EPFL is one of the two federal technical schools (university) in Switzerland. Like the ETH in Zurich, it has three missions: education of students, scientific research and technology transfer. EPFL is located near Lausanne on the shores of the Lake Geneva. It has a campus of more than 10,000 people. The school stimulates collaboration between students, professors, researchers and entrepreneurs. These daily interactions give rise to new and work in science, technology and architecture.

When autonomous mobility learns to wonder

Microtechnics - May 15
Microtechnics

Autonomous mobility already exists... to some extent. Building an autonomous vehicle that can safely navigate an empty highway is one thing. The real challenge lies in adapting to the dynamic and messy reality of urban environments.

Pedagogy - May 16

AI can help students learn better

The vast majority of students now use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) programs on a regular basis. Can teachers get students past the principle of least effort and turn these programs into educational tools?

Robotic hand moves objects with human-like grasps

Microtechnics

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.

Graphic novel explains the environmental impact of AI

Environment

EPFL's Center for Learning Sciences (LEARN) is releasing Utop'IA, an educational graphic novel that explores the environmental impact of artificial intelligence. The book, developed in association with author and illustrator Herji, will be launched at a public event at the Rolex Learning Center at 6:30pm on Tuesday, 20 May.

Tire additives found deposited on fruits and vegetables

Agronomy & Food Science

A study by EPFL and the Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) has found that tire additives enter into and pass through the food chain. Further research is needed to establish the implications for human health.

EPFL premieres Public Portal to Anticipation at Expo 2025 Osaka

Event

The Geneva Public Portal to Anticipation ( Portal ), created by the EPFL Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+) in collaboration with the Geneva Science Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) , is an interactive installation that offers visitors a way to explore and co-create speculative futures based on anticipated scientific breakthroughs.

An earth-abundant mineral for sustainable spintronics

Physics

Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing.

Soft brainstem implant delivers high-resolution hearing

Health

Researchers have developed a flexible auditory brainstem implant (ABI) that closely conforms to the curved surface of the brainstem. The technology has been successfully demonstrated high-resolution "prosthetic hearing" in macaques.

Cracking the code of amorphous drugs for diabetes treatment

Physics

Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated on a GLP-1 receptor agonist candidate for diabetes and obesity treatment.

A step towards understanding machine intelligence the human way

Life Sciences

Researchers have discovered key 'units' in large AI models that seem to be important for language, mirroring the brain's language system. When these specific units were turned off, the models got much worse at language tasks.

Eco-friendly aquatic robot is made from fish food

Microtechnics

An edible robot made by scientists leverages a combination of biodegradable fuel and surface tension to zip around the water's surface, creating a safe - and nutritious - alternative to environmental monitoring devices made from artificial polymers and electronics.

Biological particles may be crucial for inducing heavy rain

Environment

EPFL atmospheric and climate scientists show that biological particles may induce rain events that could contribute to flooding and snowstorms, owing to their ability to precipitate ice formation in clouds. They call for an update of meteorological and climate models.
