09.07.19 – Vivien Bonvin (LASTRO) presented his research project at the 2019 Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings take place each year to “foster the exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures, and disciplines.” Established in 1951, … Continue reading →
09.07.19 – Nanotheranostics is a cutting-edge field of medicine that uses nanoparticles to simultaneously diagnose and treat diseases. Chemical engineers at EPFL have now developed a novel nanotheranostic system that uses tunable light to activate or image nanoparticles, thus opening … Continue reading →
08.07.19 – Emmanuel Abbé is the new Chair of Mathematical Data Science at EPFL. His work answers fundamental questions in machine learning and information theory, and in particular on community detection. The graph above represents the data set of the … Continue reading →
05.07.19 – A new computational method, based on neural networks, can simulate open quantum systems with unprecedented versatility. The method was independently developed by physicists at EPFL, France, the UK, and the US, and is published in Physical Review Letters. … Continue reading →
02.07.19 – EPFL chemists have developed new tools to modify sulfur-containing biomolecules, from simple amino acids to large protein complexes such as nucleosomes. These modifications then provide attachment points for two new functional groups, enabling studies of biochemical interactions on … Continue reading →
01.07.19 – The 8th International Zeolite Membrane Meeting, IZMM 2019, took place in Luleå, Sweden from June 16-20, bringing the international community of inorganic materials/membranes together for exciting research dissemination. Kumar has presented our recent MOF work published in Advanced … Continue reading →
27.06.19 – Researchers at EPFL have developed a hydrogel that offers unrivaled protection against transplanted cell rejection. The School’s Technology Transfer Office has licensed the new product to Cell-Caps, a Geneva-based startup specialized in cell encapsulation for treating diabetes. Transplanted … Continue reading →
26.06.19 – Scientists at EPFL have made the first in-depth study of the so-called “wet” electron – a phenomenon that occurs when an excess electron is added to liquid water. One of the strangest-sounding puzzles of chemistry is that of … Continue reading →
24.06.19 – Robert Dalang, head of the Chair of Probability and Victor Panaretos, head of the Chair of Mathematical Statistics and Director of the MATH Institute, have been named Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). Their Fellowships will … Continue reading →
21.06.19 – Researchers at EPFL bring diurnal and seasonal variations into the lab to test the performance of perovskite solar cells under realistic conditions. The findings are published in Nature Energy. It was only ten years ago that metal-halide perovskites … Continue reading →
