SCS Materials Chemistry

On June 3, 2026, D-CHAB is inviting interested school students (aged 16–19) and teachers to the TOL 2026. Visitors can look forward to exciting lab tours and workshops, short lectures + experimental show! Please spread the word!👇 Details & Registration chab.ethz.ch/outreach/oeffe…

👇Event alert + last chance to register for the #OperandoDay on 24 September at PSI. 📅 Register by 12 September: indico.psi.ch/event/17800/ 📜 Agenda: same link Thanks to our affiliated board member Maarten Nachtegaal and his team at PSI for the organization. #Operando @psich_en

@sascha_feldmann Big congrats! 👏Amazing recognition and outlook. We are already looking forward to all the many important contributions you and your team will bring to #science (including on #materials #chemistry) in Switzerland.

To join in on the fun: Very grateful that our team’s mission to advance polarization spectroscopy for enabling highly energy-efficient technologies will be supported for the next 5 years by the European Research Council (#ERC) through an ERC Starting Grant! #science #teamwork

🏆And the Prizes for the #Best #Talk of our #materials #chemistry session at the SCS #fm25 went to ... Victoria Lohmann from ETH Zürich (winner) and Andrea Dodero from AMI Fribourg (runner-up). 👏to both, and 🙏to the @Metrohm Foundation for sponsoring!

🏆And the Prizes for the #Best #Poster of our #materials #chemistry session at the SCS #fm25 went to ... Oleksandr Kolomiiets from ETH Zürich / Empa (winner) and Ioana Popa from PSI (runner-up). 👏Congrats to both! 🙏And thanks to @dsmfirmenich for sponsoring!

@michal_juricek @UZH_Chemistry @Metrohm @dsmfirmenich @TAInstruments 6/6 Last, not least: 🙏 to the professional SCS Head Office crew (@SpichigerDavid, Céline Wittwer, and Sarah Schmitz) for running this 🦣 event so smoothly! Be it when herding us into the lecture halls📯, or quietly organizing everything behind the scenes👌 #fm25 @SwissChemistry

@michal_juricek @UZH_Chemistry 5/6 🙏 to support from #industry. A special gratitude to the Metrohm Foundation and dsm-firmenich for sponsoring the prizes for our best talks and posters, and to TA instruments / Waters GmbH for presenting in our #matchem session. #fm25 @Metrohm @dsmfirmenich @TAInstruments

1/6 Now that the SCS Fall Meeting 2025 has closed, let us 🙏 the many people who brought us chemists in 🇨🇭 together today. #fm25 @SwissChemistry @UZH_Chemistry

@SwissChemistry Our afternoon speakers together with the session chair and organizer (Bastian Brand, 2nd from the right)

Their talks took us from building and disassembling polymers, over deciphering the structure of MOFs, to the solid-state chemistry of growing inorganic single crystals of quantum materials. A true pleasure. @SwissChemistry

More exciting talks by early-career scientists in #MatChem's afternoon session at SCS #fm25: Isabelle Kolly (Uni Bern), Jikson Pulparayil Mathew (Uni Basel), Valentin-Răzvan Lupu (ETH Zurich/Empa Dübendorf), Victoria Lohmann (ETH Zurich), Janek Nathanael Tangermann (Uni Geneva)

Lively discussions at the #materials #chemistry poster session at today's SCS Fall Meeting in Zürich. #fm25 #earlycareer @SwissChemistry

Prof. Maksym Yarema (ETH Zürich) taking us on a quick dive into the huge and beautiful world of metallic and intermetallic #nanocrystals. These tiny particles can be prepared in a highly uniform fashion and utilized in a wide range of applications. #fm25 @SwissChemistry

Dr. Till Schertenleib, one of our two SCS MatChem PhD Award winners, giving us a glimpse into his award-winning doctoral work at the group of Wendy Lee Queen (EPFL Lausanne). Congrats, Till, and all the best for your bright academic future! #fm25 @SwissChemistry

Our industry talk: Oliver Skarsetz from @TAInstruments / Waters GmbH on Polymer Analysis from Cradle to Grave and Beyond

From colloidal photonics over solid-state batteries to perovskite solar cells. Our morning session at the SCS #fm25 reflects the breadth of great research on #materials #chemistry in 🇨🇭. 🙏 to our speakers Andrea Dodero, Julian Baumgärtner, and Andrea Vezzosi @SwissChemistry
