Computer Science
A new boost for the data highway
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
Increasingly large amounts of data are being sent back and forth around the world. To ensure that this exchange continues to function smoothly, new solutions are needed at the interfaces between chips and optical fibres. The ETH Zurich spin-off Lumiphase relies on a new material that efficiently converts electrical signals into optical ones.

Jupyter Notebooks: interactive, digital tools for better learning
Teaching
EPFL
Jupyter Notebooks are digital tools that have become indispensable in a number of disciplines taught at EPFL. Both students and teachers alike appreciate the Notebooks’ flexibility and interactive features.
Serious security vulnerabilities in computer memories
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered major vulnerabilities in DRAM memory devices, which are widely used in computers, tablets and smartphones. The vulnerabilities have now been published together with the National Cyber Security Centre, which for the first time has assigned an identification number for it.
Digital twins give fresh insight into the world around us
Research
EPFL
Digital twins are computer-based models of an object or even a human organ, and the technology behind them is advancing at a rapid pace. EPFL will host a series of talks and seminars on this topic at its Digital Twin Days on 15 and 16 November. An ideal opportunity to learn more about the work EPFL researchers are doing in this pioneering field.
Swiss security policy in an unstable world
Politics
ETH Zurich
During her visit to ETH Zurich, Defence Minister Viola Amherd sketched a picture of an unstable, unpredictable world to which Swiss security policy must adapt. ETH Zurich and EPFL make an important contribution to the security of Switzerland by training specialist personnel and facilitating knowledge transfer.
