Theory and experiments to understand a contact between two filaments Research EPFL Mechanical engineers and mathematicians at EPFL have joined forces to gain a better understanding of the geometry and mechanics of two filaments in contact – as in the cases of knots and woven fabrics. 3D models to explore the future of urban digitization TechTransfer EPFL A multidisciplinary Swiss team explored the future of urban digitization in its theoretical, technical, and legal dimensions by modeling the city of Sion with an innovative ScanVan. “Molecular Tomographer” algorithm maps gene expression in space Research EPFL EPFL scientists have developed an algorithm that can work out the spatial pattern of gene expression inside the body without the need for microscopes and complicated equipment used currently. A portable device for taking DNA measurements in the field Research EPFL GenoRobotics is an interdisciplinary EPFL project to develop a portable, automated device for extracting and sequencing DNA in any type of environment. The project team hopes their invention will make it easier and faster to map our planet’s biodiversity. Perovskite solar cells exceed 25% power-conversion efficiency Research EPFL Physical chemists and chemical engineers led by EPFL have used a chemical tweak to push the power-conversion efficiency and operational stability of perovskite solar cells to 25.6% and at least 450 hours respectively. Bioprinted mini pancreas will help in the fight against diabetes Research EPFL EPFL spin-off Readily3D has developed a novel system that can print biological tissue in just 30 seconds. The firm’s technology is being used in a large-scale European project to develop a living model of the pancreas for testing new drugs. Previous 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94... Next Page 90 of 96
