Science
A thermoelectric materials emulator
Converting heat directly into power could be a major source of renewable energy. Physicists at ETH Zurich now have simulated new materials that are highly efficient in this transition – in an experiment with cold atoms trapped by lasers.

21.10.13 When careers run up against stereotypes
Next week the Office of Equal Opportunities at ETH Zurich celebrate its 20th anniversary with an exhibition in the Main Hall.
21.10.13 Printing architecture
Two ETH researchers have created an immersive space from artificial sandstone with a 3D printer.
17.10.13 Why lithium-ion-batteries fail
Materials in lithium ion battery electrodes expand and contract during charge and discharge. These volume changes drive particle fracture, which shortens battery lifetime. A group of ETH und PSI scientists quantify this effect for the first time by using x-ray tomography.
17.10.13 Food for thought
In recognition of World Food Day, the World Food System Center hosted the “Our Common Food” competition and ceremony. Participants submitted their innovative ideas to sustainably reduce food waste and loss within the food supply chain.
17.10.13 Observing brain activity during learning errors
A major goal in neuroscience is to be able to use magnetic resonance images of brain activity to identify how a person learns. Researchers from ETH and the University of Zurich have taken an important step forward.
