We strain, sputter, break, heal and 3D-print matter. We look for new properties in materials and engineer techniques to manufacture them. Student-run account.

@LNM_eth is now on Bluesky! 🦋
Follow us at @ lnm-eth.bsky.social and stay tuned for updates on our latest research and activities!
See you there! 🚀😉
Nerea Abando will be presenting her work "NiTiNb-316L co-sintering for multimaterial AM through liquid phase sintering" tomorrow at #Sintering2026 in Aachen! Stop by to learn more about her research (session 10, room k4) 🦾😉
Are you at #META2026? Don’t miss the invited talk by @fabian_haake on Optical Metrology of Chiral and Strain Engineered Metasurfaces, today at 19:05! Looking forward to seeing you there!😉
Big congratulations to our LNM member Nensi Toncich for winning the Gold Poster Prize at the MaP Graduate Symposium for RI-LOCA: An On-Chip Heating Platform for Localized Thin Film repair, Non-Equilibrium Microstructures, and Phase Control ! 🥇👏
Multi-material additive manufacturing at the nanoscale with EHD-RP! Thx to @GallivanRebecca and @nydegger_m we can now directly deposit conductors, semiconductors, and insulators by switching materials on the fly using simple water-based electrochemistry. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
🚨New paper out! We investigate how the Kirkendall effect produces localized voids in magnetron sputtered copper–gold thin films. The results highlight a new pathway for engineering self‑assembled, localized porosity in thin‑film systems. Read the paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.20…
New paper out in @ScienceAdvances! 🎉 Huge shoutout to the amazing team at @Complex_Mat for leading the way on this awesome work on 3D-printing of dinoflagellate-laden gels. We had a great time teaming up with them to help bring this to shine 😜✨

#PlasmonicaSchool2026 took some time off from classes to enjoy #Florence and some art at the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo.
Kick off of @Plasmonica School 2026! Looking forward to an intensive week of nano-optics in Florence!
Mycelium gathering after our talks at #TMS2026 🍄 a lot of cool stuff going on!
🚀Are you at #TMS2026 in San Diego?
Tomorrow at 8:30 AM in Hilton Aqua E, Ralph Spolenak will present "From the Titanic to Nanopillars: Brittle to Ductile Transitions as a Function of Temperature and Size", opening a session honoring the remarkable legacy of William Gerberich.
Last talk from LNM tomorrow at #DPG2026! @pozzi_marcello will present "Self-assembled dielectric network metamaterials based on vanadium oxide" at 12.15 in HSZ/0403. Don't miss it!
🚀 More LNM talks tomorrow at #DPG2026 ! If you're interested in thin films, nanomechanics, and diffusion processes... we hope to see you there!!
🔬16:15 — SCH/A216
@Oliverwipf - “Diffusion processes in magnetron sputtered copper–gold thin films: layer design, argon pressure tuning and Kirkendall effect”
LNM is ready for #DPG conference in Dresden this week! 😎 Tomorrow at 11:45 in HSZ/0201 @fabian_haake will start with his presentation “Probing electromagnetic chirality in nanoresonators using scanning reflection anisotropy microscopy”. Don't miss it! 😉
🚀New paper out! Nanoporous Ag for SERS: PVD vs EHD-RP. Both show strong enhancement, with EHD-RP slightly outperforming. <30 nm pores and network disorder are key. EHD-RP substrates are stable and enable plasmonic catalysis at ultralow laser powers 🔬👏.
