Robot Assisted Surgery: Four Arms Are Better Than Two
Roboticists at EPFL's School of Engineering have combined multi-limb manipulation with advanced shared control augmentation for an unprecedented advance in the field of laparoscopic surgery. The results, published in The International Journal of Robotics Research, confirm the feasibility of the setup for reducing surgeon workload and improving precision and safety.
A Novel Biosensor for Detecting Neurogenerative Disease Protiens
By combining multiple advanced technologies into a single system, EPFL researchers have made a significant step forward in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This novel device is known as the ImmunoSEIRA sensor, a biosensing technology that enables the detection and identification of misfolded protein biomarkers associated with NDDs.
Exploring a new approach to treating collapsed airways in newborns In collaboration with CHUV, engineers from EPFL's School of Engineering propose wrapping an adhesive hydrogel patch around a collapsed trachea for treatment of Tracheomalacia.
EPFL and CSEM Achieve Landmark Photovoltaic Efficiency Milestone Breakthrough in renewable energy technology offers promising path to cheaper and more efficient solar electricity with perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.
Nanophotonics Summer School Draws Experts From Around The Globe Forty-four PhD and Master students from Switzerland and Europe participated in a week long summer school this July to train on fundamentals and advanced research topics in the field of Nanophotonics. With the support of the Doctoral Program in Photonics (EDPO) and their advisors, five PhD students from EPFL and ETHZ organized the week of lectures by international experts and extended discussions about current scientific challenges and societal impact of nanophotonic technologies.Read more about the School of Engineering Read all the news from the School of Engineering and learn more about the Joint Best Paper Award at AdvML-Frontiers Workshop, Dr. Isabel Haasler who received best paper award at SIAM conference, Naïg Chenais who won the 2023 Lopez-Loreta Prize, Mert Kayaalp who received Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE SSP, and much more...
