ETH Zurich opens a second
Student Project House
on its Zentrum campus. Students can turn their own ideas into reality in generously equipped rooms. The university wants to encourage students to use these new facilities to initiate and engage in projects that don’t feature on the curriculum.
ETH researchers come to a surprising conclusion when they examine the effect of
green tea
. They find that rather than suppressing oxidative stress in the body’s cells as previously assumed, green tea promotes it. It remains nevertheless healthy because it strengthens the body’s defence mechanisms.
Based on
245 volcanic eruptions
, ETH researchers are able to reconstruct how the events in the magma chamber influence the type of a volcanic eruption. The key factors are how much water is dissolved in the magma and how many solid crystals are in the melt.
ETH Zurich makes a special appearance at the
Olma
, the largest Swiss trade fair for agriculture and nutrition. Using interactive games, the university provides visitors with valuable background knowledge while demonstrating how the digital transformation is set to change agriculture.
