Terahertz Waves Go Nano
In a joint collaboration Juerg Leuthold (D-ITET) and Jerome Faist (D-PHYS), together with Larry Dalton from the University of Washington, Department of Chemistry, Seattle, USA, show a terahertz detector on a silicon chip in Nature Communications. The two lead authors of the paper, Yannick Salamin (D-ITET) and Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus (D-PHYS) see in this demonstration an enormous potential for future ultrasensitive broadband spectroscopy and telecommunication.

Hackathon on Permafrost attracts more than 80 participants
The mountains are changing: permafrost is receding, rockslides can be the result. Over many years, Jan Beutel and Matthias Meyer from the Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory (TIK) have collected a series of images and data that is unique in the world. They invited students and researchers to analyse them in a hackathon which took place in the CAB building over the week-end of November 28-30. It attracted around 85 students and staff members from various ETH departments.
