Asgard Archaea May Hold the Key to the Origins of Eukaryotic Life, New Study Suggests
Asgard archaea, a group of single-celled organisms, may hold clues to the evolution of eukaryotic cells. Researchers at ETH Zurich have identified cytoskeletal proteins similar to those in eukaryotes, challenging the traditional three-domain model of life. Their findings suggest these microbes might have enabled key interactions that led to complex...

Ocean Acidification Study: Carbon Emissions Driving Deeper Chemical Changes in Oceans
A study in Science Advances by researchers from ETH Zurich highlights the escalating depth of ocean acidification, driven by carbon emissions since the industrial era. By 2014, acidification had penetrated to an average depth of 1,000 metres, with some regions affected as deep as 1,500 metres. Using a 3D model, the study explores the altered marine...

Say Goodbye To Hangovers? New Gel Shows Promise In Reducing Blood Alcohol Levels
The gel intercepts alcohol in the digestive tract, breaking it down into less-toxic acetic acid, thus preventing the production of acetaldehyde, the primary cause of hangover symptoms.

Earth's Formation Explained With the Help of New Theory Using Laboratory Experiments, Computer Simulations
In a recent study to understand the composition of the Earth, researchers at ETH Zurich created dynamic models and simulated the formation of planets. Researchers ran simulations and collided thousands of planetesimals with each other in the early solar system. They observed that a mixture of several different planetesimals could lead to Earth's co...
