Congrats to the NematX team for winning the "de Vigier Award"! ETH Zurich ETH Department of Materials ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Check our how we developed a #3DPrinting approach to fabricate objects that exhibits structural colors using abundant and sustainable building blocks! ETH Zurich ETH Department of Materials nature.com/articles/s4146…

Did you know that seashells are also designed to dissipate effectively vibrations resulting from predator attacks? We have taken a closer look at this aspect in our new paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… ETH Zurich ETH Department of Materials PNASNews

Congratulations to Marco Binelli for his successful PhD defense on #3Dprinting of #sensors an #livingmaterials! ETH Department of Materials ETH Zurich



Nicole Kleger Nicole Kleger and Simona Fehlmann have developed a #3Dprinting process for creating salt templates that they can fill with other #materials. One area of application is the creation of highly porous lightweight metal components. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…


My work with shiny microbes has finally seen the light, instead of just shedding it 😊 Give it a read! Thanks André R Studart Complex Materials ETHZ for helping me getting this one out :) #livingmaterials #materials #microbes #3Dprinting #ethzurich ETH Department of Materials onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

We 3D printed hydrogels with fungal mycelia to make self-regenerating #livingmaterials for #robotic skins ! Congratulations to the Complex Materials ETHZ team for this exciting work Kunal Masania ETH Department of Materials nature.com/articles/s4156…


Our article on stretchable, color-changing silicones received enough downloads to be a #topdownloadedarticle in Advanced Materials ! I highly appreciate the interest in our research ! Ahmad Rafsanjani Erik Poloni

Combining water and #CO2 to make #carbon_neutral #fuels using #solar energy: A #3D_printed ceria structure doubles the specific yield of this #sustainable process ! Check it out: doi.org/10.1002/admi.2… Aldo Steinfeld Fabio Bargardi Rafael Libanori Sebastian Sas Brunser

🍄Introducing Mycelium Ink, a fungus-based ink for 3D printing developed at Complex Materials ETHZ @eth_materials! #mycelium #3dprinting


Hot off the press: How we use microbes to facilitate the colloidal shaping of ceramics. Great work from Alessandro Dutto and the whole team! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our NCCR Bio-Inspired Materials Annual Center Conference in #Charmey is over. Two great days of discussions, talks, and collaborative networking. Many thanks to our management team for organizing an outstanding event! #research


What an honor to have our work Complex Materials ETHZ featured in Philip Ball's last column for Nature Materials, entitled "Evolving Materials" ☺️
