Together with 36 students, the team of the 6th semester OC IV course – taught by Professor Chen and Dr. Tsybizova – recently traveled to Basel to attend the lecture of Nobel Laureate Professor Roald Hoffman, whose work is a central component of the course. The trip was a unique opportunity for the students to get to know him. It was supported by the Camile and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, the organizers of the Roald Hoffmann’s Dreyfus Lectureship.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that enables time-resolved measurements of electron motion in water clusters lasting only a few attoseconds. The technique can be used for more detailed studies of water as well as faster electronics.
Welcome Prof. Dr. Yohei Yamauchi
The Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences welcomes Prof. Dr. Yohei Yamauchi. He started as Full Professor of Molecular Medicin on July 1. His research is dedicated to the molecular understanding of viral diseases, with an emphasis on pro-viral cellular mechanisms. We wish Yohei Yamauchi a successful start and look forward to working with him.
In science, it is better to work together than alone and sometimes such collaborations lead to a true revolution. This is what happened in the 1970s, when the Institute of Physical Chemistry at ETH Zurich, together with Bruker, ushered in a new era of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, significantly expanding the possibilities for chemical analyses in the materials and life sciences. Now, SCNAT honored both sites with the Chemical Landmark. A historical journey.
