Digital transport technology is catching on, from apps that let you buy train tickets with a single swipe to sophisticated car-sharing systems. They may be easy to use, but such transport services often mask an array of complex technical, financial and public-policy decisions.

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows promise for bone repair applications.

The Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology has announced the appointment of professors at EPFL.

Researchers have developed preclinical models for invasive lobular carcinoma and trialed a new drug. It slows tumor growth effectively by targeting specific features of the disease and opening the door to future clinical trials.

Researchers at EPFL, Heidelberg University and Roche have built a human mini-bladder to show how urine composition weakens bladder tissue, helping infections recur even after antibiotics.

A team of researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics - using with Newton's third law.

Plastic recycling is entering a new era, thanks to smart sorting systems and chemical processes that break the material down into its constituent monomers. Research and innovation are giving rise to new approaches for a bolder, more sustainable circular economy.

Quantum computing could be one of the big technological revolutions of the coming decades. EPFL is working on making it accessible and useful for addressing pressing global issues.

Under the EPFL-led ADOPT project, researchers are combining AI satellite-image recognition with drift prediction models to improve the collection of plastic debris in the ocean. The technology has passed the proof-of-concept stage and is ready for field testing.

This week, EPFL is hosting Sustainability Week, with a public open house on Saturday, March 7. How EPFL has halved its volume of incinerable waste over the past ten years? We spoke with two of the people who are helping to change our habits - and our campuses - one bin at a time.

Plant-based alternatives are promising, but none will be effective unless we also rethink our production methods in a way that supports a sustainable transition - and the costs that come with it.

The presence of dogs changes the gas, particle and microbial composition of the surrounding air. This impact has now been quantified, thanks to a recent study led by researchers from EPFL.

A nanodevice developed at EPFL produces an autonomous, stable current from evaporating saltwater by using heat and light to control the movement of ions and electrons.

A new study sheds light on a previously overlooked mechanism of soil erosion that occurs just after raindrops hit the ground. The research was conducted in part by Bertil Trottet, an EPFL physicist who also runs a family tree farm in Féchy.
