Researchers at EPFL have precisely quantified convection heat transfer in rail tunnels. Using the new model, they estimated how much energy Lausanne could save by fitting the future M3 metro line with a geothermal heat-recovery system, in what would be a world first.

Researchers bring diurnal and seasonal variations into the lab to test the performance of perovskite solar cells under realistic conditions.

EPFL's Laboratory for Ultrafast Microscopy and Electron Scattering has received a grant from Google to use shaped electron beams in the cutting-edge field of Nuclear Excitation by Electron Capture (NEEC).

Continuing its investment in EPFL, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has awarded a grant to the lab of Gioele La Manno , together with the Karolinska Institute and The University of Edinburgh.

By combining genetic and environmental databases, researchers at EPFL are seeking to help biologists identify more accurately the animal and plant species most exposed to climate change, in order to develop appropriate conservation methods.

Urolithin A, a metabolite of biomolecules found in pomegranates and other fruits, could help slow certain aging processes.
