On Monday, three teams of students from the first edition of MSE-433: Towards Sustainable Materials, received prizes for semester projects that proposed creative alternatives to existing products.

Two research groups in the Lake Geneva region have been selected for the 2025 Leenaards Science Prize, which comes with a total of CHF 1.4 million in award money. One of the research groups, led by Li Tang of the Laboratory of Biomaterials for Immunoengineering in EPFL’s School of Engineering, is exploring a new approach to overcoming canc…

EPFL scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally self-organize into crystalline supramolecular networks. This significant discovery could change the design of synthetic molecules for network growth at the nanoscale.

In the latest rankings issued by Clarivate, three distinguished professors from EPFL’s School of Engineering (STI) have been recognized as part of the elite group of the most cited researchers of the year.

The Materials Science Section (SMX) in the School of Engineering celebrated its 50th birthday last Thursday with an event highlighting the history and future of materials research and education at EPFL.

Construction is underway on the 85-meter Tilia Tower near Lausanne: the first large-scale building in Switzerland to be built with a low-carbon cement developed in EPFL’s Lab of Construction Materials.
