Read MoreFog catching provides people living in dry but foggy areas with a stable water source. But air pollution can make the collected water unsafe for use unless it is treated. Researchers led by ETH Zurich developed a system for simultaneously harvesting and cleaning the water collected from fog nets.

Read MoreContinuous glucose monitoring systems can help alleviate the mental burden of diabetes management, but there are limitations to powering current systems. Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a self-sufficient glucose monitoring system that not only registers excess glucose but initiates the release of insulin into the blood. They successfully tested the device in mice.

Read MoreStructural color is a more durable and less hazardous alternative to conventional pigments, but the angle-dependence of the color limits its broader application in synthetic systems. Researchers at ETH Zurich proposed a 3D printing process to create complex-shaped objects with angle-independent “isotropic” structural color generated from photonic colloidal glasses.
