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.
For the first time, ETH Zurich Materials Scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometre-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete.
Professor Nicola Spaldin, head of the Materials Theory group and a pioneer in multiferroic materials, will receive the prestigious Carus Medal from the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
On 27 March 2025, around 20 postdocs and senior scientists gathered at ETH Hönggerberg for an insightful session on grant proposal writing. Prof. Laura De Lorenzis and Prof. Salvador Pané i Vidal from D-MAVT covered the general principles of grant writing and successful examples from European Commission and Swiss programmes.
The conversion of CO₂ into e-fuels by light offers a sustainable solution to close the carbon cycle. Researchers at the Laboratory for Nanometallurgy have pioneered an innovative approach to plasmon-assisted catalytic CO2 conversion using nanoscale disordered network metamaterials.
