New, high-resolution models merge weather and climate
|
Torrential rain and flooding have dominated the weather over the past few weeks. To forecast these weather events with greater accuracy and gain a better understanding of them against the backdrop of global climate change, ETH Zurich and partners, including Empa, are developing a new generation of high-resolution weather and climate models.

Effectively removing CO2 from the atmosphere
|
Researchers at the PSI and ETH Zurich have investigated the extent to which direct capture of CO2 from the ambient air can help to effectively remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The result: With careful planning, for example with regard to location and provision of the necessary energy, CO2 can be removed in a climate-effective manner.

| Swimming robot gives fresh insight into locomotion and neuroscience |
Thanks to their swimming robot modeled after a lamprey, EPFL scientists may have discovered why some vertebrates are able to retain their locomotor capabilities after a spinal cord lesion. The finding could also help improve the performance of swimming robots used for search and rescue missions and for environmental monitoring.
