Atom-thin graphene membranes make carbon capture more efficient

Scientists at EPFL have developed advanced atom-thin graphene membranes with pyridinic-nitrogen at pore edges, showing unprecedented performance in CO₂ capture. It marks a significant stride toward more efficient carbon capture technologies.

Membrane protein analogues could accelerate drug discovery

EPFL researchers have created a deep learning pipeline for designing soluble analogues of key protein structures used in pharmaceutical development, sidestepping the prohibitive cost of extracting these proteins from cell membranes.

Mapping the biology of spinal cord injury in unprecedented detail

Combining advanced molecular mapping technologies and AI, researchers have published an open-source ‘atlas’ in Nature, providing a comprehensive understanding of spinal cord injury biology in mice and paving the way for new therapies.

Building a blueprint of metabolic health – from mouse to human

In a new study, EPFL scientists have uncovered the complex genetic and environmental interactions influencing metabolic health and have validated their findings in actual human data.

Robots au chocolat for dessert?

A fully edible robot could soon end up on our plate if we overcome some technical hurdles, say EPFL scientists involved in RoboFood – an EU-funded project which aims to marry robots and food.

Fruit fly brain shows how simple commands turn into complex behaviors

Researchers at EPFL have discovered how networks of neurons in fruit flies transform simple brain signals into coordinated actions. This sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviors for potential application in robotics.
