nn n 04.07.23 – One of Europe’s premiere fusion researchers, professor Ambrogio Fasoli, Director of the Swiss Plasma Center and Chair of the EUROfusion General Assembly, recently published an essay in the top scientific journal Physical Review Letters on overcoming … Continue reading →
nn n 15.06.23 – Drawing from Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, scientists at EPFL have built a “critical cat code” qubit that uses bosons to store and process information in a way that is more reliable and resistant to errors than … Continue reading →
nn n 12.06.23 – On the 7th of June 2023, Rodolphe Gonzalez, precision mechanic at the IPHYS mechanical workshop, and Norbert Adjadj, mechanic at the High Energy Physics Laboratory (LPHE), obtained high-level recognition from the LHCb Collaboration at CERN, consisting … Continue reading →
nn n 24.05.23 – Scientists at EPFL have found a new way to create a crystalline structure called a “density wave” in an atomic gas. The findings can help us better understand the behavior of quantum matter, one of the … Continue reading →
nn n 19.05.23 – CECAM joins an ambitious European project to create the first database of molecular dynamics. Molecular dynamics simulation is a computational method applied in biology to study the behaviour of molecules and complex systems. The information obtained … Continue reading →
nn n 28.04.23 – The search for radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations has yet to yield evidence of alien technological activity. Research carried out at EPFL suggests we continue searching while optimizing the use of available resources.n For over sixty … Continue reading →
nn n 04.04.23 – When it comes to measuring how fast the Universe is expanding, the result depends on which side of the Universe you start from. A recent EPFL study has calibrated the best cosmic yardsticks to unprecedented accuracy, … Continue reading →
nn n 20.03.23 – A collaboration between EPFL and IBM has produced a laser with ultrafast wavelength tuning and low noise – ideal for use in optical ranging. The scientists combined lithium niobate, a workhorse material in telecommunications, with the … Continue reading →
nn n 23.02.23 – It brought together an audience from all over Europe, Switzerland and the United States. The great success of the course organized this February by five research scientists from the Swiss Plasma Center of EPFL, confirms the … Continue reading →
