Nanoplasmonic imaging reveals real-time protein secretion
EPFL researchers have used a nanoplasmonics approach to observe the real-time production of cell secretions, including proteins and antibodies; an advancement that could aid in the development of cancer treatments, vaccines, and other therapies.
Engineering molecular interactions with machine learning
By using deep learning-generated ‘fingerprints’ to characterize millions of protein fragments, EPFL researchers have computationally designed novel protein binders that attach seamlessly to key targets, including the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
Insights into efficient solar cells from earth-abundant elements
The School of Engineering’s Laboratory of Semiconductor Materials (LMSC), led by Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, has recently published an article on the potential of zinc phosphide, a semiconductor made of earth-abundant elements, for solar cell production.
Cryo-imaging lifts the lid on fuel cell catalyst layers
Thanks to a novel combination of cryogenic transmission electron tomography and deep learning, EPFL researchers have provided a first look at the nanostructure of platinum catalyst layers, revealing how they could be optimized for fuel cell efficiency.
EPFL School of Engineering Advisory Board meets in Lausanne On April 28th, the Advisory Board of the School of Engineering (STI) met for a daylong discussion aimed at sharing knowledge and providing strategic recommendations to the school’s management. For the last four years at EPFL, a Master’s course jointly run by the College of Management of Technology and the School of Engineering has been winning over students seeking a course that meets the needs of local industry.
The engineer who sets scientific texts to music An EPFL microengineering alumnus was awarded a prize in the 3rd choral composition competition at FestyVocal, an international biennial of contemporary vocal music, for his composition that combines his love of music and with his fascination for space.
Photographs reveal the hidden beauty of research Nineteen works, including two by School of Engineering (STI) researchers, particularly impressed the international jury of the 2023 SNSF Scientific Image Competition. They reveal hidden beauty in research, tell tales of happy coincidences and explore new perspectives on the world around us.
A solar hydrogen system that co-generates heat and oxygen EPFL researchers have built a pilot-scale solar reactor that produces usable heat and oxygen, in addition to generating hydrogen with unprecedented efficiency for its size. A parabolic dish on the EPFL campus is easily overlooked, resembling a satellite dish or other telecommunications infrastructure. But this dish is special, because it works like an artificial tree.
