Soft Materials and Interfaces (Prof. Lucio Isa)

Congratulations to our head Prof. Lucio Isa, this year’s winner of the Golden Owl at the Department of Materials (D-MATL). Lucio has been receiving outstanding student feedback for his teaching for many years! @eth @ETH_en @eth mat.ethz.ch/news-and-event…

Congrats to our brilliant postdoc @Minghan_Hu, who has been awarded the prestigious @snsf_ch Ambizione grant! He will soon start his independent research at @eth_dmavt. Hard work and dedication is being recognized. Keep on shining bright and making great contributions to science!

We are delighted that Vincent's latest @softmatter article has been selected by the Editors as HOT, and FREE to access now! Another reason to check it out ;) Find the article here: xlink.rsc.org/?doi=10.1039/D…

We use a polymer-bridge-based approach to stick a wide range of nanoparticles onto microparticle supports. Using this approach we decorate microparticles with composit films, and synthesize multifunctional designer microswimmers. Read about it @ChemMater doi.org/10.1021%2Facs.…

Isn't this a piece of art? We study interacting boojum defects in nematic Liquid Crystal films, mediated using tailored arrays of silica spheres. Now out in JCIS @ScienceDirect. Congrats to Zazo Meijs and our collaborators from the SMA Group @kaistpr!
