ETH Zurich has new guidelines for policy-related engagement and science-based policy advice. They offer guidance for ETH members. Benedikt Knüsel, Head of the Science-Policy Interface, explains the key issues for the dialogue between science and policy.
Exploring the applications of robotic fabrication, the "Fluid Forms" project showcases an innovative robotic additive manufacturing method that enables the printing of doubly curved thin shells more efficiently.
A research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute has spectroscopically observed fractionalisation of electronic charge in an iron-based metallic ferromagnet. Experimental observation of the phenomenon is not only of fundamental importance. Since it appears in an alloy of common metals at accessible temperatures, it holds potential for future exploitation in electronic devices.
