As we approach the temporary shutdown for the SLS 2.0 upgrade this fall, our scientists look back at 22 years of brilliant science and achievements made possible by the SLS. Why would you like to say #ThankYouSLS? #UpgradingSLS #MoreBrilliantLightForResearch @lightsources

Some good news to start the new year with! Our #phd student Patrick Pfändler's work on geostatistical #modeling of half-cell potential measurement data has been published #openaccess.
The full paper can be found here: https://t.co/U4sQxXVQOB

Huge Congratulations to Federico Martinelli-Orlando for successfully defending his #phd thesis. Amazing work Dr Martinelli-Orlando. 🎉

[Durability of Engineering Materials Lab @ ETHZ @Durability_ETH]

We are so passionate about our #research - see how we play scrabble 🧐😂

A full house, eagerly listening to Stefanie von Greve-Dierfeld, on the possible changes in EN standards relating to #construction materials, #sustainability and #durability. Performance-based standardisation is the need of the hour to reduce #emissions in the #concrete #industry.

Results indicate that a passive film is formed on steel surfaces under #cathodicprotection. Moreover, the paper revisits the #SHG technique, which hasn’t been used much since the 80s and offers some advantages for the #insitu study of #corrosion occurring in #liquid #electrolytes

[Durability of Engineering Materials Lab @ ETHZ @Durability_ETH]

New paper in #collaboration with @ong_ethz @rachel_grange, on the use of second-harmonic generation (#SHG) technique for in-situ study of #passive film formation on carbon #steel surfaces in aqueous solutions. https://t.co/NabqcjBdUF

Amazing to have the group together for nice hike up the mountain and enjoy the setting at restaurant Lägern #Hochwacht. #BondingOverFondue

Based on data collected over the last 40 yrs, we compared the efficacy of predictive #algorithms with traditional #modelling techniques. Additionally, we were able to identify the most relevant parameters influencing pore solution composition.

The pore solution #chemistry forms an integral part of #cement and #concrete #research. Can #MachineLearning be an effective tool in predicting the pore solution of cementitious binders? Check out this new paper to know more:

Great kick-off meeting in Neuchâtel of our @snsf_ch funded project CORINT, which brings together scientists from 6 institutes across Switzerland to combine expertise from #corrosion, #archaeology, #conservation, #civileng, #nucleareng, #radioactivewastedisposal, and #physics.

[Durability of Engineering Materials Lab @ ETHZ @Durability_ETH]

We will utilize new quantitative multimodal in-situ tomography to make a breakthrough in the fundamental understanding of iron corrosion processes occurring within opaque #porousmedia. Keep an eye out on this space for more updates, or check out https://t.co/z5rz5246pd
