Water electrolyzers are promising devices that use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. If powered by solar cells or other renewable energy technologies, they could contribute to the sustainable production ...
Engineering
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the main gases contributing to climate change on Earth. Removing this gas directly from the air could help to limit climate change, alongside other efforts to reduce emissions from industrial ...
Hardware
When designing new computer chips, engineers need to make various decisions about how to connect their underlying components while efficiently using limited space. Planning these connections involves combinatorial optimization, ...
Robotics
We are used to seeing images of humanoid robots clumsily walking, stumbling over objects and awkwardly freezing in place. Struggling with real-world movement is one of the biggest drawbacks of current robotics. But now a ...

Some advances in AI technology are undoubtedly positive, like helping write code faster or discovering new medicines. But others can give us pause for thought.
Engineering
Solar cells, devices that convert energy from sunlight into electricity, are being deployed in increasing numbers in many countries. While most cells on the market today are based on silicon, recent studies have highlighted ...
Energy & Green Tech
While lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, energy engineers have been testing various alternatives with different underlying chemistries. These include lithium-sulfur ...
Robotics
For many of us, the last—and only—time we've seen a walking hand was Thing in "The Addams Family" movies or TV series. Now there's another. Engineers from the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich have adapted an off-the-shelf ...
Robotics
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a human-like body structure, could assist people in homes, offices, health care facilities, public spaces and various other environments. Before they can be reliably deployed in these ...
Energy & Green Tech
Many chemical processes require hydrogen, which is still being produced from fossil fuels. A protonic ceramic electrolyzer cell (PCEC) is a device that can produce hydrogen from water at temperatures that match key industrial ...
