A new switch for the cell therapies of the future
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using a commercially available nitroglycerine patch applied to the skin. One day, researchers want to use switches of this kind to trigger cell therapies for various metabolic diseases.
ETH students simulate Venus mission
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH students have simulated an exploration mission to Venus by launching self-built test satellites from a plane over Dübendorf military airfield. These satellites glided to the ground with parachutes, recording acoustic signals during their descent.
How ETH Zurich plans to develop
Teaching
ETH Zurich
The “Institutional Priorities 2025–2036” and the “Development Plan 2025–2028” set out how the university plans to fulfil its mission over the coming years.
How climate extremes fuel droughts and heavy rains
Research
ETH Zurich
Global warming causes extreme temperatures – this is clear to most, but few realize that both droughts and heavy rains are symptomatic of a climate in crisis. Sonia Seneviratne explains the far-reaching impacts of climate extremes.
Ice streams move due to tiny ice quakes
Research
ETH Zurich WSL
For the first time, an international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. This finding will allow the flowing of the ice stream and associated changes in sea level to be estimated more accurately.
Obese and healthy
Research
ETH Zurich
Body weight and body mass index alone are not enough to predict whether someone will develop a metabolic disease. A new atlas of cells in fat tissue could help to explain why some overweight people stay healthy, while others do not.
