When the eye’s cornea is severely damaged, a transplant is often the only solution. Yet donor tissue remains scarce. A researcher from ETH Zurich is developing an implant that could bridge this gap and restore people’s vision.
Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a molecular switch that is controlled by light. It wakes lung cancer cells up from a protective dormant state so that they are more accessible for treatment.
The removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere is considered an important tool in the fight against climate change – but has so far been an energy-intensive and expensive process. Now, researchers have developed a new method that efficiently binds carbon dioxide and releases it again using only a small amount of energy. The starting materials are provided by waste products from dairy and soy processing.
