Imagine a future where bone diseases such as osteoporosis can be studied and treated without relying on animal models. At the ETH Industry Day on November 21, Prof. Xiao-Hua Qin will present pioneering biomaterials that allow lab-grown bone tissues to mimic real human bones.

A group of chemists around Professor Mougel is investigating the electrochemical reduction of CO2 into alcohol and related molecules. The resulting alcohol and related hydrocarbons could be used as chemical feedstocks while removing CO2 from the air. Much of what happens in this promising reaction remains obscure, but Professor Mougel and his team are shedding light on what is going on.

Prof. Máté Bezdek and his team are experts in chemical sensing. They aim to develop sensors for agriculture that enable accurate fertilizing of fields, avoiding over-fertilization and thus help mitigate the emissions caused by agriculture.

Treatment resistance accounts for 90% of cancer deaths and was hard to diagnose up to now. ETH spin-off Parithera enables early diagnosis.

At the ETH Industry Day 2022, you can discover novel research close-up and meet the corresponding scientists. One of them is Tom Kober – he investigates how the industrial and energy sectors could achieve carbon neutrality.

At the ETH Industry Day, you can discover novel research close up and meet the scientists. One of them is Eva Meemken - she investigates sustainability standards and how development goals along agri-food chains could be monitored.

Big Data applications require high computing performance while consuming as little power as possible. Current computer systems are reaching their limits in both areas. Professor Onur Mutlu is working on alternative systems and has just received the Intel 2021 Outstanding Researcher Award for his work.

The purification of gases consumes a lot of energy, both for the production of plastics and for bottled oxygen. ETH spin-off Unisieve pursues a new approach to filtering.

In the "Quartierstrom" project, ETH Zurich has joined forces with partner companies and universities to conduct field trials on a local electricity market for the first time. Christian Dürr from the Wasser- und Elektrizitätswerk Walenstadt (WEW) shares his experience as an SME in this project.

Engineers from ETH Zurich have created a platform that determines how the CO2 emissions of diesel engines can be reduced based on engine measurements and tests with various fuels. We talked to project manager Dr. Christophe Barro.
