ETH Zurich researchers have investigated how tiny gas bubbles can deliver drugs into cells in a targeted manner using ultrasound. For the first time, they have visualised how tiny cyclic microjets liquid jets generated by microbubbles penetrate the cell membrane enabling the drug uptake.

The three events of the first series were fully booked. Now ETH professor Thomas Michaels is returning with a second series of his cooking show in March, with prestigious guests and scientific explanations for the preparation of food and drinks.?

For Switzerland to achieve its net zero climate target, not only must it reduce its CO₂ emissions, it must also find a way to store the greenhouse gas permanently. Researchers at ETH Zurich have investigated whether, and under what conditions, CO₂ could be stored underground in Switzerland.

Founded with a view to boosting the lifespan and reliability of wind turbines, the ETH spin-off RTDT is now improving the devices¡¯ electricity production and performance ¨C all with the help of an intelligent plaster for rotor blades.

What is it like to study at ETH Zurich? Mohammed Said shares an insight into his daily life as a medical student and explains how a new world unfolds for him every day.

ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using a commercially available nitroglycerine patch applied to the skin. One day, researchers want to use switches of this kind to trigger cell therapies for various metabolic diseases.

ETH students have simulated an exploration mission to Venus by launching self-built test satellites from a plane over D¨¹bendorf military airfield. These satellites glided to the ground with parachutes, recording acoustic signals during their descent.

The ¡°Institutional Priorities 2025¨C2036¡± and the ¡°Development Plan 2025¨C2028¡± set out how the university plans to fulfil its mission over the coming years.

Global warming causes extreme temperatures ¨C this is clear to most, but few realize that both droughts and heavy rains are symptomatic of a climate in crisis. Sonia Seneviratne explains the far-reaching impacts of climate extremes.

For the first time, an international team of researchers has shown that countless tiny ice quakes take place in one of Greenland's mightiest ice streams. This finding will allow the flowing of the ice stream and associated changes in sea level to be estimated more accurately.

Body weight and body mass index alone are not enough to predict whether someone will develop a metabolic disease. A new atlas of cells in fat tissue could help to explain why some overweight people stay healthy, while others do not.
