As part of the LIMITLESS project, scientists from EPFL, HEIG-VD and Swisspod have completed the longest-ever vacuum capsule journey in Europe's first operational Hyperloop test facility.
EPFL raises the bar on high-precision research
Teaching
EPFL
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 will be built on the site of the Colladon parking lot, with construction starting in 2026. Architecture firms KAAN Architecten in Rotterdam and Celnikier & Grabli Architectes in Paris won the RFP. 
Neurotechnology boosts memory without surgery
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in addressing dementia in an aging population without medication or surgery.
A lung pathogen's dilemma: infect or resist antibiotics?
Research
EPFL
A new study by EPFL reveals that the notorious bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa must balance between effectively colonizing human airways and developing antibiotic tolerance to survive.
Towards comfortable, interactive and zero-carbon buildings
TechTransfer
EPFL
In the future, buildings will provide enhanced, more personalized comfort to occupants while also achieving zero carbon emissions. This will be possible thanks to advances in sensors and AI, enabling new ways of interacting with our environments while leaving ultimate control in occupants’ hands. Yet, as users, we’ll also need to make lasting changes to our habits.
New benchmark helps solve the hardest quantum problems
Research
EPFL PSI
Predicting the behavior of many interacting quantum particles is a complicated process but is key to harness quantum computing for real-world applications. A collaboration of researchers led by EPFL has developed a method for comparing quantum algorithms and identifying which quantum problems are the hardest to solve.
