Tyres instead of a plug: electric buses that charge during operation
From the street straight into the battery: the ETH spin-off Winduction has developed a wireless charging system that charges electric buses via its wheels at bus stops. This technology is expected to significantly reduce the costs of running a bus line.

Accuracy where it matters most: How SonoSight brings precision ultrasound to neurosurgery
Dr Isaac Esteban Varela, a research fellow at D-ITET and ETH Pioneer Fellow, is developing SonoSight – a platform that combines ultrasound therapy with real-time imaging and treatment monitoring. We spoke with him about overcoming the challenges of brain surgery, navigating the translation from lab to clinic, and why clinical adoption hinges on design.
