Five years of project-based learning
ETH Zurich has a centre for project-based learning in electrical engineering and information technology. In this interview, its director, Michele Magno, takes stock of the first five years.
Machine learning method could revolutionise astronomy
In a study published in the scientific journal Nature, an interdisciplinary team of researchers presents a novel machine learning method to analyse gravitational waves emitted from neutron star collisions almost instantaneously – even before the merger is fully observed.?
The search for life on Venus
As the speaker of the third edition of the COPL Colloquia, Sara Seager presented her current research on the atmosphere of Venus, showing how its chemistry and cloud characteristics are compatible with Venusian life.
Can poisoned AI models be “cured”?
Data poisoning poses a serious threat to AI language models such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek. New research results from ETH Zurich show how difficult it is to remove malicious data once it has been injected.
The adaptive solar fa?ade from Zurich Soft Robotics combines photovoltaics with dynamic solar shading.
The Solskin fa?ade system has been integrated in two research buildings and a house in the Alps. In Winterthur, architects are using the technology of the ETH Zurich spin-off in their designs for two new building projects.
A pioneer in nanoscale manufacturing research
Reflecting on his 27 years at D-MAVT, Sotiris Pratsinis recalls his students' successes in nanoparticle research and looks back on his time as department head. As he nears retirement, his essentials for a productive day will remain strong Swiss coffee and a laptop.
A Climate in Crisis: How Fossil Fuels Impact Human and Planetary Health
Global warming threaten the health of people and the planet. Research shows that dependence on fossil fuels is leading to extreme man-made climate extremes such as droughts, heavy rainfall and flooding. Forest fires and air and environmental pollution are affecting communities worldwide. Climate protection measures are a global responsibility.
How Stream Networks Pulse with Rainfall
Stream networks, typically mapped as fixed, actually expand and contract with rainfall and drying. Researchers from UC and ETH Zurich are the first to estimate this dynamic behavior at a large scale across the U.S.
From micro-robots in the bloodstream to the rover on Mars
On the occasion of the "International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2025", the D-MAVT was able to conduct an interview with alumna Noah Zegna Rothenberger. Noah is a robotics engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA. In this interview, she talks about her career in robotics and why she is excited about using robots in extreme environments - whether it is in blood vessels or on Mars.
MAN Energy Solutions Schweiz promotes energy research
MAN Energy Solutions Schweiz AG and ETH Zurich are forming a strategic partnership to support postdoctoral researchers in the field of sector coupling and energy models. The aim is to analyse European energy markets using AI-based models and to enhance the interaction between hardware and software solutions.
