Computation Model Paves the Way for More Efficient Energy Systems
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers make theoretical breakthrough in thermoelectric material to better harness waste heat for sustainable energy.
Valuable raw materials from olive waste
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
ETH spin-off Gaia Tech transforms waste from olive oil production into high-quality antioxidants for use in cosmetics or food. This turns waste into valuable raw materials.
Capturing carbon where it is produced
Research
EPFL
EPFL engineers propose a system-wide integration solution for carbon capturing and mineralisation in the cement production, steel manufacturing, and waste incineration sectors. 
Exploring a new approach to treating collapsed airways in newborns
Research
EPFL
In collaboration with CHUV, EPFL engineers propose wrapping an adhesive hydrogel patch around a collapsed trachea for treatment of Tracheomalacia.
Robot team on lunar exploration tour
Research
ETH Zurich
Swiss engineers are training legged robots for future lunar missions that will search for minerals and raw materials. To ensure that the robots can continue to work even if one of them malfunctions, the researchers are teaching them teamwork.
Mori3: a polygon shapeshifting robot for space travel
Research
EPFL
Jamie Paik and her team of researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering have created an origami-like robot that can change shape, move around and interact with objects and people.
