’The biggest challenge is lacking public acceptance of wind turbines’
An international team of researchers has examined the environmental, social, economic and legal aspects of wind energy. In this interview, Russell McKenna, an expert in energy system analysis, explains where he sees the greatest need for action to further develop wind energy.
Stress tests for the Swiss power system
Researchers from ETH Zurich and ZHAW Winterthur are simulating in a new study how the future Swiss power system could be structured to withstand a drastic fall in gas and electricity imports. By doing so, they aim to contribute to the discussion surrounding Switzerland's supply security.
Interpreting traces of arsenic in rain
On the Pic du Midi in the Pyrenees, researchers have analysed particulate matter, clouds and rainwater for traces of arsenic. Using newly developed measurement methods, they have elucidated the transport pathways of the environmental toxin in the atmosphere.
The view from space - and what it tells us
Earth-observation satellites deliver data for a wealth of applications - from monitoring climate change and documenting war crimes to planning disaster relief and assessing snow depth. researchers are also big beneficiaries.
Nature’s classroom
The Teaching Diploma in Sport at ETH Zurich is the only programme of its kind in Switzerland. Blending outdoor education with the romance of camp life, the course sees students brave cold water and river rapids.
Sustainable building components create a good indoor climate
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a climate-friendly covering for walls and ceilings that temporarily stores moisture, creating a comfortable environment in heavily used indoor spaces. The covering components are made of mineral waste materials and are produced by means of 3D printing.
Sunken worlds under the Pacific?
Geophysicists at ETH Zurich are using models of the lower mantle to identify areas where earthquake waves behave differently than previously assumed. This indicates the presence of zones of rocks that are colder, or have a different composition, than the surrounding rocks. This finding challenges our current understanding of the Earth's plate tectonics - and presents the researchers with a major mystery.
Energy from underground
Deep geothermal energy is climate-friendly and base-load capable - but how can this heat be tapped safely? researchers are working on minimizing the earthquake risk and developing completely new systems, for example with closed CO2 cycles.
Launch of space systems degree programme
Few courses of study at ETH Zurich have attracted quite as much attention as the new Master in Space Systems. Teachers and students strapped in for the programme's launch this autumn.
