Supercheap Hydrogen Recipe: Sunlight + Water + Rust
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Nov. 12, 2012 — Water and rust have been used to produce hydrogen from sunlight supereconomically, a team from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) reports.
Between Light and Mechanics, A Quantum Connection
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Feb. 3, 2012 — In a new microscopic system, light is converted into a mechanical oscillation and then back to light in an interaction so strong that it allows oscillator motion control at the quantum level.
Lasers Evolve to Meet the Demands of Optical Communications
Feb 1, 2012 — Long-distance, high-speed communication depends on lasers to provide the optical power source. But this application is becoming more and more demanding, especially in terms of power consumption, price and bandwidth. With ever-increasing demands on...
Technology tracks movements of individual athletes
LAUSANNE, Switzerland – In team sports, single players can sometimes get lost on the crowded field. But a new system can follow multiple players at once, even when they’re buried under a pile of bodies in a football tackle or crouching behind another player. The...
Could optofluidics solve the energy challenge?
Nov 1, 2011 — Optofluidics could be poised to revolutionize energy production, according to Demetri Psaltis, dean of the engineering school at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. Optofluidics is the combination of...
Former Bookham Director Named BeamExpress Chairman
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 5, 2011 — Peter Bordui, former chairman of Bookham (now Oclaro) and a veteran of the fiber optics telco industry, has joined the board of directors at BeamExpress SA as its chairman, the company announced. BeamExpress also has completed a $3 million...
Si Alternative is Better Than Graphene
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Feb. 7, 2011 — Smaller and more energy-efficient electronic chips could be made using molybdenite, a material developed in Switzerland. EPFL's Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) published a study showing that this material has distinct...
Pocket Projector Realized
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 22, 2010 — The projector of the future, 1 cm³ of technology that can be integrated into a portable computer or mobile telephone, is about to take the market by storm. Lemoptix, a spinoff of École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne...
Bioimaging Concept SPADnet Funded
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 17, 2010 — SPADnet (Fully Networked, Digital Components for Photon-starved Biomedical Imaging Systems) is a new collaborative research project funded by the European Union within the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Theme of its Seventh...
Solar design triumphs through thick and thin
Sep 1, 2010 — The quest for high power-conversion efficiency in most thin-film solar cells has often been hindered by the “thick and thin” challenge, in which a cell must be thick enough to collect a sufficient amount of light, yet thin enough to...
Swiss Research Institutions Rated Among Best in World
Aug 1, 2010 — Some of its best-known exports may include watches, chocolate and cheese, but Switzerland also is home to a healthy photonics industry, which, according to an October 2009 report by Swiss-based consulting firm Optech Consulting, has generated a...
Unusual Quasar Cosmic Lens Found
PASADENA, Calif., July 22, 2010 — Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology and École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have discovered the first known case of a distant galaxy being magnified by a quasar acting as a gravitational lens. The...
VCSELs Key to High-Speed Communication
GRENOBLE, France, Feb. 18, 2010 – Research on long-wavelength VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers) is aimed at finding an efficient and reliable technological answer to the ever-growing demands for bandwidth in telecommunication networks. The European project...
'Pyrex'-like Nanoparticles
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 8, 2008 – Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reported a new procedure that has produced "Pyrex"-like nanoparticles. Currently most nanoparticles are made of polymers or silica glass. Because of the large surface-to-volume...
Seeing the Sky in 3-D
PAYERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 29, 2008 – Meteorologists in western Switzerland will now use light to detect temperature and humidity in the atmosphere. Designed by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and funded by the Swiss National Science Foudnation, the new Lidar...
Subsurfaces Seen Sharply
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 21, 2008 -- The high penetration power of x-rays has been combined with diffraction imaging to create a novel x-ray microscope that makes it possible, for the first time, to view the detailed interiors of semiconductor devices and cellular structures. The...
Sharper X-rays Developed
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Jan. 22, 2008 -- Using novel x-ray optical components instead of sophisticated crystal optics has allowed dark-field images to be produced at wavelengths used in common medical and industrial imaging equipment. The dark-field images provide more detail than ordinary...
