Storing hydrogen is expensive and inefficient. Is it? ETH researchers now show how it can be stored well in iron. Thus, by 2026, one fifth of the Hönggerberg campus's winter electricity needs are to be covered by solar energy. https://lnkd.in/gb-_cSUv

ETH Zurich – Where the future begins 🚀🔬
Info
Die ETH Zürich – Wo Zukunft entsteht Freiheit und Eigenverantwortung, Unternehmergeist und Weltoffenheit: Die Werte der Schweiz sind das Fundament der ETH Zürich. Die Wurzeln unserer technisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Hochschule reichen zurück ins Jahr 1855, als die Gründer der modernen Schweiz diesen Ort der Innovation und des Wissens geschaffen haben. Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert. Im Herzen Europas und weltweit vernetzt entwickelt die ETH Zürich Lösungen für die globalen Herausforderungen von heute und morgen. 530 Professorinnen und Professoren bilden rund 20‘500 Studierende – darunter 4100 Doktorierende – aus über 120 Ländern aus. Gemeinsam forschen sie in Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften, Architektur, Mathematik, systemorientierten Wissenschaften sowie in Management- und Sozialwissenschaften. Die Erkenntnisse und Innovationen der ETH-Forschenden fliessen in die zukunftsträchtigsten Branchen der Schweizer Wirtschaft ein: von der Informatik über die Mikro- und Nanotechnologie bis hin zur Hightechmedizin. Die ETH meldet jährlich 90 Patente und 200 Erfindungen an. Seit 1996 sind aus der Hochschule 380 Spin-off-Firmen hervorgegangen. Auch in Wissenschaftskreisen geniesst die ETH einen hervorragenden Ruf: 21 Nobelpreisträger haben hier studiert, gelehrt oder geforscht, und in internationalen Rankings wird die ETH Zürich regelmässig als eine der weltweit besten Universitäten bewertet.

What if we could create high-quality products from the millions of tonnes of plastic waste we produce every year? Well, ETH researchers have just lay the foundations for this to happen. They have succeeded in breaking down long-chain plastic molecules into molecules that can be used as fuels or lubricants. On this basis, suitable chemical catalysts for the recycling process can be developed. https://lnkd.in/eGCVfCSV Involved: NCCR Catalysis, Javier Pérez-Ramírez & Antonio José Martín Fernández, PhD. #Recycling #ChemicalCatalysts #PlasticWaste #Polymers

Congratulations, ETH Zurich spinoff Oxara, to this great step forward!
🤝 Partnership for change: Oxara, KIBAG and Holcim Schweiz / Suisse / Svizzera embark on a joint path! At Oxara, we ask ourselves: How do we make our vision of #sustainable #construction and #affordable #housing a reality? How can we maximise our positive impact on the construction industry, enhance the livelihoods of communities, and protect our environment? 🌱 We believe the answer lies in #partnerships between industry leaders, policy makers, and other stakeholders while sharing collective knowledge, and leveraging combined experience and market reach to contribute to international climate goals. After testing and validating our technology, we are excited to join forces with KIBAG and Holcim Schweiz / Suisse / Svizzera and look forward to advancing sustainable construction practices together. At the heart of this collaboration is our #innovative Oxacrete Oulesse® binder, which enables the reuse of demolition materials and closes material loops within the industry. When adopted, this technology has the potential to serve up to 10% of the concrete market in Switzerland, a significant impact of which we are immensely proud! This partnership is an important milestone in the official market entry of Oxacrete Oulesse® and its potential to transform construction by decarbonising building materials and fostering a circular economy. 🚀 We invite you to explore the details of this partnership in the full press release.

From 25 to 27 October, the third CYBATHLON will take place in the Swiss Arena in Kloten, Switzerland. This is the world’s largest competition in which people with disabilities master everyday tasks with the help of newly developed assistive technologies. For this Cybathlon, the six existing disciplines were further developed, and two new ones added: a race with intelligent vision assistive technologies and one with assistant robots. 🥇 For the third time, ETH Zurich is organising the Cybathlon, which aims to significantly advance assistive technologies for people with disabilities. 🥈 Pilots solve everyday tasks in eight disciplines. For the first time, competitions will be held with visual assistants and assistance robots. 🥉 In 2024, the Cybathlon will once again take place in the Kloten stadium, as well as in eight other locations around the world. #cybathlon_2024 #inclusivity #technology #competition #assistivetechnology

Researchers at ETH Zurich and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have succeeded for the first time in using remote control to perform a magnetic endoscopy on a live pig. The researchers controlled the probe from Zurich while the animal was on the operating table in Hong Kong. 💡 Researchers at ETH Zurich and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have had their first success in performing a magnetic endoscopy in Hong Kong from Switzerland. 💡 This breakthrough was made possible by a secure, fast internet connection as well as a magnetic navigation system developed at ETH Zurich featuring a magnetically operated endoscope. 💡 In the future, the technology could enable better surgical care in remote areas – especially for procedures for which no local expertise is available.

ETH Zürich hat dies direkt geteilt
🇨🇭🏔️High mountains, deep lakes; small country, big passion🏔️🇨🇭 It was a pleasure to share our innovative food systems research with FAO Director General Qu Dongyu and Swiss Ambassador Krisztina Bende this week during their visit to ETH Zürich. Christian Wolfrum and Martijn Sonnevelt welcomed the FAO delegation, which also included Christian Hofer, Dominique Burgeon, Corinna Hawkes, and Damien Kelly. Bridging fundamental research to applications as well as sharing of knowledge with the public was highlighted. Closer collaboration of the FAO with ETH Zurich was also discussed. The delegation then moved into the atrium of the historic LFW building to talk with researchers: 🍎 Corina Oppliger (Crop Science ETH) and Giovanni Broginni presented research working to accelerate breeding of new varieties of #pulses and #apples in Switzerland and abroad. 🔲 Hélène Iven highlighted bringing science into practice by showcasing the Digit Soil device, which measure parameters important for #soilhealth. 👩🔬 Alexander Mathys, Fabian Abiusi, Agon Besimi, Corina Sägesser, and Maja Lermark Schøn explained their multifaceted work on sustainable #protein sources such as nutritious meat alternatives containing #microalgae and feed based on #insects. 📈 Gregor Perich and Lukas Graf from Terensis showed how their developed interactive dashboard provides real-time information on crop development, risk windows, and crop yield forecasting. 🌱 Nina Buchmann, founding Chair of the World Food System Center, then introduced the Center's varied activities. It was our pleasure to exchange with the delegation, and we hope the visit helps to further strengthen bridges between ETH Zürich and United Nations FAO.

Not all #Pain is the same. Depending on the cause, it requires different therapies. A team led by ETH Zurich has now developed a method that enables physicians to better distinguish between #Physical and #Psychosocial pain. In brief • A new method makes it possible to distinguish and quantify the physical and psychosocial components of pain. • The research team, led by ETH Zurich, developed an index for each of the two components with the help of #MachineLearning. • The new method and the indices are a digital #DecisionMaking aid for physicians in pain #Medicine.
