Towards Real-Time Detection of Cracks in Train Wheelset Axles
Early detection of cracks in train wheelset axles is critical for railway safety. Work led by Ehsan Naghizadeh introduces Higher-Order Transmissibility (HOTr), a feature derived from nonlinear vibration signatures, together with an efficient reduced-order modeling strategy that dramatically accelerates crack identification and opens the door to near real-time in-service monitoring.
Counter-propagating spontaneous parametric down-conversion source in lithium niobate on insulator
We show a new type of photon pair source on TFLN using counter propagating Type0 SPDC, producing uncorrelated and separated photons that can be used for quantum computing and communications.

Our chemical apprentice Ms. Ilirida Mahmudi shared her insights
Ms. Ilirida Mahmudi, who is the chemical engineering apprentice hosted by our group has recently shared her insights and experience on media and career fair (Lehrstellen-Galerie).
Prof. Ken Albrecht visited us
Prof. Ken Albrecht from Kyushu University JP visited us on Mar. 6 2026. He delivered a ICB recommended seminar about his recent research in particular about doublet emission from radical emitters.
How boron helps to produce key proteins for new cancer therapies
Chemists led by Jeffrey Bode have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein therapeutics, including cancer treatments.

D-CHAB Alumnae and where to find them
Students at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences enjoy a broad education. But what (unexpected) opportunities unfold after graduation, and to what extent does this education prepare students for the world beyond university? To mark the International Women's Day 2026 on March 8, three D-CHAB alumnae share their career paths and personal experiences.
We attended the AMR Conference 2026 in Basel
Thank you for the insightful discussions!
