05.11.24 – The European Research Council announced on Tuesday that professors Andras Kis, Edoardo Charbon, and Tobias Kippenberg of the EPFL School of Engineering (STI) have been awarded ERC Synergy Grants to tackle major scientific challenges. Andras Kis, head of the Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES), was selected […]

04.11.24 – Today’s basic research relies on instruments that are so sensitive that they essentially need to be cut off from the outside world. That’s the idea behind the Advanced Science Building (ASB), a future on-campus structure that will accommodate cutting-edge research labs on seven floors, including two underground. It […]

25.10.24 – For the first time, EPFL researchers have exclusively observed molecules participating in hydrogen bonds in liquid water, measuring electronic and nuclear quantum effects that were previously accessible only via theoretical simulations. Water is synonymous with life, but the dynamic, multifaceted interaction that brings H2O molecules together – the […]

18.10.24 – A study on a camera that can take 3D images with record-breaking speed and resolution by Edoardo Charbon and the Advanced Quantum Architecture Laboratory, in association with Canon, has been named one of the top 10 most highly cited articles for the year 2020 by the journal Optica. […]

25.09.24 – Thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), civil engineers can inspect large-scale infrastructure more efficiently and cost-effectively, while also monitoring the progression of damage severity over time. A team of EPFL researchers has demonstrated the feasibility of an AI-driven method for crack detection, growth and monitoring, and […]

06.09.24 – Researchers at EPFL unlock a detailed understanding of brain and spinal cord interactions. The tool paves the way for future research breakthroughs and innovative therapeutic approaches. The brain and spinal cord are the central pillars of the human central nervous system (CNS), orchestrating everything from movement to sensation. […]

05.09.24 – Scientist Mackenzie W. Mathis, a professor at EPFL and winner of the Swiss Science Prize Latsis 2024, has developed pioneering artificial intelligence algorithms in behavioural neuroscience. “I’m trying to understand the neural basis of what makes us able to learn and move.” This is how Mackenzie W. Mathis, […]

02.09.24 – Scientists at EPFL have developed an AI tool that creates detailed models of cellular metabolism, making it easier to understand how cells function.  Understanding how cells process nutrients and produce energy – collectively known as metabolism – is essential in biology. However, analyzing the vast amounts of data […]

28.08.24 – Medical imaging technology – such as MRI, ultrasound and X-ray – is gaining in power and precision, especially in the wake of recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Several EPFL research groups are contributing to this progress and actively shaping the future in this area. Thanks to advances in […]

19.08.24 – Sabine Süsstrunk, an expert in scientific photography, has seen first-hand the amazing progress in imaging technology over the past 40 years. And now her field is being upended by artificial intelligence (AI). Prof. Süsstrunk is a computer scientist and has headed EPFL’s Images and Visual Representation Laboratory since […]
