Full-text search Fulltext search 7 Resultate Sahara sun from the laboratory ETH Zurich has put an artificial sun into operation. In the room of a new laboratory, the sun shines at the push of a button, just as it does at midday in the Sahara or in January in Berlin. ETH researchers produce fuel from sunlight and air Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) have achieved a world première: They have developed a technology that produces carbon-neutral fuels using only sunlight and air. The solar refinery is already operating under real-life conditions. Sun soon to be the most important source of energy The sun is likely to become the world's most important source of energy before 2050, according to British scientists. This is the result of an analysis of technological and economic data by the University of Exeter and University College London. For the very first time in space, the ISS crew has produced meat using a 3D printer The prospect of a juicy Sunday roast in zero-gravity has just come a little closer: A Russian cosmonaut on board the International Space Station ISS has succeeded for the very first time in producing meat in space using a 3D printer. New water filter removes pathogens A research team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) has presented a prototype of a low-cost filter that efficiently decontaminates water using only sunlight. The device is intended to provide clean drinking water for people in regions with little electricity. With gold against steamed-up glasses Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a coating for eyeglasses that heats up lenses with sunlight. The invention is intended to prevent them from fogging up. Mitigating the effects of global warming with moon dust In a recent study, US scientists suggest using moon dust to combat global warming, since lunar dust shields a lot of sunlight with little mass. Other experts are critical of this method.
