Chemistry
Defects welcome
Research
Empa
Is it possible to convert CO2 back to fuels or other useful chemicals? Absolutely – but not in a very targeted way just yet. Empa researcher Alessandro Senocrate is looking at defects in materials that will help us achieve this goal.
GPT-3 transforms chemical research
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL demonstrate how GPT-3 can transform chemical analysis, making it faster and more user-friendly.
How to make bright quantum dots even brighter
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at Empa and ETH Zurich have developed methods for making perovskite quantum dots faster and more efficient emitters, thereby significantly improving their brightness. This is relevant for applications in displays as well as in quantum technologies.
Capturing greenhouse gases with the help of light
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich are developing a new method to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. It involves molecules that become acidic when exposed to light. Their new process requires much less energy than conventional technologies.
Pain relief without dependence
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH researchers have teamed up with Kantonsspital Baden to find ways of preventing patients from becoming dependent on opioid painkillers.
Watching electrons at work
Research
ETH Zurich Empa
Researchers from ETH Zurich, Empa and Stanford have taken snapshots of the crystal structure of perovskite nanocrystals as it was deformed by excited electrons. To their surprise, the deformation straightened out the skewed crystal structure rather than making it more disordered.
