Six ETH Zurich researchers, working in the areas of artificial intelligence, robotics, biomedicine, chemistry and statistics, are being awarded prestigious Starting Grants from the European Research Council.
A new method allows whole legumes to be converted into tasty products with a fibrous structure. The technique is so simple that it can even be applied at home.
For a long time, so-called satellite DNA was considered largely worthless. Now, ETH Zurich researchers have shown in fruit flies that these repetitive sections of genetic material act as a kind of barcode, enabling the correct chromosomes to recognise one another.
