EPFL launches new Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
Research
EPFL
EPFL’s new Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE Center) will establish and promote programs for cross-disciplinary research, education and innovation in the fields of quantum science and engineering.
Charging stations can combine hydrogen production and energy storage
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have developed a new system that addresses two top priorities of the energy transition: clean hydrogen production and large-scale energy storage. Their technology could be particularly useful in transportation applications.
Uncertainty spurs scientific progress
Research
EPFL
EPFL summer series: how science works. Citizens and scientists have two very different ways of reasoning. While citizens find comfort in certainty, scientists need to continually challenge the facts. Is it possible for these two groups to find common ground?
Improving contact-tracing apps in the COVID-19 era
Research
EPFL
An international collaboration with EPFL has developed a method to improve the performance of COVID-19 contact-tracing apps by taking into account a user’s recent contacts, risk levels and shared information about tests and symptoms.
Optical technology can slash the energy required by AI
Research
EPFL
EPFL engineers are pioneering an energy-saving technology that uses fiber optics to boost the performance of supercomputers.
Helping engineers better predict clay landslides
Research
EPFL
Norway experiences dangerous landslides due to its clay-rich soil. For her Master’s thesis in civil engineering at EPFL, Mathilde Metral outlined steps that the country’s geotechnical engineers can take to improve the predictive computer model they’re currently developing.
