Balanced fertilization through field sensors
- Events
- Sustainability
Prof. Máté Bezdek and his team are experts in chemical sensing. They aim to develop sensors for agriculture that enable accurate fertilizing of fields, avoiding over-fertilization and thus help mitigate the emissions caused by agriculture.
Early diagnosis of resistant cancer
Entrepreneurship
Treatment resistance accounts for 90% of cancer deaths and was hard to diagnose up to now. ETH spin-off Parithera enables early diagnosis.

In-Memory-Computing: faster and more energy efficient
- Sustainability
- Industry Projects
Big Data applications require high computing performance while consuming as little power as possible. Current computer systems are reaching their limits in both areas. Professor Onur Mutlu is working on alternative systems and has just received the Intel 2021 Outstanding Researcher Award for his work.
Novel membrane saves energy
Entrepreneurship
The purification of gases consumes a lot of energy, both for the production of plastics and for bottled oxygen. ETH spin-off Unisieve pursues a new approach to filtering.
Give and take in a local electricity market
- Industry Projects
- Sustainability
In the "Quartierstrom" project, ETH Zurich has joined forces with partner companies and universities to conduct field trials on a local electricity market for the first time. Christian Dürr from the Wasser- und Elektrizit?tswerk Walenstadt (WEW) shares his experience as an SME in this project.
Diesel engines emitting less carbon
Industry Projects
Engineers from ETH Zurich have created a platform that determines how the CO2 emissions of diesel engines can be reduced based on engine measurements and tests with various fuels. We talked to project manager Dr. Christophe Barro.
