Quantum computers only work when a control system reliably delivers algorithms to the hardware while immediately detecting and correcting erroneous calculations. The ETH spin-off Qendra is developing precisely these systems, making it a player in an expanding market.
Cheaper, better, more practical: Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new method for breaking down acrylic glass almost entirely into its individual chemical building blocks – without solvents or large amounts of heat. This brings the recycling of acrylic glass within reach.
Microscopic bacteria can bind grains of sand together into solid structures. An ETH Zurich researcher is combining this process with 3D printing and robotics, thereby opening up new ways of manufacturing architectural elements.
