rare on Earth. However, a very high concentration of phosphorus was necessary to set the first chemical reactions in ...
