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
Start-up boom thriving
With 37 new spin-offs, ETH Zurich continues its long-term upward trend in the launch of new companies from its research. Start-ups in the fields of artificial intelligence and biotechnology were particularly well represented.
ETH Zurich researcher aims to prevent urinary tract infections with a vaccine
Every second woman and every eighth man suffer from urinary tract infections. These are painful and can recur with serious health consequences. Pioneer Fellow Giorgia Greter has a solution.
Bones respond positively to external forces
Researchers aim to use vibrations to stimulate bone growth. Now, a new study paves the way for developing new therapies that may one day benefit patients suffering from bone fractures and age-related bone loss.
Dissolving clusters of cancer cells to prevent metastases
Successful test in breast cancer patients: the active agent digoxin, a cardiac medication, dissolves clusters of circulating breast cancer cells in the blood, thus reducing the risk of metastases formation.
What location data reveals about you
Location data allows rich insights into private details about our lives: where we live and work, how we spend our free time and what is important to us, says Nina Wiedemann. This poses a considerable security risk – even if we have nothing to hide.
