ETH Didactic Fellows at the ETH Learning and Teaching Fair
The ETH Didactic Fellows participated in the ETH Learning and Teaching Fair. Acting as mentors and resource persons for professors across ETH Zürich, our goal is to shift the educational focus from passive knowledge consumption to active co-creation between teachers and learners, through dialogue, interactivity, and creating a safe space for students.
ETH Zürich at MRS Spring Meeting 2026 in Hawaii
Attending the 2026 MRS Spring Meeting in Hawaii was an incredible experience, combining great science with breathtaking scenery. Our institute had a strong showing with contributions every single day of the conference, presenting results across a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary research: from quantum dots and phase change nanoparticles to intermetallics and next-generation battery materials.
A Visit to IMEC: Frontier of Microchip Innovation
We had the opportunity to visit imec in Belgium, one of the world's most unique research institutions. Hosting the most advanced research cleanroom globally, imec oversees end-to-end value chain integration in semiconductor technology and takes an undisputed lead in prototyping. As they build the NanoIC pilot line, it becomes clear where the future of European microchip technology will materialize.
KSE and ETH Zürich Celebrate First Graduates of Joint Master's Programme in Electrical Engineering
There is nothing quite like watching a bold idea thrive against all odds. This week, we hosted a delegation from the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) and celebrated the first cohort of graduates from the ETH-empowered KSE Master's programme in electrical engineering. It is highly rewarding to witness how a single programme is transforming into a whole ecosystem - new laboratories, research initiatives, and bachelor-level offerings. We are proud to have planted this seed in Ukraine in 2024.
Lara, welcome back!
We are excited to host Lara for a master thesis, starting today! The plans are ambitious, good luck for your experiments, Lara!
Master’s in Space Systems: ETH Zurich prepares students for lift off
What do you get when scientists and engineers on a new degree programme join forces to tinker with new business models, concepts and case studies for the space industry? The Master’s in Space Systems has produced its first graduates, and they join the programme director to reflect on the journey.
When bacteria become masons
Microscopic bacteria can bind grains of sand together into solid structures. An ETH Zurich researcher is combining this process with 3D printing and robotics, thereby opening up new ways of manufacturing architectural elements.
How cells make their command centre accessible
The cell nucleus stores and safeguards the genetic information in our cells. ETH Zurich researchers have now shown how this protective shell is breached to form vital communication channels between the nucleus and the rest of the cell, solving a long-standing puzzle.
Eva Lieberherr, how can we use water more sustainably?
As climate change makes water an increasingly valuable resource, we need more sustainable ways of managing it in towns and cities, argues Eva Lieberherr. The technology to do so is already available.
What competitive sports and robotics have in common
Tifanny Portela is doing her doctorate at ETH Zurich while competing with the Swiss national twirling team. She draws on her athletic background to handle setbacks, manage her time and stay focused. These skills also serve her well in her research.
