On Nov. 28th, our group gathered together to celebrate incoming holiday season and farewell to Jiachen, Stratos, and Yinyin.  

We provide an in-depth review for the mechanisms governing light outcoupling in a perovskite thin-film LED stack and the strategies improving its quantum efficiencies.  

The Alfred Werner Scholarship Program of the SCS Foundation, financed by private donors and the Swiss chemical and pharmaceutical industries, supports highly talented students who earned their BSc degree abroad and perform their Master’s studies in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Pharmaceutical Sciences at a Swiss University or Federal Institute of Technology. This year, the committee selected Tudor Lile, Derek Ong Boon Hong, and Leonardo Kudsk Holberg from D-CHAB. Get to know them!

Kevin Porter and Till Zellweger shared their work on memristive devices last week at the Memrysis conference in Seoul, South Korea.

With the 2024 ETH Zurich Chemical Engineering Medal, the ICB recognizes Prof. Dr. Johan Rockström's cutting-edge research on absolute sustainability and the planetary boundaries framework. These approaches are now being applied to the environmental assessment of chemical processes. Join us in the award ceremony & lecture on January 17, 2025 where Prof. Rockström will talk about “Advancing the Planetary Boundary Framework for World Stewardship of Earth”.

Whether for cling film or hydrogen production, in chemistry, everything strives for efficient, inexpensive catalysts. Surprisingly, little is known about how they work on a molecular level. Prof. Murielle Delley from the University of Basel aims to change this and is developing methods to promote the production of more efficient, sustainable catalysts. She has now been awarded the 2024 Ruzicka Prize for her work on the controlled surface modification of cobalt phosphide with sulfur. A portrait.

On 6 December 2024, eight doctoral students and postdocs followed an invitation by the Competence Center for Materials and Processes (MaP) Doctoral School Small track on an excursion to Basel. They were curious about the new ETH D-BSSE building and the research of two of the MaP research groups located there.

In this publication, we explore the progress in research on three-dimensional artificial spin ice, emphasizing the primary methods for fabricating and characterizing these structures. Additionally, we highlight emerging frontiers in the field, including advancements in creating 3D model systems and promising applications in areas like sensing and computing.
