New sample analyses by researchers at ETH Zurich point to a surprising origin for the asteroid Bennu: rather than forming far out in the Solar System, Bennu's parent body probably emerged in a special transition zone near the water-ice line, where temperatures were cold enough for water to freeze, at a time when Jupiter itself was still growing.
The question to whether the Moon ever possessed an internal magnetic field is a matter of debate. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have opted for a new method to show that a mechanism once existed on the Moon that is still active on Earth today.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a light-sensitive material from which they can produce tiny, coloured light-emitting pixels – potential building blocks for particularly small and sharp screens.
