A collaboration between researchers at the ETH Zurich Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology and Empa has shown that Pd-based metallic glass demonstrates thrombogenic resistance that is substantially higher than that of state-of-the-art Ti64. With its superior mechanical properties, the Pd-based glass is particularly interesting for blood-contacting, load-bearing medical devices. The results are presented in Advanced Functional Materials.chevron_right

The group of Polymeric Materials, in collaboration with the group of Soft and Living Materials, have developed a low-energy nanoemulsion method to produce nanoparticles with various morphologies.chevron_right

Manfred Fiebig received the prize for pioneering nonlinear optical spectroscopy studies that led to a fundamental understanding of the emergence and coupling of electric and magnetic orders at the level of domains and domain walls. The prize will be awarded at the 2022 March Meeting of the American Physical Society in Chicago.chevron_right

In the latest work published on Small, researchers from the Soft and Living Materials group, inspired by living organisms, demonstrate a simple method to dramatically increase the refractive index of commercial polymers. chevron_right
