Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein therapeutics, including cancer treatments.

ETH is helping the Kyiv School of Economics to establish a new electrical engineering programme, despite the war. The project's initiator, Maksym Yarema, explains why every month counts.  

Researchers at ETH Zurich aim to use a jelly-like to produce implants for rock-hard bones. How do they plan to accomplish this? 

As AI chatbots steadily improve their coding capabilities, many young people are wondering whether it still makes sense to study computer science. Their fears are unfounded, says ETH computer scientist Peter Müller. 

Biodiversity has suffered greatly worldwide. Companies should also do more to protect it. However, they need reliable indicators that quantify the success of measures taken to benefit nature, writes ETH ecosystem researcher Loïc Pellissier. 

Methanol is a key starting material for chemical products. Researchers from ETH Zurich can now produce this precursor from CO₂ and hydrogen with high efficiency by using isolated metal atoms as catalysts. 

ETH Zurich offers vocational training in 15 different professions. Whether apprentices complete their programmes successfully is already determined to some extent when they choose a profession. ETH offers low-threshold taster courses to encourage young people to cultivate professional prospects suited to their interests and abilities.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have identified hundreds of microbial species living among corals. These microbes produce a variety of substances with untapped potential for medicine and biotechnology, making the reef ecosystem even more valuable than previously recognised. .
