After injury, new intestinal cells must develop into different cell types. Researchers have now shown that the cells do so by sensing how densely they are surrounded by neighbouring cells – and that this information helps guide their further development.
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) has awarded Professor Daniela Domeisen the Bernhard Haurwitz Memorial Lectureship 2027. Domeisen is receiving the honour for her pioneering contributions to our understanding of the interactions between the stratosphere and the troposphere, which today form an important basis for weather and climate forecasting.
Laura De Lorenzis, Professor of Computational Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich, has received the 2026 IACM Oden Computational Mechanics Award. Presented by the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM), the biennial award recognises her outstanding scientific contributions to computational mechanics.
