Ten years of gravitational-wave detections
The physicist Michele Vallisneri is talking about his recent move to ETH Zurich, his research plans and the profound impact of the first gravitational-wave detection in 2015.
Setting new standards for 3D-printed concrete construction
An innovative concrete formulation combined with novel reinforcement strategies and design methods, all developed by researchers at ETH Zurich, have paved the way for the large-scale 3D printing of load-bearing components. Starting in May, these can be admired as the building blocks of the world’s tallest 3D-printed tower.
What if researchers looking for life on exoplanets find nothing?
In the search for exoplanet life, could finding nothing at all still mean something? Physicist, Daniel Angerhausen, ETH Zurich's Institute of Particle Physics and Astrophysics, led a team of researchers in a study to find out what humanity could learn about the universe - even if no signs of life on other planets is detected.
