An ETH risk researcher has concluded that Energy Strategy 2050 doesn’t work. The Energy Science Center at ETH Zurich disagrees: extensive research shows that the energy transition is feasible and makes sense, writes Gabriela Hug together with her ESC colleagues.
The latest CRISPR-based genome editing systems function more like molecular taxis rather than a pair of molecular scissors. This makes them much safer for patients who will soon benefit from gene therapies, as Eric Aird explains.
In Zurich, the Center for Project-Based Learning at ETH Zurich (D-ITET) is testing newly developed sensors on Münsterhof and Vulkanplatz together with the Civil Engineering Office of the City of Zurich and the energy provider ewz. Against the backdrop of climate change, these are intended to provide information about how the chairs on the squares are used.
Experiencing a different academic culture can open up new perspectives on research and on life. This was the experience of three ETH doctoral students who were awarded an ETH Zurich Doc.Mobility Fellowship for a six months stay abroad. ETH doctoral students may apply again by 1 September 2022.
