Side effects of antimalarial drug explained
Researchers have investigated how drugs interact with the tiny channels through which neighbouring biological cells communicate with each other. The scientists have thus provided a possible explanation for the known neuropsychiatric side effects of an antimalarial drug. In addition, the new findings could enable the development of drugs against numerous other diseases.
Digital twin for safety training
Researchers at ETH Zurich are working with Lufthansa Aviation Training to develop a complete replica of an Airbus aircraft. This digital twin will be used for safety and emergency training of cabin and cockpit crews in virtual reality.
Building bridges between people and machines
The ongoing development of artificial intelligence is often presented as a race between humans and machines. ETH professor Menna El-?Assady takes a different approach: she wants to develop an AI that can be used interactively and that shapes its capabilities only in collaboration with humans.
Final design of ELT's METIS instrument completed
METIS is the first instrument of the Extremely Large Telescope to pass its final design review.
Global effort to gather environmental DNA
Inspired by the United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity, Kristy Deiner and her research team launched “LeDNA” – a project to gather global biodiversity data from nearly 500 lakes with the help of citizen scientists in more than 80 countries.
