Roboticists reverse engineer zebrafish navigation

Published:22.10.25 — Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. They provide a complete picture of how brain circuits, body mechanics, and the environment work together to control behavior.

Reinventing computer technology for the benefit of data centers

Published:21.10.25 — In the largest computer systems project ever undertaken at EPFL, an international team of researchers has come up with a new way of building computers to help tackle the increasing challenges faced by data centers.

The tiny droplets that bounce without bursting

Published:20.10.25 — EPFL researchers have discovered that a droplet of liquid can bounce for several minutes – and perhaps indefinitely – over a vibrating solid surface. The seemingly simple observation has big implications for physics and chemistry.

Quantum technology is already here

Published:15.10.25 — Several commercially viable technologies use quantum science for practical applications in health care, environmental monitoring, navigation, communications and particle physics. A public open day celebrates 100 years of quantum physics at EPFL.

A pill that prints

Published:16.10.25 — EPFL researchers have demonstrated the first pill-sized bioprinter that can be swallowed and guided within the gastrointestinal tract, where it directly deposits bio-ink over damaged tissues to support repair.
