EPFL developed tech makes it to the International Space Station
Research
EPFL
The U.S. start-up Cryptosat has taken the EPFL developed Drand protocol, the internet’s first production grade, publicly verifiable randomness beacon, into space for an historic experiment.
Making quantum computers even more powerful
Research
EPFL
Engineers at EPFL have developed a method for reading several qubits – the smallest unit of quantum data – at the same time. Their discovery paves the way to a new generation of even more powerful quantum computers.
The art of science meets the science of art
Research
EPFL
In a unique collaboration with ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, EPFL researchers have developed an algorithm designed to generate some of the world’s first Chinese typefaces, using machine learning.
Mind-controlled robots now one step closer
Research
EPFL
Two EPFL research groups teamed up to develop a machine-learning program that can be connected to a human brain and used to command a robot. The program adjusts the robot’s movements based on electrical signals from the brain. The hope is that with this invention, tetraplegic patients will be able to carry out more day-to-day activities on their own.
Digital twins give fresh insight into the world around us
Research
EPFL
Digital twins are computer-based models of an object or even a human organ, and the technology behind them is advancing at a rapid pace. EPFL will host a series of talks and seminars on this topic at its Digital Twin Days on 15 and 16 November. An ideal opportunity to learn more about the work EPFL researchers are doing in this pioneering field.
The NFT market for digital artwork behaves like social networks
Research
EPFL
In a study of transactions involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which represent digital works of art, EPFL scientists have found that the NFT market has much the same structure as interactions on social networks. Their pioneering study is the first of its kind.
