LIPID, Maryline Andersen “The Disc” in the Agora amphitheater, funded by the Fondation Lombard Odier, serves as both a cover and a tiered seating structure. Measuring 30 m in diameter and towering 6.5 meters high, it dominates the Place Cosandey. This leisure space was designed by EPFL students, under the supervision of the Design Studio on the Conception of Space, run by Dieter Dietz. Photonic microchips produced in the Center of MicroNanoTechnology and used by teams in Tobias Kippenberg's Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements. They contain optical ‘waveguides’ that direct light at the enormous intensities required to generate new frequencies of laser light. A visual representation of the virtual, this 2-bit 512-resolution matrix illustrates the final step in a major cryptanalytic computation. Laboratory for Cryptologic Algorithms, Arjen K. Lenstra. Developed as part of the EU-funded ASSISIbf project, RiBot is used to study interactions between robots and fish. The robot, which is capable of influencing a school's decisions, is flexible, measures just 60 mm in length, and has a working caudal fin. Robotic Systems Laboratory, Francesco Mondada. Professor Oates established a state-of-the-art automated facility on campus to enable research on birth defects, cancer, and neurological disorders. Oateslab, Andy Oates. Severe spinal cord injuries can result in a range of disabilities, including permanent motor impairment. Professor Courtine's team has developed a therapy that enables fully paralyzed rats to regain supraspinal control of their leg movements. Courtine-Lab, Grégoire Courtine. The TWIICE One exoskeleton helps people with paraplegia stand, walk and even climb stairs. Weighing just 16 kg, the exoskeleton becomes one with the user, who can put it on without assistance. Robotic Systems Laboratory, Mohamed Bouri. In this laboratory, chemical reactions create molecules and materials that are used to convert CO2 into chemical products with added value. Laboratory of Nanochemistry for Energy, Raffaella Buonsanti. This in vivo mouse embryo was used to gain insight into embryo-development mechanisms in mammals and the reasons for certain malformations. Laboratory of Developmental Genomics, Denis Duboule. 3D imaging by X-ray micro-tomography of a concrete sample that fractured during a compression test. The voids detected within this sample (in blue) represent either the initial bubble-shaped porosity of the concrete or the plane-shaped open fractures caused by the test. PIXE Platform, Gary Perrenoud and Pascal Turberg. Tensegrity structures are mobile structures capable of changing shape and size. They can be optimized and controlled through simulations that are fed into a random search algorithm and combined with various measurements. Applied Computing and Mechanics Laboratory, Ian Smith. These sinograms combine several X-ray images from different angles to reconstruct a 3D image of an ex vivo rat brain. This is done using X-ray computed tomography. Biomedical Imaging Group, Michaël Unser. Artificial electronic skin connected to the nervous system. Stéphanie Lacour’s research focus is on designing and producing electronic devices with mechanical properties similar to those of their host tissues. Bertarelli Foundation Chair in Neuroprosthetic Technology, Stéphanie Lacour. This robotic hand, named Allegro, includes Tekscan tactile sensors that can make a grasping gesture without visual cues. Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory, Aude Billard. These 18 light sources can mimic the equivalent of several thousand times the sun’s radiation received on earth, with unparalleled power and precision. Laboratory of Renewable Energy Science and Engineering, Sophia Haussener. This ultra-high vacuum chamber, photographed open, is used to grow and characterize magnetic nanostructures. The sample is placed in the center of the line of sight, and the four conic poles of a quadrupole magnet create a magnetic field at that location. The system was custom designed by PhD students and built with help from the IPHYS mechanical workshop. Laboratory of Nanostructures at Surfaces, Harald Brune. These ultrashort and intense green optical pulses generated by laser sources are used to sense tiny changes in transparent materials down to the picosecond. The aim of this research project is to develop novel material processing methods, paving the way for new types of devices with applications in optics, biotechnology and micromechanics. Galatea Laboratory, Yves Bellouard. A winding machine for scintillating fiber. The fiber is wound around a one-meter-diameter wheel in six consecutive layers. In total, some 10,000 km of fiber were used to build the new tracking system in the LHCb detector, which will begin working when CERN's Large Hadron Collider restarts in 2021. Laboratory for High Energy Physics, Olivier Schneider. In the Cellulo project, robots replace pencils. Swarm robots, each very simple and affordable, are used on large paper sheets containing learning activities. Computer-Human Interaction in Learning and Instruction Laboratory, Pierre Dillenbourg. The red blood cells of EPFL President Martin Vetterli captured by a scanning electron microscope. Each cell has a diameter of 7–8 microns. BioEM Facility, Graham Knott. A Drosophila larva secretes a fluorescent green protein into its blood cells, making it possible to track the movements of blood cells in vivo using a binocular magnifier. Lemaitre Lab, Bruno Lemaitre. Carbon plate covering the interior surface of the Variable Configuration Tokamak. It protects the surface from plasma, which can reach temperatures higher than at the center of the sun. Swiss Plasma Center, Ambrogio Fasoli. CROCUS is an experimental nuclear reactor used to teach and conduct research in radiation and reactor physics. Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour, Andreas Pautz. Quaternion fractal visualization produced by Paul Bourke in an interactive full dome. Laboratory for Experimental Museology, Sarah Kenderdine. The acoustics in this reverberation chamber are similar to those of a cathedral. The chamber is used to study acoustic phenomena and increase understanding of how sound is created and spreads so that it can be manipulated. Signal Processing Laboratory 2, Hervé Lissek, head of the Acoustic Group. The Venice Time Machine is a multidimensional model of the city spanning the past millennium, made from millions of historical documents. The Garzoni Project studies apprenticeship, work and society in early modern Venice by exploiting a specific archival source, the Accordi dei Garzoni. Digital Humanities Laboratory, Frédéric Kaplan. Mechanical clock with an oscillator containing an isotropic spring called “IsoSpring” that turns continuously and could replace conventional pendulums and balance wheels. Instant-Lab, Simon Henein. Scanning electron micrography of cerium- and cobalt-coated steel, which is used to make fuel cells, after eight hours of oxidation at 1,100°C. Enlarged 8,000 times. Interdisciplinary Center for Electron Microscopy and the Electron Spectrometry and Microscopy Laboratory, Cécile Hébert. A true color image of chemical vapor transport crystals of Cu3(SeO3)2Cl2 produced in the Crystal Growth Facility in the Institute of Physics.
