Simulating how fruit flies see, smell, and navigate
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have advanced their NeuroMechFly model, simulating fruit fly movement in the real world. With integrated vision and smell, it helps us understand brain-body coordination, setting a path for neuroengineering's role in robotics and AI.
EPFL and UM6P extend their collaboration to green energy research
Politics
EPFL
EPFL and Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) have taken a new step in their collaboration by signing an agreement to expand their cooperation in the field of green energies.
New type of weather radiosonde can find its way back
Research
EPFL
Some 80% of weather radiosondes – remote measurement instruments containing plastic, batteries and electronic parts – end up lost in nature after one flight. But a startup created by an EPFL master’s student is set to change that with a new, ultra-lightweight “glidersonde” that can automatically return to where it was launched.
Record broken for the longest Hyperloop trial at EPFL
TechTransfer
EPFL
As part of the LIMITLESS project, scientists from EPFL, HEIG-VD and Swisspod have completed the longest-ever vacuum capsule journey in Europe's first operational Hyperloop test facility.
EPFL raises the bar on high-precision research
Teaching
EPFL
Today’s basic research relies on instruments that are so sensitive that they essentially need to be cut off from the outside world. That’s the idea behind the Advanced Science Building (ASB), a future on-campus structure that will accommodate cutting-edge research labs on seven floors, including two underground. It will be built on the site of the Colladon parking lot, with construction starting in 2026. Architecture firms KAAN Architecten in Rotterdam and Celnikier & Grabli Architectes in Paris won the RFP. 
Neurotechnology boosts memory without surgery
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in addressing dementia in an aging population without medication or surgery.
