ETH Life - the online magazine

Long distance calls by sugar molecules

All our cells wear a coat of sugar molecules, so-called glycans. ETH and Empa researchers have now discovered that glycans rearrange water molecules over long distances. This may have an effect on how cells sense each other. [19.06.13] More

Hybrid material as gold-leaf substitute

Researchers have created a hybrid material out of gold and milk proteins that looks like a wafer-thin gold leaf. It could be used in a vast range of applications from gastronomy to the jewellery industry. [18.06.13] More

Antioxidant with a long shelf life

Scientists from ETH Zurich have developed a nanomaterial that protects other molecules from oxidation. As it has a long shelf life, it is just the ticket for industrial applications. [17.06.13] More
