By 2050, the aim is for Switzerland’s energy system to be decarbonised and no longer reliant on nuclear power. How this can be achieved and the costs of doing so are set out in a new report by a Swiss research consortium involving researchers from EPFL, ETH Zurich, WSL, the universities of Geneva and Bern, and ZHAW.
The Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology has announced the appointment of professors at EPFL.
Staking out a path to trustworthy AI
Published:21.05.25 — Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) suffers from several types of biases that reflect human failings. How can we avoid being tricked?
The promise and limitations of organoids for scientific research
Published:19.05.25 — Organoids are a promising breakthrough that scientists have been exploring over the past 15 years. These three-dimensional tissue cultures grown from human stem cells stand to revolutionize some aspects of biomedical research, but they won’t do away entirely with the need for animal testing.
AI can help students learn better
Published:16.05.25 — The vast majority of students now use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) programs on a regular basis. Can teachers get students past the principle of least effort and turn these programs into educational tools?
When autonomous mobility learns to wonder
Published:15.05.25 — Autonomous mobility already exists… to some extent. Building an autonomous vehicle that can safely navigate an empty highway is one thing. The real challenge lies in adapting to the dynamic and messy reality of urban environments.
Cracking the code of amorphous drugs for diabetes treatment
Published:14.05.25 — Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated on a GLP-1 receptor agonist candidate for diabetes and obesity treatment.
