EPFL team discover thousands of new transformable knots
Research
EPFL
Leveraging results from knot theory and using physical simulation, researchers in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) have created a data set of thousands of different elastic knots that can be used in the design of new structures.
Peering into Nanofluidic Mysteries One Photon at a Time
Research
EPFL
EPFL and University of Manchester researchers unlock secrets of nanofluidics using a 2D material and light.
Unraveling complex systems: the Backtracking Method
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL and Charles University have developed a new method to analyze the dynamical, out-of-equilibrium properties of complex disordered systems, such as gold with magnetic impurities or opinions spreading on social media.
A contradiction at the heart of physics
Research
ETH Zurich
Quantum mechanics describes the forces that hold the world together on the smallest scale. The theory of relativity explains the world at the cosmic level. The two seem incompatible – and a unifying theory is nowhere in sight.
Computation Model Paves the Way for More Efficient Energy Systems
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers make theoretical breakthrough in thermoelectric material to better harness waste heat for sustainable energy.
Mystery of microgels solved
Research
PSI
Researchers at PSI and the University of Barcelona have managed to explain the strange behaviour of microgels. Their measurements using neutron beams have pushed this measuring technique to its limits. The results open up opportunities for new applications in materials and pharmaceutical research.
