01.10.21 – Scientists at EPFL have shown that the powerful transient absorption spectroscopy technique can unravel ultrafast motion of electrons and nuclei in a molecule in real time and with atomic spatial resolution. The last few decades have seen impressive … Continue reading →
29.09.21 – Les premiers modules de cellules en pérovskite arrivent sur le marché, concurrençant les panneaux solaires. A Sion, l’EPFL-Valais Perovskite Solar, dirigé par le professeur Mohammad Nazeeruddin, n’est pas en reste. A Neuchâtel, Christophe Baillif, professeur au Laboratoire de … Continue reading →
08.09.21 – Paco and Cedric have worked together on bottom-up synthesis of graphene films hosting atom-thick molecular-sieving apertures and now the work is online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)! The energy efficiency of … Continue reading →
17.08.21 – Professor Yimon Aye has won the 2022 Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award. Founded in 2005, the Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award is given each year by the Executive Board of Editors and the Publisher of Tetrahedron Publications. It is given … Continue reading →
12.08.21 – NICEdrug.ch, a new database developed by a group of researchers from EPFL, may help scientists assess potential drugs more quickly, including how they are metabolized by the body and their potential side effects. Researchers from EPFL have created … Continue reading →
22.07.21 – Professor Ardemis Boghossian has won the European Society of Photobiology Young Investigator Award. Each year, the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) offers the Young Investigator Award to a young researcher who has conducted original research of exceptionally high … Continue reading →
05.07.21 – Chemical engineers at EPFL have developed a machine-learning model that can predict a compound’s oxidation state, a property that is so essential that many chemists argue it must be included in the periodic table. Chemical elements make up … Continue reading →
02.07.21 – EPFL scientists have devised a new method that can speed up the real-time observation capabilities of cryo-electron microscopy. In 2017, Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to cryo-electron … Continue reading →
