Paul Wrede, doctoral student at the professorship for biomedical imaging led by Prof. Daniel Razansky, has been awarded the 2026 Schmidt Science Fellowship. His goal is to explore how artificial cells can be developed to better communicate with the body and to understand fundamental biological processes.
A new artificial skin, developed by researchers in Pisa, features an ETH chip. This computer chip mimics the human nervous system, enabling it to reliably and rapidly detect touch. The technology could pave the way for advancements in robots, prosthetics, and wearable devices.
Sika is participating as a funding partner in ETH Zurich’s “Living Lab HIL” project. With a significant financial contribution, Sika is supporting the early project phases “Exploration” (2026), “Synthesis” (2027) and “Transfer” (2028). During these stages, the renovation and expansion of the ETH building for architecture and civil engineering will be prepared and designed as a real-life case study for circular, resource-efficient and digital construction.
