EPFL scientists have discovered how the molecular motor protein dynein regulates the all-important separation of centrosomes during cell division. Read more

Researchers led by EPFL have found how lactate, a waste product of glucose metabolism can protect neurons from damage following acute trauma such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Read more

Researchers led by EPFL have made a tiny, ring-shaped device that can generate a pulsed laser signal. Their work could be used in telecommunications applications and in chemical analysis– Read more

EPFL scientists have developed a solar-panel material that can cut down on photovoltaic costs while achieving competitive power-conversion efficiency of 20.2%. Read more

EPFL scientists have developed a new method that helps cells turn into usable stem cells. The approach involves “squeezing” cells with a gel, and paves the way for large-scale production of stem cells for medical purposes. Read more
