Researchers from ETH Zurich have manufactured organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on a nanoscale – that’s around a hundred times smaller than a human cell. This not only enables ultra-sharp screens ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a process that can be used on site to render environmental toxins such as DDT and lindane harmless and convert them into valuable chemicals – a breakthrough for ...

In a new study, researchers show that gas bubbles can form in the rising magma not only due to a drop in pressure but also due to shear forces. If these gas bubbles grow in the volcanic vent early on ...
