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 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 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 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.
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 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 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.
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 protein called HIF1 that triggers painful tendon injuries, opening the door to better treatments. Turning off the protein protected tendons even under heavy strain.
Scientists just solved one of quantum computing's biggest problems: how to run calculations while fixing errors at the same time. This breakthrough brings us closer to quantum computers that can actually tackle real-world challenges.
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.
