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 ...

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 ...

In today's manufacturing environments, upgrading a robot fleet often means starting from scratch—not only replacing hardware, ...

A project at Swiss research center EPFL has manufactured a palm-sized all-glass GHz femtosecond laser cavity, potentially offering a novel route to free-space femtosecond lasers. Conventional ...

Robotics and AI are reaching heights that we had probably only seen in sci-fi movies earlier. Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled Raven (Robotic ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

A project at Swiss research center EPFL has developed a novel framework for optical neural networks, one that exploits multiple scattering from a low-power laser to carry out its functions. Published ...

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 ...

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 ...
