The German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina has awarded ETH Zurich Materials scientist, Nicola Spaldin, the Carus Medal 2024 for her outstanding research work. The award will be presented on 22 May 2025 in Schweinfurt, Germany.
Ulrike Lohmann, Professor for Atmospheric Physics at ETH Zurich, has been awarded the 2025 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal by the European Geosciences Union (EGU) for her research on cloud-climate interactions. Her work combines microscale processes and satellite data with global models to assess the radiative impact of clouds on the Earth system.
An innovative concrete formulation combined with novel reinforcement strategies and design methods, all developed by researchers at ETH Zurich, have paved the way for the large-scale 3D printing of load-bearing components. Starting in May, these can be admired as the building blocks of the world’s tallest 3D-printed tower.
