Lara, welcome back!
We are excited to host Lara for a master thesis, starting today! The plans are ambitious, good luck for your experiments, Lara!
Maksym delivers two talks and a poster at ECIS2024
Over 700 scientists gathered for the annual ECIS2024 conference, hosted by the European Colloid & Interface Society. An amazing experience - new friends, sunny Copenhagen, and a wealth of new ideas in colloidal science!
Hanglin publishes his Master Thesis in Advanced Electronic Materials
Phase change memory devices are high-performance but costly to fabricate. Our paper explores drop-on-demand inkjet printing as a cost-effective alternative. We provide a guide to optimal printing parameters, examine structural properties, and demonstrate non-volatile, cyclable printed phase change memory devices.
Paper on Cu-Ge-Te nanoparticles in Chemistry of Materials
Our amide-promoted synthesis is amazingly universal! We used it to develop a full-fledged approach for Cu-Ge-Te nanoparticles. Various phases, unconventional phase-change properties, in-situ crystallization, and more in our recent Chemistry of Materials paper
Dhananjey defends his PhD thesis
We are extremely happy to have graduated Dhananjey from the CMD lab. Congratulations, Dr. Dhananjeya Kumaar! Wishing you immense success in applying your natural talents and the skills honed during your studies. Thank you for being a pioneer in everything! What a journey was it!
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.
Simon made it to Nature Communications
We are extremely happy to have published our intuitive model for amorphous tellurides materials! It explains structural dynamics, crystallization mechanism, ideal glass, and nanoscale effects in phase-change memory tellurides
Martina Rau, how should AI be used in children’s education?
AI is now ubiquitous in our daily lives. Whether it’s digital or analogue, people who don’t put in the cognitive work won’t benefit in the end, writes education researcher Martina Rau.
A new trick brings stability to quantum operations
Researchers at ETH Zurich have realised particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms. Since these operations, called quantum gates, are based on geometric phases they are extremely robust against experimental noise and can be used in quantum computers in the future.
The future of urban traffic management
At ETH Zurich, Grace Kagho is building a digital twin of her hometown Lagos. As a researcher and an entrepreneur, she is working to make her data-driven approach to sustainable urban planning available to cities worldwide.
One of the most prestigious medical research awards bestowed on proteomics pioneer Ruedi Aebersold
ETH Professor Emeritus Ruedi Aebersold, together with John Yates from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, USA, and Matthias Mann from the Max Planck Institute in Martinsried, Germany, has been honoured with the prestigious Canada Gairdner International Award. The three scientists founded and shaped modern proteomics research.
ETH Earth observation centre moves to Root
The new location of ETH Swiss GeoLab in the Canton of Lucerne has been decided: the centre of competence for Earth observation will be established at D4 Business Village in the municipality of Root. This location stands out for its attractive business environment, good public transport connections to Zurich and immediate availability of scalable space.
