Coming up tomorrow @ 11:00 @MerkleInstitute @unifr - #seminar with Rachel Evans (@Cambridge_Uni): Photon conversion #materials for #photovoltaic & #imaging technologies ami.swiss/en/seminars-news-e… #research #materialsscience
Shoutout to @DerekKiebala for spearheading this @NCCRbioinspired collaboration with @hes_so @StephenSchrettl and @CelineCalvino
New @AMI_PolyChemMat paper just out, in collaboration with iPrint (@hes_so): multimaterial, mechanochromic #polymer films with pre-programmed stiffness profiles, made via #inkjet #printing of polymer inks containing a mechanochromic additive. link.springer.com/article/10…
Our group has advertised four internships through this program that include new mechanochromic hydrogels, artificial muscles, bio inspired batteries, and new supramolecular materials. Check them out!
Join us for one of the many projects available @MerkleInstitute @unifr. This is a great opportunity to get some hands-on experience in our labs with real-world, cutting-edge #research! #internships #summerexperience
Freshly minted PhD from the group! Congratulations to Ilaria Onori @ilariaon
Coming up tomorrow @MerkleInstitute @ 16:30 - #PhD defense with Ilaria Onori (@AMI_PolyChemMat): Healable supramolecular double #polymer network elastomers ami.swiss/en/seminars-news-e… #research

It has been quite a journey, but I am excited to share the first research contribution from the Calvino Group @livMatS_UniFR, @FitFreiburg, @UniFreiburg.
Check out how we have turned these quinolinones into an effective wavelength-gated system!

Great interdisciplinary collaboration that afforded the highest-aspect-ratio objects our group has ever dealt with.
Just out in @Nature: @MerkleInstitute researchers and colleagues describe a novel technique for creating large, thin, energy-converting membranes that mimic the structure and function of biological cell membranes. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… #openaccess
Great to see our shape-memory polymers go places - see them here: bit.ly/3X6hZsJ ! Hats off to Anita Roulin and Véronique Buclin for the scale-up and coloration and @wedropirz for the metamorphosis into art!
Excited about the upcoming exhibit SUBSTANCE SHIFTS bit.ly/3X6hZsJ by Pedro Wirz @wedropirz Pedro uses our adaptive polymers to express paradigm-shifting ideas for materials circularity. Tx to AMI & Pro Helvetia for supporting our art/sci collab. bit.ly/4bIHFjx

Great to see (ex) polymer group members @JA_Berrocal @marta_oggioni and Philip Scholten take the stage on the first night of #PINT24 in #FRIBOURG and talk about fantastic plastics!
Not to be missed: starting tonight in #Fribourg and across #Switzerland - @pintofscienceCH ! xitter.cf/pintofscienceCH/status… #outreach #scicomm
Liquid-nanodroplet-containing polymers make great scintillators that allow pulse shape discrimination! The study led by @hu_xueqian was supported by @snsf_ch & is a result of a productive collab. with Angelo Monguzzi and team @unimib. Details: doi.org/10.1002/adma.2024004… @AdvSciNews.
