Congratulations @GhewaAlsabeh ! It was a pleasure to have you @MerkleInstitute!
Congratulations Dr @GhewaAlsabeh on defending your thesis earlier this month @EPFL_en🇨🇭🎓through co-supervision of @jovana_v_milic @MerkleInstitute & Michael Grätzel @lpi_epfl - we are proud of your academic achievements as a scientist and leader, wishing you continued success!👏🏼
Master's #internship opportunity: join us in 🇨🇭 to develop innovative bio-based packaging materials from coffee by-products. You'll help create high-performance, sustainable🪴alternatives to traditional petroleum-based wrapping. More info @ ami.swiss/en/about-us/... #research
A few days late to repost ;-) but well worth it!
🚀New paper out!
Based on my PhD project at @AMI_PolyChemMat, we introduce a new class of UV-emitting annihilators for TTA-UC using the BPEB molecule.
Thanks to all the authors (@hu_xueqian ), my supervisor @WederChristoph, and the @RoySocChem.

Just out in @angew_chem: @MerkleInstitute researchers have developed a new type of mechanophore incorporating coumarin - a molecular sensor that glows bright blue when plastic materials experience stress or damage. Read about it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
On the (outside back) cover: a reminder of the recent paper from AMI alumni Shohei Shimizu and Yoshi Sagara (@sciencetokyo_en), as well as @CluffieJ and @WederChristoph in the journal @angew_chem on "Hinge-Like Mechanochromic Mechanophores" #research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
A big warm welcome to Prof. Hanjo Limbach, who joins us from @Nestle as the new Chair of Food Science & Tech @MerkleInstitute! His expertise in soft nanotech & industry-driven innovation will catalyze AMI’s expansion into sustainable food research. #FoodInnovation #Fribourg

🌍 Switzerland is now leading the world’s biggest public innovation network.
From July 2025 to June 2026, Switzerland chairs EUREKA, an initiative bringing together +45 countries to support international cooperation in R&D.
The goal? Make it easier for companies, startups, and researchers to access funding, develop innovations across borders, and turn ideas into impact.
