The major obstacle for commercialization is the stability of perovskite devices

Scientists have developed microscopic, hydrogel-based muscles that can manipulate and mechanically stimulate biological tissue

A new discovery is rarely the result of one successful experiment. Rather, it is usually born from a long process of trial and error

New rehabilitation protocols lead to restored neurological function in paraplegics

Drawing on the fact that the snow in an avalanche can behave like both a solid and a fluid, a researcher has managed to simulate a snow slab avalanche with unrivaled precision

Researchers have created nanoparticles that attract viruses and, using the pressure resulting from the binding process, destroy them

The labs of Cécile Hébert and Pascal Fua at EPFL have developed an electron microscopy method that can obtain 3D images of complex curvilinear structures without needing to tilt the sample

The new ligand brings together the advantages of both fatty acids and peptides

"We have achieved 300-nanometer patterns, but we could easily make them as small as several tens of nanometers"

Scientists have developed a gel for growing miniaturized body organs that can be used in clinical diagnostics and drug development

Using a unique ultra-fast spectroscopic technique, EPFL scientists have now been able to track the fate of charged pairs in an advanced type of solar cells currently under intense research

Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne have developed an osmotic power generation system that delivers never-before-seen yields

The future of prosthetic touch resolution: Mimicking touch.

Scientists at EPFL have used a new imaging technique to monitor how glucose, our main energy source, is used in the body. Their findings may have great implications for diseases like diabetes.

A robot developed by EPFL researchers is capable of reacting on the spot and grasping objects with complex shapes and trajectories in less than five hundredths of a second.
