Quantum computers still face limits when it comes to storing information. Researchers at ETH Zurich are now turning to mechanical vibrations rather than electromagnetic memory. Their new vibrating memory can store significantly more information in a smaller volume. Combined with a suitable computer architecture, it also enables the efficient solution of complex computational problems.
Every cloud droplet starts as an invisible particle, but the precise process of its formation remains unclear. Mayur Sapkal has created an instrument to study this process and is using it to improve the accuracy of climate predictions.
Approximately two years after signing a joint letter of intent with the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, ETH Zurich is inaugurating a new campus in Heilbronn, with numerous guests from politics, industry and academia in attendance.
