28.09.20 – EPFL scientists have observed – for the first time in living cells – the way mitochondria distribute their transcriptome throughout the cell, and it involves RNA granules that turn out to be highly fluid. Mitochondria are present in … Continue reading →
25.09.20 – The ETH Board announced today 11 promotions of Professors and two new appointments. Among them, Oleg Yazyev, Tenure Track Assistant Professor at EPFL, has been promoted Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics in the School of Basic Sciences. Oleg … Continue reading →
25.09.20 – The ETH Board has just approved three people whose names EPFL President Martin Vetterli put forward to head the School’s new vice presidencies: Prof. Gisou van der Goot, Prof. Jan Hesthaven and Matthias Gäumann. The new vice presidencies … Continue reading →
22.09.20 – The National Latsis Prize, awarded to young researchers under the age of 40, goes to Maryna Viazovska for her ground-breaking mathematical problem solving. For the first time, the winners of the two prestigious Swiss science prizes, the Marcel … Continue reading →
17.09.20 – EPFL physicists propose a new path to detect infrared radiation with outstanding sensitivity, allowing detection of signals as low as that of a single quantum of light. When using our webcam or cell phone camera, we experience the … Continue reading →
14.09.20 – Using state-of-the-art laser spectroscopy, researchers at EPFL and the University of Gothenburg have found how energy flows in real-time among hybrid light-matter states, providing unique insight into the dynamics of these states. The work will help develop novel … Continue reading →
11.09.20 – EPFL and MIT scientists have used machine-learning to organize the chemical diversity found in the ever-growing databases for the popular metal-organic framework materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials that contain nano-sized pores. These pores give … Continue reading →
10.09.20 – An international team of physicists has demonstrated that excitons in the semiconductor anatase titanium dioxide can withstand the highest concentration of electrons ever reported. The absorption of light by semiconductors is characterised by the so-called excitons – bound … Continue reading →
09.09.20 – EPFL Professors Nicolas Grandjean and Tobias J. Kippenberg are among eighteen international research teams sharing a grant for quantum research and innovation, awarded by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research. This year, the US Air Force … Continue reading →
04.09.20 – EPFL researchers, working at the boundary between classical and quantum physics, have developed a method for quickly spotting molecules with particularly interesting electron properties. Laser technology is giving scientists an ever-closer look into molecular structures, and this sometimes … Continue reading →
