Every second woman and every eighth man suffer from urinary tract infections. These are painful and can recur with serious health consequences. Pioneer Fellow Giorgia Greter has a solution. Giorgia Greter could have been sitting in one of these minimalist, but elegant offices of a venture capital ...
ETH spin-off Aeroskin Tech is developing innovative thermal insulation that uses aerogel technology to insulate buildings more efficiently and more sustainably
10-Dec-2024
When winter arrives and the temperature drops, we can either put on some warm clothing or turn up the heating and live with the additional costs. But what if the solution for a warm and energy-friendly home lies in the walls of the building? The more effectively buildings are thermally insulated ...
In order to market the technology, the researchers already founded a start-up called Reecover
26-Nov-2024
The prize for the most promising invention of the past year goes to Marie Amélie Perrin and Victor Mougel. They have developed a method that enables rare earth elements to be efficiently recovered from electrical waste. Rare earth elements are an indispensable part of modern electronics. They can ...

The ETH spin-off Terensis uses satellites to predict crop yields and climate risks such as drought or frost. This not only helps farmers with their planning. Authorities and insurance companies can also better assess damage and treat it more cost-effectively. "There's no question that farmers ...
“We’re seeing immense interest from industry and research, especially in cyclic molecules, which to date haven’t been accessible in large numbers”
04-Sep-2024
Pharmaceutical researchers often find new pharmaceutically active substances only by sifting through large collections of chemical compounds. Chemists at ETH Zurich have now made critical progress on a specific process for generating and searching these collections. Nowadays, there’s lots of buzz ...
Start-up wants to turn waste into treasure
10-Jul-2024
ETH researchers are developing a process inspired by nature that efficiently recovers europium from old fluorescent lamps. The approach could lead to the long-awaited recycling of rare earth metals. Rare earth metals are not as rare as their name suggests. However, they are indispensable for the ...
ETH researchers and start-up Koa develop more sustainable and nutrient-rich chocolate
28-May-2024
Researchers at ETH Zurich have teamed up with the food industry to produce a whole-fruit variety of chocolate. This helps increase the value creation of cocoa farming – and is healthier. For many people, chocolate is a sweet delight: its main components are cocoa mass and cocoa butter, which are ...
BTRY and 8inks are focusing on efficient battery production with maximum sustainability
30-Apr-2024
The electrification of many areas of life is leading to an increased demand for high-performance batteries. Two ETH spin-offs are making waves in this field: while BTRY develops high-performance solid-state batteries, 8inks is working on a new standard for production. In order to reduce our ...
