Next-generation camera can better locate tumors
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL and Dartmouth College in the US have developed a system that can, for the first time, both pinpoint the exact location of a tumor and measure its depth. Their technology employs a high-tech camera developed at EPFL’s Advanced Quantum Architecture Laboratory.
Watching and analyzing T cells attack cancer cells in real time
Research
EPFL
A new assay developed by EPFL spin-off Nanolive opens up promising avenues of research for immuno-oncology treatments. It allows scientists to directly see and quantify how T cells find, bind, stress and kill cancer cells.
Computer scientists take on the quantum challenge
Research
ETH Zurich
For a long time, the development of quantum computers was concerned with theoretical and hardware aspects. But as the focus shifts towards programming, software and security issues, the classical computer sciences are coming back into play.
When art and technology intermingle, the copies are real
Teaching
EPFL
Starting September 17, 2021, EPFL Pavilions will host an exceptional exhibition, "Deep Fakes: Art and Its Double". Organised by EPFL and University of Lausanne, using artificial intelligence and the latest scientific imaging technologies, it immerses the public in the depths of artistic and cultural doubles.
We are less sceptical of genetic engineering than assumed
Politics
ETH Zurich
We often hear that Swiss consumers want their agriculture to be free from genetic engineering. But consumer acceptance of genetically modified crops is likely to be higher than the media leads us to believe, Angela Bearth says.
Sprint – From dismantling to re-use as fast as possible
TechTransfer
Empa
Sprint sets new standards for circular construction: In only ten months, flexible and COVID-19-compliant office spaces were built at NEST, the research and innovation platform of Empa and Eawag, using mostly reused materials and components. The new NEST unit demonstrates: The stock of reusable materials and the re-use potential in the construction industry are huge and just need to be picked up and utilized.
