Mathematical structure permeates the natural world. Dr. Fathauer’s work blends mathematics with organic and inorganic forms from nature. This synthesis allows him to create novel and compelling artworks, realized as prints and ceramic sculptures. These derive their appeal from juxtapositions such as complexity and order; movement and balance; and geometric…

Semiconductor Technology: How nanosheets can help humanity keep up with Moore’s law Ever since its inception, Moore’s law has been an integral part of technological advancement. In the past five decades, the semiconductor industry has been following Moore’s trend line to approximately double the number of transistors on a chip…

Sebastian Vogler is developing a global timber tracking network, which allows seamless traceability of wood back to its exact origin of growth – combining in-situ marking devices, EO-forest monitoring, and AI.

It is a breakthrough for mathematics to have its own International Day (IDM) every year on March 14, proclaimed by UNESCO. It follows an open, participative approach to connect all through a central portal, an interactive event map, activities, calls, videos, etc. The first IDM “Mathematics is Everywhere” was held…

HOW INNOVATIVE HEALTHCARE FINANCE INCREASES TREATMENT COVERAGE FOR HIV, MALARIA AND TB Today’s major imbalances between the haves and the have-nots of the developing world and richer countries, together with the local and international conflicts of the 21st century, are pushing healthcare finance into a completely new era, where private…

Air pollutants influence acute respiratory diseases. Personal exposure to particulate matter and trace gases is complex to investigate as the distribution of air pollutants can be heterogeneous. Official monitoring stations are sparse. Deployment of low-cost air quality sensors in a network of citizen scientists achieves physical closeness to the persons…

Quantum teleportation allows a “disembodied” transmission of unknown quantum states between distant quantum systems. Yet, all teleportation experiments to date were limited to a two-dimensional subspace of quantized multiple levels of the quantum systems. Here, Manuel Erhard and colleagues propose a scheme for teleportation of arbitrarily high-dimensional photonic quantum states…

To overcome the inconvenience of finding lost items on campus, Marianne Chang proposes the use of a lost and found app to geotag the found items. Simple, convenient, and smart!

Aldo Steinfeld (PhD University of Minnesota, 1989) is a full professor at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich, where he holds the professorship for renewable energy sources. From 2004-2014, he headed the Solar Engineering Laboratory at the Paul Scherrer Institute. At ETH, he was head of…
