08.09.26 – A new fluorescence microscopy technique that generates super-resolution images from a single camera exposure could help researchers study rapid movements within cells that are difficult to capture with existing methods. Super-resolution microscopy has transformed cell biology by allowing scientists to see cellular structures and details that are too […]

07.05.26 – A team including EPFL engineers has designed a rotating platform whose controlled spin can make flexible beams snap between two stable states. The simple, fast method can encode binary information directly into materials without electronics. There is something universally appealing about the slap bracelet, and the way a […]

09.03.26 – Under the EPFL-led ADOPT project, researchers are combining AI satellite-image recognition with drift prediction models to improve the collection of plastic debris in the ocean. The technology has passed the proof-of-concept stage and is ready for field testing. Being able to identify and track floating masses of debris is critical […]

The Hidden Motion of Flexible Beams Researchers from the Flexible Structures Laboratory (FLEXLAB) have developed a new way to store and control information inside special mechanical materials made of tiny “switchable” elements. Instead […]

We often think of embryonic development as a genetic ballet, choreographed entirely by DNA and proteins. But there’s another cast member quietly shaping the scene: […]
Read More05.08.25 – EPFL researchers have developed a new imaging method, based on the use of a single-photon camera, that can characterizes thousands of molecules quickly and simultaneously. The new method, inspired by an imaging technique that has been around for 35 years, takes ultraprecise measurements of a molecule’s unique light-emission […]
Read More24.07.25 – EPFL researchers have developed a ‘self-driving’ microscope that can predict the onset of misfolded protein aggregation – a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease – as well as analyze the biomechanical properties of these aggregates. The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative […]
Read More03.07.25 – After four years of driving innovation in imaging science at EPFL, the Center for imaging has reached several important milestones: an update on its impact and future ambitions. Since its launch in 2021, the EPFL Center for Imaging has aimed at fostering excellence in imaging at EPFL by […]
