11.05.20 – Peptides represent a billion-dollar market in the pharmaceutical industry, but they can generally only be taken as injections to avoid degradation by stomach enzymes. Scientists at EPFL have now developed a method to generate peptides that resist enzymatic … Continue reading →
11.05.20 – EPFL’s new Center for Intelligent Systems (CIS) will act as a research promotion platform for bringing together experts in machine learning, data science, computer vision, cyberphysical systems, and robotics. Initially conceived to unite the schools of Engineering (STI), … Continue reading →
06.05.20 – EPFL chemists have developed sponges to capture various target substances, like gold, mercury and lead, dissolved in solution. The sponges are actually porous crystals called metal organic frameworks, and now one exists for capturing toxic hexavalent chromium from … Continue reading →
29.04.20 – In the paper “Laser Cooling of a Nanomechanical Oscillator to Its Zero-Point Energy”, just published in the peer-reviewed journal Physical Review Letters, and selected as Editor’s suggestions, scientists at EPFL and IBM Research Europe report experiments in which … Continue reading →
24.04.20 – Solitons in optical microresonators are frequently used to generate frequency combs, which have found applications in sensing, telecommunication, and metrology. Now, scientists at EPFL have discovered a novel state of colliding solitons, which reveals interesting properties that can … Continue reading →
21.04.20 – Using the famous computer game Minecraft, Mathematicians at EPFL have developed a video game around Eulerian Cycles. It is now freely available online to everyone. Mathematician David Strütt, a scientific collaborator at EPFL, worked for four months to … Continue reading →
20.04.20 – Using integrated photonic chips fabricated at EPFL, scientists have demonstrated laser-based microwave generators. These microwave signals, as well as their optical carriers, could be used in radars, satellite communications and future 5G wireless networks. In our information society, … Continue reading →
20.04.20 – The Square Kilometre Array, or SKA, will be the biggest radio telescope ever built. Thanks to this ambitious tool, some of the universe’s greatest mysteries will be resolved. EPFL became a member of the SKA Organisation (SKAO) beginning … Continue reading →
09.04.20 – EPFL Emeritus Professor János Pach is one of the 185 winners of the ERC’s annual Advanced Grant competition. He is now at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. János Pach … Continue reading →
06.04.20 – Edoardo Baldini, a former PhD student with Professors Majed Chergui and Fabrizio Carbone, has won the 2020 PHYS Division Young Investigator Awards from the American Chemical Society (ACS). Each year, the Physical Chemistry Division of the ACS awards … Continue reading →
