Driven by AI, the advent of autonomous mobility has accelerated in recent years. It has advantages that go beyond the asphalt. 

EPFL and CSEM researchers have achieved a record 30% efficiency for triple-junction solar cells, which combine two thin-film perovskite cells and one silicon cell on a single device. The milestone could advance affordable next-generation solar technologies for space and terrestrial applications.

Quantum computing could be one of the big technological revolutions of the coming decades. EPFL is working on making it accessible and useful for addressing pressing global issues.

Under the EPFL-led ADOPT project, researchers are combining AI satellite-image recognition with drift prediction models to improve the collection of plastic debris in the ocean. The technology has passed the proof-of-concept stage and is ready for field testing.

As part of the Week of Action Against Racism, EPFL is exploring the issue of algorithmic discrimination. Ahead of a public conference on campus dedicated to the topic, we've taken a closer look at the "black box."

Digital transport technology is catching on, from apps that let you buy train tickets with a single swipe to sophisticated car-sharing systems. They may be easy to use, but such transport services often mask an array of complex technical, financial and public-policy decisions.

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows promise for bone repair applications.

The Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology has announced the appointment of professors at EPFL.
