In this interview the aspiring chemical laboratory technician from Macedonia shares her experiences and tells us more about her adventurous path into research.
Costa Rica’s forests find their voice again
By "listening" to more than 16'000 hours of tropical soundscapes, Giacomo Delgado, doctoral student at the Department of Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS), show that Costa Rica’s Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programme is not only restoring forest cover – it is also bringing?back the biodiversity that makes these forests sing.
ZKB continues to support research in information security
Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) is extending its partnership. Through a donation of five million Swiss francs, to be invested incrementally over a further ten years, ZKB will continue to support the Zurich Information Security and Privacy Center (ZISC) as well as the ETH AI Center.
Surgery for quantum bits
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute have used a special technique to control quantum bits. They demonstrated how to perform an operation between two logical qubits while simultaneously correcting errors that may occur during this operation.
