nn n 12.07.22 – Scientists at EPFL have found a way to synthesize large numbers of macrocyclic compounds, which are needed for developing drugs against difficult disease targets.n When pharmaceutical companies begin looking for a drug candidate, they use a … Continue reading →
nn n 11.07.22 – Using a new method, scientists are better able to distinguish between mirror-image substances. This is important amongst others in drug development, because the two variants can cause completely different effects in the human body. Researchers from … Continue reading →
27.06.22 – EPFL scientists have developed a new, PET-like plastic that is easily made from the non-edible parts of plants. The plastic is tough, heat-resistant, and a good barrier to gases like oxygen, making it a promising candidate for food … Continue reading →
26.05.22 – Scientists at EPFL have developed a new laser-based technique that can measure ultrafast changes in the structural symmetry of molecules, called chirality, tracking their conformational shifts in real time. In a collaboration with researchers from the Universities of … Continue reading →
20.05.22 – How do you use artificial intelligence to simulate chemical processes? Philippe Schwaller has developed a program that won the Prix Schläfli 2022 in Chemistry. Enthusiastic, passionate, analytical – and yes, a bit nerdy. In terms of his appearance … Continue reading →
