Experiments by ETH Zurich computer security researchers showed that smartphones can be manipulated to allow the owner to ride Swiss trains for free. The researchers also highlighted ways of curbing such misuse.

Would you like to get to know the latest results and laboratories of ETH research into health and medicine? On 6 June 2024, ETH members are invited to visit the new GLC building. The programme offers LabTours, architectural tours and scientainment for adults and families.

The Center for Project-Based Learning D-ITET (PBL) is among the three finalists for the KITE Award 2024. The KITE Award honors particularly convincing teaching innovations and will be presented as part of the Innovation in Learning and Teaching Fair on 15 May. 

An article in Nature Communications published by the Institute of Neuroinformatic, UZH/ETH Zurich (Filippo Moro, Tristan Torchet, Yiğit Demirağ, Giacomo Indiveri and Melika Payvand) and CEA-LETI in France features DenRAM, the first hardware realization of spiking neural network with dendritic architecture. It utilizes memristive devices to implement both delay and weight parameters, enhancing low-power signal processing with reduced memory use.

Prof. Kaveh Razavi, head of the Computer Security Group, has received the Jochen Lietke Young Researcher Award at EuroSys. This award was created in 2014 by ACM EuroSys to reward junior European researchers who have demonstrated exceptional creativity and innovation in systems research, broadly construed. 

In the science programme "Einstein", Benjamin Grewe, Professor of Neuroinformatics and Neural Systems at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI), talks about how AI could learn even more about its environment and thus increasingly become a learning algorithm.

QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) unveiled its 2024 World University Rankings by Subject. In electrical and electronic engineering ETH Zurich achieved an excellent fifth place. Congratulations!
