  1. The exterior railings of the 125 year-old Schatzalp Hotel in Davos were in poor condition. Researchers at ETH Zurich teamed up with a local timber construction company and an ETH spin-off to find a replacement, using state-of-the-art technology.  
  2. Game-based training improves not only the cognitive abilities of people with initial signs of developing dementia, but also leads to positive changes in the brain. That is according to two new studies by researchers from ETH Zurich and Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences OST.
  3. Nine researchers from ETH Zurich have just been awarded Starting Grants from the European Research Council (ERC). This is a positive signal for Zurich as a research location.
  4. Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system significantly reduces manufacturing time and opens up new possibilities for aerospace and industry. ETH has filed a patent application for the machine.
  5. Measurements analysed by an international research team led by ETH Zurich show that the global ocean absorbed significantly less CO₂ than anticipated during the unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023.
