23.07.18 – The predictions of EPFL physicists for a new kind of single photon source have come to life in a recent collaboration with the universities of Leiden and Santa Barbara. The so-called Unconventional Photon Blockade was experimentally realized with … Continue reading →
16.07.18 – Chemical engineers at EPFL have demonstrated for the first time that an atom-thick graphene membrane can separate gas mixtures with a high-efficiency. The “ultimate” membrane is scalable, making it a breakthrough for industrial gas separation. Separating mixed gases, … Continue reading →
13.07.18 – Prof. Ambrogio Fasoli was recently elected as Chair of the General Assembly of EUROfusion, the European Consortium for the development of fusion energy. One of the tasks of the meeting of the EUROfusion General Assembly, which was held … Continue reading →
12.07.18 – EPFL physicists have now demonstrated experimentally the ability to coherently manipulate the wave function of a free electron down to the attosecond timescale (10-18 of a second). The team also developed a theory for creating zeptosecond (10-21 of … Continue reading →
11.07.18 – Physicists at EPFL used Scanning Tunneling Microscopy to successfully test the stability of a magnet made up of a single atom. Despite the rise of solid-state drives, magnetic storage devices such as conventional hard drives and magnetic tapes … Continue reading →
09.07.18 – At its meeting of 4 and 5 July 2018, the ETH Board has announced the promotion of Prof. Fabrizio Carbone as Associate Professor of Physics at EPFL. Professor Fabrizio Carbone was named as Associate Professor of Physics in … Continue reading →
03.07.18 – Professor Kumar Varoon Agrawal at EPFL’s Institute of Chemical Science and Engineering has been awarded a Young Membrane Scientist Award from the North American Membrane Society. The North American Membrane Society (NAMS) is a professional society in North … Continue reading →
