Novel printing process switches materials from black to transparent
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have developed a new type of printing process that involves removing material rather than depositing it. Their method could be particularly useful for printing banknotes and ID documents, for example.
Localis-rex: a new tool for studying electrophile signaling
Research
EPFL
A team of researchers led by Professor Yimon Aye at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences has developed a new screening method to explore an important biological process known as electrophile signaling.
Software that orchestrates secure and compliant data collaborations
TechTransfer
EPFL
As businesses grow increasingly reliant on data to make strategic decisions, more and more companies and organizations decide to collaborate and share information with each other. EPFL spin-off Tune Insight has developed a software program that allows users to process and analyze encrypted data from multiple sources, while keeping sensitive and confidential information protected against theft.
Blocking sphingolipids counteracts muscular dystrophy
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have made the first link between muscular dystrophy and a group of bioactive fats, the sphingolipids, which are involved in numerous cell functions and other diseases.
Getting hydrogen out of banana peels
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have developed a way to maximize hydrogen yields from biowaste, within few milliseconds. The method uses rapid photo-pyrolysis to produce hydrogen gas and solid conductive carbon from banana peels.
Deforestation-free and carbon-negative alternatives for palm oil
Research
EPFL WSL
A team of scientists from EPFL and Switzerland’s WSL research institute has studied the conversion of savannas into oil palm plantations as a deforestation-free way of growing these plantations. What’s more, if improved management practices are adopted at the plantation scale, then the net carbon balance could be enhanced and a great leap could be made towards reducing the environmental impact of palm oil.
