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

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

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).

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.bsky.social

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! @tillschertenleib.bsky.social @swisschemistry.bsky.social

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 and state-of-the-art research on #materials #chemistry in 🇨🇭. 🙏 to our speakers Andrea Dodero, Julian Baumgärtner, and Andrea Venazzi. @swisschemistry.bsky.social

Right now, Prof. Marco Lattuada (Uni Fribourg) is kicking off the #materials #chemistry parallel session at the SCS Fall Meeting in Zürich, chaired by Prof. Maksym Yarema. We are seeing beautiful colloidal handles to engineering colors for diverse applications. #fm25 @swisschemistry.bsky.social

The SCS Fall Meeting 2025 has just been kicked off. Ready for a full day of interesting exchanges on chemistry in 🇨🇭 and beyond. #fm25 @swisschemistry.bsky.social

Only 10 days left! ⏰ @ all supervisors of PhD students in Switzerland. Please see below. And please spread the word.
