Researchers in the @EPFL_en @SMaL_EPFL lab have developed an elastomer-based ink for #3Dprinting structures for #softrobotics & wearable devices without cumbersome mechanical joints. @Materials_EPFL https://t.co/UDMiCVqI3s

👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 Are you looking for a new postdoc experience? We are hiring a postdoc to work on osmosis-driven actuation of 3D-printed elastomers. Interested to work on this challenging project in an interdisciplinary environment? Apply! 🥳 Know someone? Please RT!

Congratulations to my PhD advisor Dave Weitz for the Bower Award, "For transforming our fundamental understanding of squishy materials ranging from gels, polymers, colloids, and emulsions to living organisms." Dave is a truly amazing scientist, innovator, mentor & educator!!!

We have a faculty position opening in all areas of quantum computing and quantum algorithms @EPFL . The position is joint between the schools of Communication Sciences (IC) and Basic Sciences (SB). Apply here:

We are looking for our next PhDs! Are you interested in diving deep into Soft Materials and 3D Printing? Apply now and let's shape the future of material science together! https://t.co/trJZUK5Ril 🥳 Do not hesitate to RT! #3DPrinting #soft #PhDposition

Kudos to our colleagues on their latest paper titled "4D Printing of Metal-Reinforced Double Network Granular Hydrogels." 🎉 Pushing boundaries of responsive hydrogels for enhanced toughness and actuation forces! Congrats on this remarkable achievement!!💪 https://t.co/oSzojSt4X9

Finished your #PhD or about to defend? Have a #research idea you would like to develop? The latest call for our @NCCRbioinspired postdoctoral fellowship for Women in Science (WINS) is now open. Get all the details here https://t.co/d968q3xIIg #grants

🚨Exciting news! Multiple Ph.D. and Postdoc positions are available in three interdisciplinary labs: @KlokLab, @SMaL_EPFL, and @bioinspiredmatt on the mussel-byssus inspired energy-efficient fabrication of load-bearing fibers! Don't miss this opportunity, apply now! 🎉

New Ph.D. openings🚨 Join our lab for exciting research in 3D printing and functionalization of soft materials! Seeking motivated candidates in material science, chemistry, engineering, and more. 🥳Are you up for the challenge? 🤔 For more details:

Hydrogels can act as drug delivery systems, but their diffusivity is limited @EAmstad & team created 3D-printed hydrogels with nanoscale pores to increase their diffusivity while selectively infiltrating different substances at well-defined locations 👉 https://t.co/TBvpczwUDR

Une nouvelle méthode d'impression 3D utilise une encre contenant des bactéries produisant du carbonate de calcium. Le biocomposite minéralisé imprimé en 3D est d'une solidité, d'une légèreté et d'un respect de l'environnement sans précédent.

We are thrilled to have our paper published on the news of EPFL 😎 What a fantastic reward to celebrate the Ph.D. of @matteo_hirsch!

This 3D-printable ink contains bacteria that cause printed shapes to mineralize within a few days. The result is a strong, sustainable composite that could be used in #art, #ecology & #biomedicine! @SMaL_EPFL @AmstadEsther @LLucherini @EPFL_MechE https://t.co/qjcXKO4588

Can we harness the power of nature to fabricate sustainable materials? Check out the latest research results by @matteo_hirsch and @LLucherini from @SMaL_EPFL, where they exploit microorganisms to transform soft hydrogels into hard biocomposites:

While I follow all the amazing science at #BPS2023 from home🥲, I relaunch this great opportunity 👇 for female researchers !!! If interested or just curious, my DMs are open. Please spread the word!!!!

Congratulations to our @NCCRbioinspired PI Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser (@AMIBioNano), who has been nominated to @AcademiaNet_org, the database of excellent female researchers, by the @snsf_ch! She joins her fellow PIs Alke Fink and Katharina Fromm (@unifrChemistry).

Another really interesting @NCCRbioinspired publication from PI Esther Amstad's @SMaL_EPFL laboratory @epfl!

Are you a talented female researcher wishing to pursue an academic #career in #science? Then consider applying for the @NCCRbioinspired Women in Science Fellowship, and join us at @MerkleInstitute, @SciMed_unifr, @epfl, or @ETH_en. All the info here https://t.co/6n1Jz0WDQ6
