Timber construction is one of the most promising approaches to sustainable building. ETH Zurich and Henkel are joining forces to optimize the fire safety of laminated timber structures. In their research labs, it gets hot, as you can see in the video.  

Xavier Garrabou Pi, ETH Pioneer Fellow, developed a new generation of artificial enzymes that will help creating more potent and selective pharmaceuticals.

In many companies, most text documents are not machine readable and are thus called dark data. In the video, you can see how ETH Zurich and Zurich Insurance bring light into the darkness.

Easy and fast medical tests that need no specialized laboratories – that is the dream of scientists from ETH Zurich and Roche. They invented a technology for the detection of specific biomolecules in liquids like blood. The video shows the great potential of this new approach for diagnostics.
