How the foundations for the smartphone were laid in Arosa 100 years ago:
Erwin Schrödinger laid the groundwork for quantum physics and quantum chemistry, thereby revolutionizing science and society. The location has now been recognized as a historic site of chemistry.

Our results (doi.org/10.1063/5.02...)
reveal that surface charges significantly alter ionic conductivity and determine the direction of the electro-osmotic flow and of the diffusio-osmotic current, thereby advancing the understanding of transport at the nanoscale. @chem.uzh.ch
