How can an energy grid be restarted again quickly after an outage? How do companies prepare their systems for disruptions? ZHAW researcher Matteo Spada is investigating the resilience of “critical (...)
The production and recycling of lithium batteries requires a lot of energy. Researchers from the ZHAW have supported a start-up with an impressive solution for used batteries from electric bikes.
In her Master's thesis, Patricia Krayer investigated what a vegan world might look like in the future. The results not only came as a surprise to her, but also attracted national attention.
