Research
New transistor brings high voltage to microchip scale
By harnessing the properties of gallium nitride, EPFL engineers have built a tiny transistor that can handle very high voltage with minimal energy loss, a key requirement for AI data centers, electric vehicles, and solar power systems.
Education
“First-year students ask the same questions as leading scientists”
Philippe Müllhaupt, who was named the best teacher in the mechanical engineering Section for 2025, first learned to appreciate teaching thanks to his music theory professor. Although he quickly gave up music, he never lost his enjoyment of sharing knowledge with others.
Innovation
“Chip cooling will be key to the future of AI”
For his PhD, Remco van Erp conducted pioneering research on liquid cooling systems that can be integrated directly into computer chips. He spoke with us about how the cross-disciplinary approach at EPFL’s POWERlab coupled with the boom in generative AI have catalyzed the growth of his startup, Corintis.
