Manufacturing products and drugs will be safer and more efficient in the future, thanks to the use of microreactors being developed at cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne (EPFL). The invention promises to make it possible to manufacture drugs, cosmetics and household products in a safer and more efficient manner, using a new kind of microreactor ...

cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne (EPFL) physicists have succeeded for the first time in preventing the development of instabilities in a nuclear fusion reactor. Its an important step forward in the effort to build the ITER fusion reactor, currently in development in Southern France. Nuclear fusion is an attempt to reproduce the energy of the ...

A joint research project using robots, conducted by researchers at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and EPFL, showed that communication systems can evolve differently within the same species and even the same environment. The research could enable a better understanding of communication within the animal kingdom. Scientists followed the evolution of communication in 100 groups ...
