Warm welcome to Lara Perren
We welcome Lara to the CMD family! Lara reinforces the direction of intermetallic nanocrystals, working with low-melting bimetallic compositions and their phase-change properties.
Chun-Wei, welcome back!
We are happy to continue a great experimental journey with Chun-Wei. Welcome back, Chun-Wei!
Welcome to Hanglin!
Hanglin He starts his Master Thesis in the CMD group today! We welcome Hanglin warmly and wish him a lot of experimental luck.
CMD featured 2 talks and a poster at the 2022 MRS Fall Meeting
2022 MRS Fall in Boston was the first conference, where the CMD research unit has had a group presence.
Materials science students to reinforce the CMD lab
This semester, we welcome Chun-Wei Chang and Xuandong Kou for their semester research projects. Both students are enrolled in the master program at the Dept. Materials. We are happy to attract some attention of other departments!
Welcome back, Darijan!
Darijan starts his Bachelor thesis in our group, back-to-back with the group research project in HS2021. We are happy to see you rejoining our Institute. Welcome back, Darijan!
Welcome to Hyeon!
Hyeon Ko, a master student from Dept. Materials, joins our group for the research semester project. Warm welcome to Hyeon and good luck for all planned syntheses!
Blood diagnostics modelled on leeches
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a safe and inexpensive device for reliable blood measurements. It works using a suction cup and could also be employed to diagnose the tropical disease malaria – even by non-medical personnel.
How the plant world shapes the climate cycle
In order to understand the Earth's resilience, researchers at ETH Zurich are modelling climate changes from times long past. And they show: Plants are not simply victims of circumstances, but have helped to shape climate conditions on Earth.
ETH Zurich spin-offs develop high performance batteries
The electrification of many areas of life is leading to an increased demand for high-performance batteries. Two ETH spin-offs are making waves in this field: while BTRY develops high-performance solid-state batteries, 8inks is working on a new standard for production.
A new direction for cancer research
In collaboration with University Hospital Basel, researchers from ETH are investigating the early stages of bladder cancer. Their findings show that future research should also focus on mechanical changes in tumour tissue.
AI designs new drugs based on protein structures
A new computer process developed by chemists at ETH Zurich makes it possible to generate active pharmaceutical ingredients quickly and easily based on a protein’s three-dimensional surface. The new process could revolutionise drug research.
