Emma NelsonHOST
Thank you so much for that.
Emma NelsonHOST
That was Ulrike Lohmann, Professor of Atmospheric Physics at ETH Zurich.
Emma NelsonHOST
You're listening to The Globalist on Monocle Radio.
Emma NelsonHOST
Now let's take a closer look at the global art market.
Parag MallickHOST
Priyanka completed her PhD in chemistry with Professor Michaela Vendruscolo at Cambridge and was awarded a junior research fellowship to build her independent research program in Professor Sir Chris Dobson's lab at Cambridge.
Parag MallickHOST
She then later completed research with Paola Picotti at ETH Zurich and then an additional bit of training with Dr. Dennis Titov at UC Berkeley.
Parag MallickHOST
And her lab at Georgetown investigates biophysical mechanisms by which metabolites contribute to protein homeostasis.
Parag MallickHOST
A lot of her work focuses on what are known as intrinsically disordered proteins.

Priyanka JoshiGUEST
Yeah.
Priyanka JoshiGUEST
You can also use mass spectrometry.
Priyanka JoshiGUEST
And that's one of the techniques that I learned in Paola Picotti's lab at ETH Zurich, which was limited proteolysis, mass spec based proteomics, which is essentially looking at the exposed regions of, you know, these like different regions of these proteins, these disordered proteins.
Priyanka JoshiGUEST
So that is also one of the other techniques that one can use.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
The system is a spinal cord implant that stimulates muscles allowing them to move again.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
Gregoire Courtine, a neuroscientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and co-leader of the study, stated that this technology was for the most serious form of spinal cord injury.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
That means individuals with clinically complete spinal injury, no sensation, no movement in the legs.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
He also added that the technology could be used for anyone with a spinal cord injury that occurred above the lower rib cage.
Scotty KilmerHOST
There are researchers that have made a walking thing from the Adams family.
Scotty KilmerHOST
Soft Robotics Lab, ETH Zurich, has a robotic hand that walks around, believe it or not.
Scotty KilmerHOST
You watch the YouTube video.
Scotty KilmerHOST
It's insane.
ParzivalHOST
And those jiggles are real.
ParzivalHOST
In 2022, a team at ETH Zurich measured them at two spots, at moments so close together that not even light could have crossed the gap, and the jiggles were linked anyway.
ParzivalHOST
Theory says the jiggles in one patch of empty space are entangled with the jiggles in every other patch.
ParzivalHOST
That goes back to a theorem from 1961.
Lisa MaierGUEST
My interest in the microbiome was already before.
Lisa MaierGUEST
So before I was at ETH in Zurich, where I did a PhD on the role of the gut microbiome in salmonella infections.
Lisa MaierGUEST
So it was more like how microbes protect us from infections.
Lisa MaierGUEST
And actually, to have a salmonella infection in a mouse model, you have to have an antibiotic treatment.
Kim KomandoHOST
Okay, so now we have a real life cousin.
Kim KomandoHOST
ETH Zurich Soft Robotics Lab have turned a store-bought robotic hand that costs around $16,000 into a hand that walks on its fingertips.
Kim KomandoHOST
Right.
Kim KomandoHOST
And it's supposed to be like a helper? It is.
Mark ReierNARRATOR
Experts often cite Jupiter and its formidable gravity as a potential barrier that would prevent pebbles from flying in from the outer solar system.
Mark ReierNARRATOR
The new model relies on several simplifications, so trying to determine exactly what proportion of pebbles went into making Earth and Mars is out of the question, said Paolo Sassi, a planetary scientist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, who was not involved with the new study.
Mark ReierNARRATOR
But Dr. Saucy added that Earth's volatile depletion pattern strongly hints that multiple types of building blocks were involved in its construction.
Mark ReierNARRATOR
And this new study implies that pebbles could be allowed in the formation of the Earth, he said.
