  1. A fully liquid Earth’s core also generates a magnetic field

    For more than 100 years, scientists have puzzled over whether the Earth’s magnetic field had already been generated stably back in its early days when its inner core was fully liquid – unlike it is today. A team of geophysicists has used a simulation to show that this was highly likely.

  2. On track to produce better lab-grown burgers

    The cultivation of thick muscle fibres from bovine cells in the lab has long been a challenge for scientists. Researchers from ETH Zurich have now successfully tackled this issue – with the goal of one day producing edible meat.

  3. Why nationalists hardly ever anticipate nationalist retaliation

    Nationalism is surging at an alarming rate in many parts of the world. Conflict researcher Lars-Erik Cederman explains the paradoxical impact of nationalists’ repeated underestimation of the nationalism of others. This could also hold true in the attack on Iran.

  4. On equal terms with the CTO

    Students at ETH Zurich are teaming up with engineers from industrial companies to help expedite innovation. This unique approach to teaching and collaboration has been hailed by both sides as a great success.

  5. The new space age could thin the ozone layer

    The rapid rise in global rocket launches could slow the recovery of the vital ozone layer, says Sandro Vattioni. The problem is being underestimated – yet it could be mitigated by forward-looking, coordinated action.
