17.05.22 – Professor Michael Grätzel at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has been awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Porto. One of the most important researchers in chemistry of our time, Professor Michael Grätzel will receive an honorary … Continue reading →
17.05.22 – Physicists at EPFL, within a large European collaboration, have revised one of the fundamental laws that has been foundational to plasma and fusion research for over three decades, even governing the design of megaprojects like ITER. The update … Continue reading →
17.05.22 – Professor Jan S. Hesthaven at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has been elected as Foreign Member of the Royal Danish Academic of Sciences and Letters. The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters is the Danish national academy … Continue reading →
13.05.22 – How does a cell balance risk and speed when dividing? EPFL scientists have developed and experimentally tested the first mathematical theory that describes the cell’s best strategy for dividing safely and efficiently. Cells go through a life cycle … Continue reading →
12.05.22 – Researchers at EPFL have built nanomechanical oscillators that oscillate billions of times before stopping. These record-low mechanical losses are enabled by the symmetry of mechanical resonators shaped as regular polygons. The vibrational modes of nanomechanical resonators are analogous … Continue reading →
10.05.22 – Professor Michael Grätzel at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has been elected as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society. The Royal Society is “a self-governing Fellowship made up of the most eminent scientists, engineers and technologists from … Continue reading →
05.05.22 – To get closer to quantum technology we need to develop non-classical light sources that can emit a single photon at a time and do so on demand. Scientists at EPFL have now designed one of these “single photon … Continue reading →
05.05.22 – Professor Gabor Laurenczy at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has been elected as an External Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and has won the 2021 Rudolf Fabinyi Memorial Prize from the Hungarian Chemical Society. The Hungarian Academy … Continue reading →
04.05.22 – Scientists led by EPFL have developed a new method to measure chemical kinetics by imaging progress of a reaction at a liquid-liquid interface embedded in a laminar-flow liquid microjet. This method is ideal for studies of dynamics on … Continue reading →
03.05.22 – Scientists at EPFL have found a way to overcome power loss and the manufacturing complexity of scaling up perovskite solar cells. Perovskites are hybrid materials made from metal halides and organic compounds. They have attracted a lot of … Continue reading →
