New materials for the computer of the future Research PSI Novel materials could revolutionise computer technology. Research conducted by scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI using the Swiss Light Source SLS has reached an important milestone along this path. The Nuclear Reality is Unsettling Politics ETH Zurich Stephen Herzog is researching how nuclear weapons could be better controlled and eventually eliminated. For him, Putin's threats are a reason to fundamentally question the nuclear “balance of terror." Preparing future leaders for a more sustainable society Teaching EPFL EPFL has joined the Laidlaw Foundation to offer its first-year Bachelor’s students a new program designed to develop a new generation of leaders working for a sustainable future. Always following the sun Research Empa Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees requires the energy system to be restructured as quickly as possible. But the speed of this transformation is physically limited. An Empa study now calculates the influence of energy storage systems on the maximum possible transition speed – and thus also on the probability of successfully mastering the climate crisis. The days of the generalist are gone. Long live the specialist! Research EPFL In science, specialization pays off – at least when it comes to career impact. That’s the finding of a team of EPFL researchers who looked specifically at this subject. Many paths lead to the energy future Research PSI The goal is clear: zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. But how can Switzerland manage the energy transition at the lowest costs possible and ensure the security of the energy supply? PSI researchers are providing answers with a computer model that is unique in its scope. Previous 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11... Next Page 7 of 18
