Joint initiative for trustworthy AI
ETH Zurich and EPFL are launching the “Swiss AI Initiative”, whose purpose is to position Switzerland as a leading global hub for the development and implementation of transparent and reliable artificial intelligence (AI). The new Alps supercomputer based at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) provides the supporting world-class infrastructure.
A color-based sensor to emulate skin's sensitivity
In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, EPFL researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli.
Training algorithm breaks barriers to deep physical neural networks
EPFL researchers have developed an algorithm to train an analog neural network just as accurately as a digital one, enabling the development of more efficient alternatives to power-hungry deep learning hardware.
Laser Additive Manufacturing: listening for defects as they happen
Researchers from EPFL have resolved a long-standing debate surrounding laser additive manufacturing processes with a pioneering approach to defect detection.
New technology can collect CO2 from a truck's exhaust pipe
EPFL spin-off Qaptis has developed a system that can cut freight trucks’ carbon emissions by up to 90%. The company just installed a prototype of its technology at a freight carrier based in Tolochenaz in order to conduct pilot tests locally.
Redefining energy efficiency in data processing
Developed by EPFL researchers, the first large-scale in-memory processor using 2D semiconductor materials could substantially cut the ICT sector’s energy footprint.
A Bandpass Filter for Synthetic Biology
EPFL scientists have crafted a biological system that mimics an electronic bandpass filter, a novel sensor that could revolutionize self-regulated biological mechanisms in synthetic biology.
The future of construction with more sustainable cement
A new material developed at EPFL could change how we make cement forever — and cut 500 million tons of emissions by 2030.
A micro-ring resonator with big potential EPFL researchers have developed a hybrid device that significantly improves existing, ubiquitous laser technology.
SP80 boat ready to take off The SP80 team has just attached a kite to its sailboat, in another step towards its goal of breaking the current world record and reaching a speed of 150 km/h. The SP80 venture, now in its fifth year, is pooling the skills of EPFL students and alumni, including those from the School of Engineering, to build an ultra-fast sailboat powered only by the wind.
Getting our data centers under control Within the context of the Solutions4Sustainability program, EPFL has funded the Heating Bits project in an effort to reign in the soaring carbon footprint of data centers.
