A new artificial skin, developed by researchers in Pisa, features an ETH chip. This computer chip mimics the human nervous system, enabling it to reliably and rapidly detect touch. The technology could pave the way for advancements in robots, prosthetics, and wearable devices.
Sika is participating as a funding partner in ETH Zurich’s “Living Lab HIL” project. With a significant financial contribution, Sika is supporting the early project phases “Exploration” (2026), “Synthesis” (2027) and “Transfer” (2028). During these stages, the renovation and expansion of the ETH building for architecture and civil engineering will be prepared and designed as a real-life case study for circular, resource-efficient and digital construction.
Vulkane sind der sichtbare Ausdruck von Magmen, die ihre Reise etwa 200 Kilometer unter der Erdoberfläche beginnen. Wie diese tiefen Magmen entstehen, hat nun ein Forschungsteam der ETH Zürich und der Carnegie Institution for Science untersucht.
