Tension in lepton universality builds up

23.03.21Research

The LHCb collaboration, which includes EPFL scientists, has just released an update of a measurement which is one of the very few at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) consistently hinting at a deviation from the theoretical expectations. This result was presented on Tuesday March 23th, simultaneously at the 55th Rencontres de Moriond conference and at a dedicated LHC seminar at CERN, followed by a CERN press release.

New high-performance computing hub aims to harness the sun's energy

23.03.21EPFL

EPFL will soon be home to a European hub for high-performance computing focused on fusion power – a potential source of clean, risk-free energy. As part of this effort, EPFL’s Swiss Plasma Center will lead a campus-wide, cross-disciplinary research team.

Nano-mapping phase transitions in electronic materials

18.03.21Research

Scientists at EPFL and the University of Geneva have combined two powerful, cutting-edge techniques to uncover the physics behind an exotic phase transition that turns a metal into an insulator. The materials they looked at are rare-earth nickelates, which are of great interest for innovating new approaches in electronics.
