Self-driving cars, the automatic detection of cancer cells, online translation: deep learning makes it all possible.

ETH spinoff FenX transforms industrial waste into a porous foam suitable for building insulation. Unlike other sustainable materials used for the purpose, this type of insulation is non-flammable and inexpensive to produce.

ETH researchers have developed a compact infrared spectrometer. It's small enough to fit on a computer chip but can still open up interesting possibilities - in space and in everyday life.

These days, Microsoft officially opens a lab in Zurich dedicated to researching mixed reality technologies and artificial intelligence.
