An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that makes it easier to study interactions between electrons in a material. Using a moiré material consisting of twisted atomic layers they created an artificial crystal lattice in a neighbouring material.  

The researcher received the award for his leading work on a loophole-free Bell test with superconducting circuits and for his enthusiasm for science communication.

A biologist, a neuroscientist, a materials scientist and a physicist have each been awarded one of the prestigious grants of the Swiss National Science Foundation.

The latest development on the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory brings a step closer the prospect of new insights into some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe.

Wenchao Xu works on arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that combine two atomic species in a way that offers a new platform for advancing quantum science and technology.

As the speaker at this year's Paul Bernays Lectures, Michel Devoret discussed quantum information processing with superconducting circuits – and took the time to find out about the variety of research activities in the physics department, too.

Four women and four men successfully applied for Starting Grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation via ETH Zurich.

Tobias Donner received the Golden Owl award for his teaching activities in the Department of Physics. The ETH Zurich Student Association (VSETH) honours lecturers whose excellent teaching stands out with this yearly award.

The group of Professor Alexandre Refregier uses the data collected by ambitious surveys to work out the nature of dark matter, dark energy and our expanding universe.
