Another turbulent and special year will end very soon. LMPT wishes you a happy New Year 2024, with lots of joy, good health, progress to peace, and great personal and professional achievements! @MetalPhysics, @ETH_Materials, @ETH_en

[Metal Physics @ ETH Zurich @MetalPhysics]

Heartiest congratulations to Andrea Rich for being awarded the Best Presentation Prize for her talk on amorphous Mg-fiber reinforced bone cement at the recent Bioceramics 2023 conference in Solothurn, Switzerland! See details at https://t.co/qgZw4jkOrv; @ETH_Materials, @ETH_en

[Metal Physics @ ETH Zurich @MetalPhysics]

Celebrations afterwards in the famous pub. Congratulations again, Alexander, for your excellent doctoral thesis!

[Metal Physics @ ETH Zurich @MetalPhysics]

Congratulations to Alexander Firlus, who just graduated @MetalPhysics, @ETH_Materials, @ETH_en with his doctoral thesis on “The atomic-scale origins of the Invar effect in Fe-based bulk metallic glasses.” An impressive work in the area of disordered magnetic materials. Well done!

[Metal Physics @ ETH Zurich @MetalPhysics]

In a recent @Acta_Materialia work, we suggest pathways to overcome the "475 °C embrittlement" in Fe-Cr alloys, which are of high importance towards the development of structural materials for future fusion reactors. See https://t.co/kOg0zfewdC; @ETH_Materials, @LNM_eth, @ETH_en

[Metal Physics @ ETH Zurich @MetalPhysics]

In @MaterialsToday, we unravel the origin of the Invar effect in Fe-based bulk metallic glasses: it occurs universally and is solely controlled by the magnetic interactions within the disordered Fe network. See https://t.co/sH6I2k1IJX; @ETH_Materials, @ETH_en, @esrfsynchrotron

[Metal Physics @ ETH Zurich @MetalPhysics]

With the end of the summer approaching, it is our great pleasure to list the various honors and awards that members of our @MetalPhysics Laboratory @ETH_Materials @ETH_en have recently received.
