D-CHAB women scientists up close
Ursula Quitterer, Ruth Signorell and Helma Wennemers are among the most experienced women professors at D-CHAB. They have trained countless students, won prizes and set up research groups. But what profession would they have chosen if they hadn't gone into science and what are they most proud of? On today's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a short questionnaire shows the successful women researchers from a personal perspective.
Deciphering the molecular life of catalysts
Whether for cling film or hydrogen production, in chemistry, everything strives for efficient, inexpensive catalysts. Surprisingly, little is known about how they work on a molecular level. Prof. Murielle Delley from the University of Basel aims to change this and is developing methods to promote the production of more efficient, sustainable catalysts. She has now been awarded the 2024 Ruzicka Prize for her work on the controlled surface modification of cobalt phosphide with sulfur. A portrait.
