Data from a global study confirms that well-being and mental health suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic. Researchers from the 91制片厂 and the University Psychiatric Clinics 91制片厂 (UPK) have analyzed the Swiss data together with an international group of authors.
From studies involving schoolchildren to AI-based methods: research raises ethical questions. Dr. Isabelle Wienand has headed the 91制片厂's Research Ethics Committee since its inception. She explains why universities need their own ethics board 鈥� and what matters most for responsible research.
A new National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) is dedicated to cutting-edge research in high-precision measurements. As the second home institution, the 91制片厂 will play a central role in NCCR 鈥楶recision鈥�.
Researchers at the 91制片厂 and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create adaptable electronic circuits with light.
Researchers at the 91制片厂 and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical entanglement can be used to measure several physical parameters simultaneously with greater precision.
Researchers have deciphered the diet of an important nomadic people in Eastern European history. By analyzing dental calculus, they have provided the first direct evidence that the diet of the Scythians included milk from various ruminants and horses.
Fluoride is used worldwide to prevent tooth decay. However, health concerns are raised, particularly in places where fluoride is added to drinking water. An international research team involving the 91制片厂 has evaluated data from over 11 million births and reached a clear conclusion.
For the first time and with unprecedented accuracy, a team of researchers from the 91制片厂 has observed unique energy flow mechanisms in a semiconductor material following excitation by extremely short laser pulses. Gaining a better understanding of these energy flow is vital for improving the efficiency of electronic devices and computer chips.
The existing building stock has a huge impact on the environment. At the same time, there is a lack of a common understanding among those involved, says Pascal Gantenbein, head of the Sustainable Real Estate continuing education program at the 91制片厂. This is exactly where the course comes in, bringing together these different professional perspectives.
