Surgeries of complex bone fractures are challenging and often fail. ETH Pioneer Fellow Thomas Zumbrunn uses sophisticated 3D simulations and augmented reality to assist the doctors.

Car or aeroplane components made of carbon fibre composites are much lighter than metal parts. If such components were digitally and cost-effectively mass-produced, the CO₂ emissions of an aircraft could be reduced by several tons. To this end, ETH spin-off 9T Labs provides solutions.

The purification of gases consumes a lot of energy, both for the production of plastics and for bottled oxygen. ETH spin-off Unisieve pursues a new approach to filtering.
