There have been repeated small earthquakes under and around the Mont Blanc Massif for around ten years now. A new study demonstrates for the first time a link between climate-driven changes in glaciated high mountain regions and increased local earthquake hazard.

Albert Eschenmoser (1925-2023) shaped organic chemistry like few others. In a chat with Helma Wennemers, the former ETH Professor reveals personal details about his life, career, and research. In Episode 1, we learn how he found his way into chemistry - a very interesting, but complicated story, as he humorously admits.?

Using a newly developed microscopy technique, researchers at ETH Zurich have examined cell culture models of the human brain ¨C known as brain organoids ¨C over a period of several weeks for the first time. This enabled them to observe how the brain develops.

A new course at ETH Zurich called ¡®Large-Scale AI Engineering¡¯ helps students acquire the skills needed to develop and optimise AI technologies.

ETH chemist Marie Perrin is one of the ten finalists for the European Patent Office's Young Inventor Prize 2025. She received the award in the ¡®World builder¡¯ category for her environmentally friendly method of recovering europium from old fluorescent lamps.

The renovation initiative, co-initiated by the chair of Arno Brandlhuber, is being honoured. The OBEL Award, endowed with €100,000, has been recognizing social and ecological projects in architecture since 2019.

The Military Academy at ETH Zurich and the Centre for Security Studies have published their study entitled ¡®Security 2025¡¯. This study has been published annually since 1999 and serves to identify long-term trends in the formation of opinion on foreign, security and defence policy in Switzerland.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method for producing microporous hydrogels in which cells can grow in 3D. The new technique makes it possible to precisely control the tiny pores in the scaffolds.

Organic particles that settle on the seabed ensure CO2?stays locked. However, natural gel-like substances slow down this process. Such mechanisms on?microscale play a crucial role in enhancing climate predictions.
