09.02.22 – Record-breaking 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy demonstrates potential of fusion at the world-leading Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Oxford, UK Record results announced today are the clearest demonstration in a quarter of a century of the … Continue reading →
04.02.22 – A new Web app developed by EPFL scientists bridges educational gaps in the teaching of infrared spectroscopy, a key technique in chemistry. Now in beta, the app has already been proven a resounding success with students and teachers, … Continue reading →
01.02.22 – A team of researchers led by Professor Yimon Aye at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has developed a new screening method to explore an important biological process known as electrophile signaling. In general, an electrophile is a highly … Continue reading →
26.01.22 – Scientists at EPFL have developed a way to maximize hydrogen yields from biowaste within a few milliseconds. The method uses rapid photo-pyrolysis to produce hydrogen gas and solid conductive carbon from banana peels. As the world’s energy demands … Continue reading →
26.01.22 – Molecules, even though often depicted as static drawings, are in continuous motion. The bonds connecting atoms vibrate, and the energy needed for these vibrations depends on the strength of the bonds. Because of the interaction of the atoms … Continue reading →
24.01.22 – Zoë Holmes, a new professor at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences, is one of the two winners of the Sandoz Family Foundation’s Monique de Meuron Programme for Academic Promotion. The Sandoz Family Foundation was launched in 1964 by … Continue reading →
21.01.22 – Scientists at EPFL have boosted the efficiency and scalability of perovskite solar cells by replacing their electron-transport layers with a thin layer of quantum dots. Perovskites are hybrid compounds made from metal halides and organic constituents. They show … Continue reading →
18.01.22 – EPFL mathematician Annalisa Buffa has been elected to Foreign Associate of the prestigious French Academy of Sciences. The French Academy of Sciences (Académie des sciences) is a learned society, founded in 1666 by Louis XIV at the suggestion … Continue reading →
