Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have built a nanodevice that converts boiling ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

Lausanne's technical university, EPFL, has installed a heating plant with a first floor 4MW data center to provide waste heat. The system replaces oil-fired turbines and will enable EPFL to switch off ...

Scientists working at Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in the lab of renowned PV scientist Michael Grätzel, have developed a new method for testing perovskite solar cells that ...

The history of mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) dates back to the 1990s, when they were demonstrated by Brian O'Regan and Michael Grätzel at Switzerland’s École polytechnique fédérale de ...

Engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a wearable sensing chip that can measure the concentration of cortisol in sweat. Since cortisol is the body's ...

For decades, physicists, engineers and mathematicians failed to explain a remarkable phenomenon in fluid mechanics: the natural tendency of turbulence in fluids to move from disordered chaos to ...

Sunlight has proven to be an excellent formgiver, with which architecture can create dynamic environments. The lighting design pioneer William M.C. Lam (1924-2012) emphasized in his book “Sunlighting ...

A project at Switzerland's EPFL research center has developed a new variant of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) that could substantially accelerate the imaging operation. Described in ...
