The Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences (D-CHAB) has a long tradition of outstanding research, recognized by several Nobel Prizes.
Giuseppe Antoniazzi (Wennemers Group) is developing a diagnostic toolkit that gives early warning of fibrotic diseases. The Pioneer Fellow aims to contribute to the early detection of tissue scarring, which is usually noticed too late. Learn more 👇 ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
Spread the word! On Aug. 7, 2025, it's time for “Girls go Chemistry”! The D-CHAB in cooperation with WINS is inviting interested girls (aged 12–15) to an open lab day. 📢Find details about the event and registration here 👇Deadline: July 31. 2025. chab.ethz.ch/outreach/oeffe…
Congratulations to the Swiss delegation, which won three bronze medals and an honorary mention at the International #ChemistryOlympiad 2025 in the United Arab Emirates!👇 chemistry.olympiad.ch/de/news/news/m…
Three young chemistry talents from D-CHAB - Magdalena Lederbauer, Cosima Brudy, Eva J. Meeus - had the honor of attending the 2025 Lindau Chemistry Nobel Laureate Meeting 2025. In a blog post they describe their experiences. Read more! 👇 ethambassadors.ethz.ch/2025/07/17/con…
Together with their collaboration partners, scientists led by Christophe Copéret & Javier Pérez-Ramírez developed a method to study the atomic environments of single platinum atoms. This will help to find new catalytic materials. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev… doi.org/10.1038/s41586…
Scientists led by Ruth Signorell discovered the spontaneous formation of urea on aqueous surfaces from carbon dioxide & ammonia. Its formation illustrats how urea may have accumulated on Early Earth. Check out their work! 👇 doi.org/10.1126/scienc… ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
Congratulations to Sarbajit Banerjee @SarbajitBanerj1 who wins the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Centenary Prize for new insights into structure and chemical bonding, and for excellence in communicating chemical principles. #RSCPrizes ethz.ch/staffnet/en/ne…
Scientists led by Maksym Kovalenko @KovalenkoLab at ETH Zurich and @Empa_CH developed a new image sensor made of perovskite. This material enables better colour reproduction and fewer image artefacts with less light. Learn more: ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev… doi.org/10.1038/s41586…
The French-American chemist Marie Perrin (Mougel Group) has been selected as one of the ten finalists for the European Patent Office’s Young Inventors Prize 2025 and received the prize in the "World Builder" category! Learn more reading our news: ethz.ch/staffnet/en/ne…
To all researchers: Nominations for the #RuzickaPrize are open until Sept. 14, 2025! Spread the word! To get you in the mood, we are taking a look back at previous prize winners in a series of posts. In our first chat, Detlef Günther shares his thoughts. chab.ethz.ch/en/research/aw…
Event tip: In her exhibition, Denise Bertschi explores the intertwined histories of dye chemistry and photographic chemistry, showcasing also exhibits from D-CHAB's collection! Join us for the vernissage on June 13, 18:00!
Recently, over 100 school students and their teachers from Zurich and surrounding areas, including St. Gallen, as well as Graubünden, and Liechtenstein, visited us at the Open Laboratories Day (TOL) at D-CHAB and explored the many facets of chemistry. Enjoy some snapshots!
Event tip 📢 check out the new career series episode of Women in Natural Sciences (WiNS) in collaboration with VAC ETHZ at ETH Zürich Zurich on June 12, 2025 and learn more about the patent field! Register here 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/1QvWwk…
What a special day! At the Eschenmoser Symposium, the speakers explored the boundaries of organic chemistry - from synthetic genetics to rhodium carbenes and beyond. Scott Denmark & Andreas Pfaltz added some reflections about Albert Eschenmoser and also presented his biography.
Helma Wennemers is opening the Eschenmoser Symposium "Organic Chemistry Frontiers: A Celebration of Albert Eschenmoser's 100th Birthday" and introduces the audience to some of Prof. Eschenmoser's research highlights before she will welcome today's speakers.
Join us for the Organic Chemistry Frontiers #Symposium on June 6, 2025, hosted by the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry @ETH_DCHAB #eth, in celebration of Albert Eschenmoser’s 100th birthday! Follow this link for more details about the event👇 chab.ethz.ch/en/research/in…
