Research for food process engineering and nutrition
The companies Givaudan, Bühler and Nestlé made it possible to create a new professorship in the field of food process engineering and nutrition. Patrick Rühs has been appointed to this promising professorship.
Human Cell Atlas expanded
In the Human Cell Atlas, researchers around the world combine data on all cell types in the human body. A team of scientists led by ETH Zurich has now expanded this atlas with data on gene activity in nerve tissue. The researchers obtained their data using organoids, which are miniature tissues grown in cell culture.
Strengthening disaster preparedness through impact-based forecasting
Pui Man Kam and colleagues at ETH Zurich have created a global, open-source system to forecast how many people will be displaced by tropical cyclones.
Climate change leads to more alpine hazards
Climate change is intensifying natural hazards in many mountain areas, posing particular challenges for the Alpine region. These are the findings of a study coordinated by glaciologist Mylène Jacquemart and permafrost expert Samuel Weber from ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.
Biodiversity increases organic nutrient availability across ecosystems
Insects and spiders are crucial for food webs in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their decline reduces the food supply for birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals, resulting in a scarcity of essential fatty acids
Colorful chemistry: discovering Jenny-Trümpy's fabric pattern books online
