Advanced Materials Transformation Map for the World Economic Forum
Professors from D-MATL have curated a Transformation Map for the World Economic Forum on the topic of “Advanced Materials”. World experts are yearly contacted by the WEF to produce interactive maps on specific topics of societal and technological importance and to illustrate their global connectivity.
Researchers of the Laboratory for Mesoscopic Systems with colleagues at the Paul Scherrer Institute, the University of Oxford and the Max Plank Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids have developed a pioneering X-ray technique to probe the 3D orientation of a material’s building blocks at the nanoscale. The technique allows the visualization of crystal grains, grain boundaries and defects - critical factors that govern material performance.
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.
Research team led by the Laboratory for Soft Materials and Interfaces have created microcapsule arrays that can simultaneously record the different history of stress levels by changing color. This technology enables monitoring microscale damage and pressure in materials.
The MaP Doctoral School hosted its 2024 onboarding event at the Dozentenfoyer last Tuesday, 12 November. Around 60 doctoral students gathered to connect, exchange ideas, and enjoy Zurich’s iconic views over the city and lake. This year’s event focused entirely on building connections — true to the school's motto: “Connecting doctoral students.”
