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 22.06.23 – EPFL Professor Xile Hu has won the Robert K. Grasselli Award for Catalysis from the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS). n Given every two years by the European Federation of Catalysis Societies (EFCATS), the Robert K. … Continue reading →
nn n 21.06.23 – Amir Youssefi at EPFL’s Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements has won the 2023 Swiss Nanotechnology PhD award for his work on optomechanics.n The Swiss Nanotechnology PhD award is given every year by the Swiss Micro- … 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 30.05.23 – Researchers at EPFL have found a way to study water in “no man’s land,” a subzero temperature range where water crystallizes rapidly. Historically, the inability to access “no man’s land” has prevented scientists from unriddling the … 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 17.05.23 – Scientists in Switzerland have developed a peptide that binds to the protein calprotectin, a marker of major inflammatory disorders, and shown that it is suitable for diagnostic tests. The use of synthetic peptides for sensing disease … 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 11.04.23 – Modifying a new technique, scientists at EPFL have uncovered how evolution impacts the way our cells deal with oxidative stress from the things we eat.n Eating our favorite foods, inhaling tobacco smoke, and even exercise can … 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 →
