- After 20 years, scientists finally shrink a powerful laser onto a chip
Researchers at EPFL have developed a chip-scale ultrafast laser that matches the performance of traditional tabletop femtosecond lasers. The innovation could enable smaller, cheaper, and more accessible laser technologies for applications like medical diagnostics and atomic clocks.
- This AI Reads Your Chemistry Instructions and Finds the Best Way to Build You a Molecule
Researchers at EPFL have developed a framework that allows chemists to describe molecules in plain language, and then uses AI to find the best synthesis route. The AI sifts through thousands of possible routes to find the optimal one. This innovation has the potential to greatly simplify the process of building complex molecules.
