With nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, materials can be analysed to an atomic degree of precision. ETH Zurich is home to one of the most powerful NMR spectrometers in the world – and many of its research groups have now embraced this technology.
Many biological molecules are short-lived and ephemeral. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an archive function that allows them to look into a cell’s past for the first time. This could allow scientists to get to the bottom of how cancer cells form.
