Top research at 3500 m altitude on the Jungfraujoch
The research station on the Jungfraujoch, located at almost 3500 m between the four-thousanders Jungfrau and Mönch, is now a Chemical Landmark.
Artificial plants make fuel from CO2 and sunlight
A team of European scientists at Collège de France, Paris, led by Prof. Victor Mougel, who joined ETH Zürich in December 2018, created a system that imitates plants, converting CO2, water, and sunlight into sustainable fuels and value-added chemicals.
Accessible fluorine chemistry
Although fluorine and chlorine in their gaseous form are toxic, caustic and corrosive, they are indispensable as chemical precursors. Prof. Antonio Togni and his team have developed an alternative synthetic pathway that makes fluorine chemistry more simple and attractive for chemists.
