Their innovation allows for enhanced reliability and traceability, and can save life-science researchers time and money. Deep learning and metamaterials make the invisible visibleBy combining purpose-built materials and neural networks, researchers at EPFL's School of Engineering have shown that sound can be used in high-resolution imagery. Mathematical program helps doctors perform more efficient radiosurgerEngineers at EPFL and local startup Intuitive Therapeutics have developed software that can produce optimized surgical plans for Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Doctors at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) began using the software in July. Using air to amplify light In a promising breakthrough for the future of communications, EPFL researchers have developed a technology that can amplify light in the latest hollow-core optical fibers. Using viscous metals in micro fibers EPFL scientists have developed the first micro-structured fibers with a viscous metal inside – a perfect example of what cross-disciplinary teamwork can achieve.
