Self-driving taxis are coming to Zurich later this year, marking Switzerland's first robotaxi service and a major step forward for autonomous vehicles in Europe. WeRide and Uber are partnering to bring driverless rides to the city, with plans to expand across 15 cities globally by 2030.
Sheffield siblings Alex and Matt Fitzpatrick became the first brothers ever to win a PGA Tour event, capturing the Zurich Classic in a nail-biting finish. The historic victory propels younger brother Alex into the big leagues with a PGA Tour card through 2028.
Scientists at ETH Zurich just cracked a major barrier in quantum computing by storing data as tiny vibrations instead of electromagnetic signals. The breakthrough could make quantum computers smaller, more powerful, and finally practical for everyday use.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have achieved true randomness for the first time, a breakthrough that could make everything from encryption to digital security virtually unbreakable. Using quantum physics and supercooled chips, they've solved a problem that has plagued computers since their invention.
Researchers at ETH Zurich just solved one of quantum computing's biggest headaches, making these super-powerful machines dramatically more stable and reliable. The breakthrough brings us closer to computers that could revolutionize everything from medicine to climate science.
Scientists at ETH Zurich created a 97% water hydrogel that mimics how bones naturally heal, offering hope for millions facing painful surgeries. The soft material can be laser-printed into bone structures in seconds and dissolves safely in the body.
Athletes shattered two world records and thrilled 25,000 fans at Thursday's Diamond League meet in Switzerland. Perfect weather and an electric atmosphere helped create one of track and field's most memorable nights.
A Russian IT professional in Zürich ditched his crowded commute for a 1.35-kilometer swim down the city's historic moat. His underwater camera revealed a thriving urban ecosystem worth protecting.
Brazil's Alison dos Santos and America's Masai Russell both shattered world records on the same track in Zurich, proving that human limits are made to be broken. The electric evening saw barriers fall in both the 400m and 100m hurdles, with each athlete walking away $80,000 richer.
A stunning night in Zurich saw two track and field world records shattered, while Switzerland's rising star came within half a second of breaking athletics' oldest outdoor mark. Over 25,000 fans witnessed history as Brazil's Alison dos Santos and America's Masai Russell rewrote the record books.
A Swiss researcher has cracked the code on making solar heat cheap enough for factories to ditch natural gas. His simple design could finally bring renewable energy to the industrial processes that generate up to 150°C heat.
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered that Venus, Earth's sister planet, still has active volcanoes today. Their breakthrough computer modeling overturns decades of assumptions about the supposedly dead planet.
United Arab Emirates University earned more US patents than any other UAE institution in 2025, placing 67th worldwide alongside ETH Zurich. The milestone marks 50 years of research turning ideas into real-world solutions.
Researchers at ETH Zurich discovered a compound that protects brain cells by stopping harmful protein clusters from forming. In mice, the treatment slowed nerve damage, extended lifespan, and could lead to the first Alzheimer's therapy targeting a completely new biological pathway.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have identified a molecular trigger that actively causes common tendon injuries, opening the door to new treatments for millions of athletes and older adults. The discovery could transform how doctors treat conditions that currently leave many patients without good options.
Researchers at ETH Zurich discovered a protein called HIF1 that triggers painful tendon injuries, opening the door to better treatments. Turning off the protein protected tendons even under heavy strain.
Researchers at ETH Zurich created a breakthrough catalyst that transforms carbon dioxide into methanol more efficiently than ever before. By using single atoms instead of metal clumps, they've opened a pathway to climate-neutral fuel production.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a quantum system that generates truly random encryption codes that even future quantum computers can't crack. This breakthrough could protect our passwords, bank accounts, and personal data for decades to come.
Researchers at ETH Zurich just 3D printed an entire robot hand in a single process, complete with bones, joints, tendons, and touch sensors that mimic human anatomy. This breakthrough brings us closer to creating robots that move and feel like living creatures.
Scientists discovered Earth stayed habitable only because oxygen levels hit a perfect sweet spot 4.6 billion years ago. Too much or too little oxygen during planet formation, and life-essential elements would have vanished.
