Chemical plastics recycling is ready to go
Research
ETH Zurich
Scientists around the world can now go full throttle in their research into chemical plastics recycling. Researchers at ETH Zurich have laid important foundations for this by showing that it’s all about the stirring.
Running without air resistance
Research
ETH Zurich
A newly developed airshield supports track and field athletes such as Mujinga Kambundji with overspeed training.
Light green hydrogen will do
Research
ETH Zurich
Whether sustainably produced hydrogen needs to be 100 percent green is currently under debate. Using the production of ammonia and artificial fertiliser as examples, researchers have calculated that "nearly sustainable" hydrogen would be better in the end.
Atom-thin graphene membranes make carbon capture more efficient
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have developed advanced atom-thin graphene membranes with pyridinic-nitrogen at pore edges, showing unprecedented performance in CO2 capture. It marks a significant stride toward more efficient carbon capture technologies.
Using radar to study glaciers
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH researchers are using radar to scan the snow and ice on the Jungfraujoch. Sometimes, scaling an icy peak is the only way for scientists to fully understand satellite data.
The mystery of cathodic corrosion protection clarified
Research
ETH Zurich
Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby resolving a controversial issue that had preoccupied the engineering community for decades.
