How to better identify dangerous volcanoes Research ETH Zurich The more water is dissolved in the magma, the greater the risk that a volcano will explode. A new ETH study now shows that this simple rule is only partially true. Paradoxically, high water content significantly reduces the risk of explosion.

PSI Recreating biology in computer language Eawag Subscribe to our fortnightly newsletter Scientists discover a highly potent antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Research EPFL Scientists at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and EPFL have discovered a highly potent monoclonal antibody that targets the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and is effective at neutralizing all variants of concern identified to date, including the delta variant. Their findings are published in the prestigious journal Cell Reports. Coronavirus Medicine Health Sciences The underground as a haven for biodiversity Research Eawag Europe has relatively low biodiversity compared to most other continents because many species became extinct during the ice ages. In subterranean ecosystems, however, which were shielded from climatic turbulences, a great diversity of ancient species were able to survive. This is the conclusion of a study on the amphipod genus Niphargus. Biodiversity Biology Environment Thriller about the cohesion contribution Politics ETH Board The National Council and the Council of States approved the cohesion contribution in the autumn session, which ended on October 1. The road to this point was rocky and full of twists and turns. A report. Research Policy Education Policy The ETH Domain strives to strengthen the competitiveness of Switzerland in the long term and contribute to the development of society through excellence in research, teaching and knowledge and technology transfer. Apprenticeship – the hidden face of Swiss research Teaching ETH Board Apprentices play a little-known but essential role in science made in Switzerland. Here, we take a look at young people who are being trained in the institutions in the ETH Domain.
