2024

The ANGIE research project was honored with the «Prototypes for Humanity Award» in the «Health» category. At the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab of the D-MAVT, Fabian Landers and his team are developing magnetically controlled microcapsules that precisely release drugs in the human body.

We are excited to announce that our EDX MOOC course Microrobotics is now online and open for public enrolment! The online course is updated every Tuesday and Thursday, and will end on December 24th, 2024. Join us now to embark on an incredible journey into the world of microrobots!

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new way to break down a dangerous subgroup of PFAS known as PFOS. With the help of nanoparticles and ultrasound, piezocatalysis could offer an effective alternative to existing processes in the future.

Researchers from our Multi-Scale Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have succeeded for the first time in using remote control to perform a magnetic endoscopy on a live pig. The researchers controlled the probe from Zurich while the animal was on the operating table in Hong Kong.

Andrea Veciana presented her research on the degradation of PFAS using piezoelectric nanoparticles at the MaP Graduate Symposium. She showcased her work with a poster and received both the MaP Best Poster Award and the MaP People's Poster Award. Congratulations!
