EPFL
In a first for Switzerland, EPFL contributes to kaon research
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers, working with the Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille, have developed a new method for identifying neutrinos using data from CERN’s NA62 experiment—which recently observed the rarest particle decay ever recorded.
Ultra-broadband photonic chip boosts optical signals
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL and IBM Research have developed a compact optical amplifier based on a photonic chip that vastly outperforms traditional optical amplifiers in both bandwidth and efficiency. This breakthrough could reshape data center interconnects, AI accelerators, and high-performance computing.
Gut bacteria heal the colon
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have uncovered how a gut bacterium, Clostridium scindens, aids in healing intestinal injuries by restoring bile acid balance. Their findings could pave the way for new treatments for ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Unlocking the secrets of phase transitions in quantum hardware
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ultra-sensitive sensors.
Robotics and spinal stimulation restore movement in paralysis
Research
EPFL
Scientists at .Neurorestore (EPFL/CHUV/UNIL) have developed an approach that combines rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord stimulation to restore movement in people with spinal cord injuries. The technology enhances rehabilitation and enables activities like cycling and walking outdoors.
Unraveling the brain's hidden motor modules
Research
EPFL
Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes movement.
