Best of luck for your next adventure in Japan Dr. Pradal 🇯🇵🥳

Go check out our latest research on recyclable 3D printable hydrogels!! ♻️ Microgels are electrostatically crosslinked with a polyelectrolyte and can be reinforced with ions to form durable, self-healing underwater structures, ideal as damper or actuator!🌊pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

If you're near the @EPFL_en campus, be sure to stop by the @Materials_EPFL building, where a new #art installation gives a rare look at #engineering #materials outside the lab...and brings a new meaning to the phrase 'field of study'! @kakulya actu.epfl.ch/news/materials…

Accessible à toutes et tous, Infoscience est particulièrement utile pour les doctorant·es @EPFL 👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓, comme en témoigne Esther Amstad dans le quatrième portrait de la série "Infoscience: 20 years of Open Access" 🎬 youtube.com/watch?v=9nv9dg…

To expand our team, we are looking for a full-time Chemical Laboratory Technician (m/f/d) or similar background to start as soon as possible. Part-time employment is possible. Sharing appreciated. Job advert in German and English: lse.ls.tum.de/fileadmin/w00b…

And a new paper from SMaL is out! 🥳 We’ve developed a new DIW ink to 3D print rigid microparticles (stiffness up to 50 MPa) by adding a soft hydrogel shells. From intricate 3D printed trophy cups to flexible photonic films, the possibilities are endless! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

📣@EPFL is celebrating an important milestone this year: the 20th anniversary of Infoscience, its institutional repository. Since 2004, the platform has transformed research dissemination, impacting EPFL as well as the national & international landscapes. youtu.be/FGaECuK5Ej0?fe…

Once again, @NCCRbioinspired is happy to announce the annual open call for applications to its ever-popular Undergraduate Summer Research Internship Program. Applications are open between December 1, 2024, and January 20, 2025. Get all the details here: bit.ly/URI_2025

@HcDU92 We missed you, we will celebrate together when you come back to Lausanne! 🥳

Congratulations on this milestone of Esther and SMaL! Very proud of being one of the first generation of SMaLers. A bit sad that I could not make my trip to join the celebration in Lausanne. Looking forward to the 20th anniversary!

🌍 🌿 How can we strike a balance between the expansion of renewable energies and the preservation of biodiversity in Switzerland? This is the subject of a report written by experts from several Swiss institutions, including EPFL. Information: infoscience.epfl.ch/entities/publi…

Today we welcomed 48 students from Lausanne high school at @Materials_EPFL. Fabien Sorin introduced the SMX section and they had the chance to do some experiments in the IMX labs. Sustainable plastics, superconductivity and tribology... the subjects were varied and exciting!

Yesterday was "Oser tous les métiers" day. We had the pleasure of hosting 15 young girls and boys, they had the chance to experiment in our labs and play the role of Materials scientists! Then Stella Laperrousaz presented her research in front of a hundred children.
