EPFL spin-off creates award winning virtual reality
OZWE Games – an EPFL spin-off that develops virtual-reality games – won the 2019 Swiss National Business of the Year Award and will be…
Metalenses for VR and imaging applications
Metalenses — flat surfaces that use nanostructures to focus light — are poised to revolutionize everything from microscopy to cameras, sensors, and displays. But so far, most of…
Munich is to gain a status of European Innovation Hub
In the future the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and UnternehmerTUM, Center for Innovation and Business Creation, will be supporting teams from other countries…
100-years old physics enigma resolved
An EPFL Bachelor’s student has solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for 100 years. He discovered why gas bubbles in narrow vertical tubes…
Platform for stable quantum computing and exotic physics
Harvard University researchers have demonstrated the first material that can have both strongly correlated electron interactions and topological properties. This discovery not only paves…
New quantum squeezing device to detect gravitational wave signals
Just a year ago, the National Science Foundation-funded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO, was picking up whispers of gravitational waves every month or…
Acoustic waves control properties of solids
Physicists from Switzerland, Germany, and France have found that large-amplitude acoustic waves, launched by ultrashort laser pulses, can dynamically manipulate the optical response of…
New low energy consumption three-level memory device is created
Scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) developed a new three-valued memory device inspired by solid…
Overheating mobile devices is potentially resolved
Modern computer memory encodes information by switching magnetic bits within devices. Now, a ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering has found…
