Staying open to the next surprise
A conversation with Dr Antonius Armanious about unconventional career paths in academia and the value of research led by scientific curiosity.
Spin-off developing “conductors” for quantum computers
Quantum computers only work when a control system reliably delivers algorithms to the hardware while immediately detecting and correcting erroneous calculations. The ETH spin-off Qendra is developing precisely these systems, making it a player in an expanding market.
A workshop for one's own projects
There exists a D-PHYS laboratory workshop where ETH members can work on their own projects using professional machinery and specialised workstations.
Clean sweep for cutting-edge research
From biotech and engineering to the latest work in physics – many scientific breakthroughs start life in the clean room. ETH researchers enjoy access to top-notch facilities in Basel and Zurich.
What a jigsaw and wooden grill skewers have in common
An outreach project provided an opportunity to look at key concepts in condensed matter physics in new and fun ways.
Novel particle beam could challenge Einstein’s theory of gravity
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute have produced an intense, cold beam of exotic atoms. They aim to use this to test a fundamental principle of Einstein’s theory of gravity – the universality of free fall.
The ideal setting for sensitive experiments
The product of almost two decades of planning, ETH Zurich’s new HPQ physics building on the Hönggerberg campus is designed with high-precision experiments in mind.
Making X-ray movies for ultrafast dynamics in nanomatter
An international research team found out how to recover the information stored in the superimposed diffraction signals produced by two-colour X-ray pulses.
