As atmospheric CO2?levels continue their steady climb, the ocean persistently takes up a quarter of our CO2?emissions, curtailing the pace of climate change. But the ocean does not soak up carbon uniformly. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Exeter, Great Britain, released a new product that uses satellites to map the ocean carbon sink at an unprecedented resolution, offering unique insights into its highly variable nature.

A joint study by researchers from ETH Zurich and BOKU University has analysed the age distribution of Alpine rivers in Switzerland and Austria and shown that a large proportion of the annual runoff is significantly older than one month.

Richard Hahnloser of the Institute of Neuroinformatics (ETH Zurich and UZH) was awarded a prestigious fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) in Princeton.

The Director General of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization recently visited ETH Zurich to discuss innovation and collaboration for sustainable food systems.

Amy Fraley dives deep into nature to grasp its complexity ¨C literally as a passionate scuba diver, but also as a chemist in the laboratory.

On 1 January 2024, Johanna Ziegel started her position as a full professor of statistics. Her research revolves around forecasting in a broad variety of contexts and provides mathematical tools to tell when a prediction is "good".

Fraudsters, armed with just moderate technical skills and inexpensive technology, could use someone else¡¯s payment card, mobile phone, or smartwatch to make contactless payments at a distant location without the victim¡¯s consent. ETH Zurich researchers have developed a security solution that protects consumers against this threat.

Researchers have precisely dated zircon crystals from the Moon and found that most of the analysed crystals are around 4.338 billion years old. They bear witness to a huge impact at the South Pole of the Moon and shed new light on the early phase of our solar system.

A pathway called TNF-Alpha controls the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. As cancer progresses, the cells activate their own TNF-Alpha program and become invasive. Researchers at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich believe that this finding could improve the early detection and treatment of skin, esophageal, bladder, and colon cancers.
