Welcome to ForzaETH, a passionate team of students from ETH Zurich.We are delighted to share our world of robotics with you. Have you ever wondered how a car learns to drive itself? That is exactly what we explore here, building small, intelligent racing cars that navigate tracks using advanced software and sensors – it is […]
Welcome to AMZ Racing—where passion drives innovation, and dedication powers performance. We are a dynamic team of engineering students committed to designing, building, and racing high-performance single-seat race cars. Competing annually in the prestigious Formula Student competition, we pit our skills against over 100 universities worldwide. From initial concept to the roaring finish line, we […]
Two drones and no human pilot. In this live demonstration, autonomous drones speed through a course marked by rectangular gates. Their only view of the world comes from an onboard camera: no GPS, no external motion-tracking system and no remote pilot telling them where to go. Just as a human racer watches the track and […]
Hyperloop is considered one of the most revolutionary transportation technologies of our time: Passengers and cargo could one day travel between cities at speeds exceeding 1,000 km/h—faster than any airplane, quieter than any train, and using a fraction of the energy. Swissloop is the Hyperloop student team at ETH Zurich. We are developing a prototype […]

Why does dough rise? Why do foods change their colour, texture, or structure? And why do some recipes work perfectly while others fail? In Science in Your Kitchen, Prof. Patrick Rühs and Prof. Thomas Michaels take the audience on a scientific journey through the world of cooking. Moving seamlessly between kitchen and laboratory, they use […]
Can an object disappear even though it’s still there? How do you instantly turn the invisible visible – and the visible invisible? Why does an arrow suddenly point in the wrong direction? How do vibrant colors emerge from completely colorless material? And how do you make an object float freely in the air? In this […]

Can you trust your eyes? How does our perception come about, and why does our brain sometimes deceive us? In this extraordinary show, physicist and magician Thomas Fraps combines astonishing illusions with fascinating scientific insights. Experience how your brain constructs a picture of reality from sensory impressions—and how easily it can be deceived in the […]
Immerse yourself in a world where colors light up and substances react with each other in spectacular ways. In this chemistry show, experiments take place right before your eyes, chemical reactions become visible, and science comes to life. The show combines fascinating experiments with easy-to-understand explanations and demonstrates how chemistry shapes our everyday lives and […]
A comfortable knit sweater that draws attention to critical human rights issues? A light jacket with roots in cell biology? A sweater that embodies the fundamental laws of astrophysics? The Art x Science knitwear collection by the University of Zurich brings together artists, designers, and scientists from a wide range of disciplines. The goal: to […]

Rings of smoke fly through the air, clouds seem to appear out of nowhere, and laser beams produce sounds. Raphael Oldani and Elena Santana, alias ‘Professor and Profesora Bummbastic’, take young and old alike on a fascinating journey through scientific phenomena. Joining them is the humanoid robot NAO. Children are invited to join in and […]
Cooking is far more than just following a recipe – it is an art. Cooking requires a fine sense of how the combination of ingredients defines the final taste and textures. Yet, part of the process can be recast in terms of physical mechanisms that once we understand them will allow us to control precisely […]

When one thinks of monastic music, Gregorian chants often come to mind. But monastic music did not end with the Middle Ages. This presentation sheds light on musical life in women’s monasteries during this century and the last. The Schola of the Institute of Musicology will perform specific works to accompany the lecture. In Switzerland […]
