1. Quantum engineering makes you happy

   Ananya Amitabh is 21 and studying for a Master’s degree in quantum engineering at ETH Zurich. She is impressed by the diversity and top level of quantum research conducted here. In the video, she explains why she chose this path, how she strikes a balance between her studies, karate and music, and why she thinks more women should opt for technical degree programmes. 

2. Record-breaking sediment core may help predict Antarctic ice loss

   An international research team has recovered the longest sediment core ever drilled from beneath an ice sheet. The core preserves evidence of climate changes spanning millions of years and will help improve predictions of how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may respond to ongoing global warming. 

3. Password managers less secure than promised

   Researchers from ETH Zurich have discovered serious security vulnerabilities in three popular, cloud-based password managers. During testing, they were able to view and even make changes to stored passwords. 

4. Lint Barrage, what are the economic consequences of climate change?

   Climate change is not just an environmental issue. Lint Barrage examines how it influences the global economy – and argues that the economic risks are already apparent today.

5. The Earth’s core is a huge hidden reservoir of hydrogen

   Recent research from ETH Zurich has revealed that the Earth’s core contains significantly more hydrogen than previously believed. The analysis suggests that a substantial amount of hydrogen entered the core during the early stages of the Earth’s formation.
