Running without air resistance
Research
ETH Zurich
A newly developed airshield supports track and field athletes such as Mujinga Kambundji with overspeed training.
Innovative battery design: more energy and less environmental impact
Research
ETH Zurich
A new electrolyte design for lithium metal batteries could significantly boost the range of electric vehicles. Researchers at ETH Zurich have radically reduced the amount of environmentally harmful fluorine required to stabilise these batteries.
An alternative way to manipulate quantum states
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown that quantum states of single electron spins can be controlled by currents of electrons whose spins are evenly aligned. In the future, this method could be used in electronic circuit elements.
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.
New gel breaks down alcohol in the body
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a protein-based gel that breaks down alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract without harming the body. In the future, people who take the gel could reduce the harmful and intoxicating effects of alcohol.
ETH Zurich spin-offs develop high performance batteries
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The electrification of many areas of life is leading to an increased demand for high-performance batteries. Two ETH spin-offs are making waves in this field: while BTRY develops high-performance solid-state batteries, 8inks is working on a new standard for production.
