07.08.20 – Professors Sebastian Maerkl, from the School of Engineering, and Sandrine Gerber, from the School of Basic Sciences, each received a grant for their coronavirus-related research project. Two EPFL projects received grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation, which … Continue reading →
04.08.20 – In a study led by EPFL, scientists have developed a synthetic blood-thinner that, unlike all others, doesn’t cause bleeding side-effects. The highly potent, highly selective, and highly stable molecule can suppress thrombosis while letting blood clot normally following … Continue reading →
20.07.20 – An international consortium of scientists has analyzed, as part of a vast program of cosmological surveys, several million galaxies and quasars, thus retracing a more continuous history of the Universe and offering a better understanding of the mechanisms … Continue reading →
15.07.20 – Combining integrated photonics and MEMS technology, scientists from EPFL and Purdue University demonstrate monolithic piezoelectric control of integrated optical frequency combs with bulk acoustic waves. The technology opens up integrated ultrafast acousto-optic modulation for demanding applications. Piezoelectric materials … Continue reading →
10.07.20 – At its meeting of 8-9 July 2020, the ETH Board has named Prof. Florent Krzakala as Full Professor and Dr. Lenka Zdeborová as Associate Professor. Professor Florent Krzakala, Professor at Sorbonne University and Researcher at the Ecole normale … Continue reading →
10.07.20 – The EPFL professor and mathematician won the award for an exceptional research paper that he published. The IEEE Information Theory Society Paper Award is presented each year by the IEEE Information Theory Society for outstanding research papers in … Continue reading →
07.07.20 – Summer Series: Science as a vocation. Maryna Viazovska, who holds the Chair of Number Theory at EPFL, has resolved the problem of sphere packing in 8 and 24 dimensions. Talking to Maryna Viazovska, you get the sense that … Continue reading →
02.07.20 – EPFL’s Open Science project Nanofab-net.org, creates an archive for sharing micro- and nanofabrication notes. Nanofabrication is ubiquitous, used to build computer chips, MEMS sensors for handheld devices, and even superconducting quantum circuits for future quantum computing. And yet, … Continue reading →
01.07.20 – EPFL professor Anthony Davison and co-authors provide a mathematical basis for concerns about ethical implications of AI. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly deployed around us and may have large potential benefits. But there are growing concerns about the … Continue reading →
