nn n 07.10.22 – Physicists at EPFL have developed a formulation to solve the longstanding problem of electron self-interaction when studying polarons – quasiparticles produced by electron-phonon interactions in materials. The work can lead to unprecedented calculations of polarons in … Continue reading →
nn n 28.09.22 – Metabolism is essential to all living organisms, and modeling the chemical reactions that sustain life is no easy task. Now, EPFL scientists have released REKINDLE, paving the way for more efficient and accurate modeling of metabolic … Continue reading →
nn n 16.09.22 – Scientists at EPFL have gotten bacteria to spontaneously take up fluorescent carbon nanotubes for the first time. The breakthrough unlocks new biotechnology applications for prokaryotes, such as near-infrared bacteria tracking and “living photovoltaics” – devices that … Continue reading →
nn n 11.09.22 – EPFL biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of division in detail, is released as an open source … Continue reading →
nn n 17.08.22 – Scientists in Switzerland and Germany have demonstrated generation of electron-photon pair states for the first time in a controlled way, using integrated photonic circuits on a chip. Using a new technique, they managed to precisely detect … Continue reading →
nn n 04.08.22 – Physicists at EPFL and the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Quantum Physics have created a new way to simulate quantum entanglement between interacting particles. Their approach involves adding extra, fictitious particles controlled by an artificial intelligence … Continue reading →
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 →
21.06.22 – An international collaboration team of EPFL and Purdue University has developed a hybrid integrated laser that may help the next generation LiDAR for the automotive industry. Lasers are ubiquitous in science and technology – they heal eyes, allow … Continue reading →
