Matériaux super Géniaux, un camp réservé aux 20 jeunes filles curieuses et appliquées : découvrir différentes propriétés des matériaux, faire des visites de labo, un rallye sur le campus, et bien d’autres activités pour s’initier aux sciences. Merci NCCR-MARVEL pour son soutien

Check out this highlight about the LC3 Low Carbon Cement developed by the Laboratory of Construction Materials. For the first time, this low-carbon cement is being used for the construction of a large-scale building in Switzerland (Tilia tower near Lausanne). actu.epfl.ch/news/engineeri…

Researchers in EPFL's Microsystems Lab have published a new paper in Nature Communications that describes a technique for using grayscale #nanolithography to improve the performance of next-generation #transistors made from 2D semiconducting materials. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Last week, 20 girls from 11 to 13 years old took part in the "Matériaux super géniaux" camp organized by the EPFL Promotion des sciences with the support of NCCR-MARVEL. Thanks to the LMM members who organized the “chocolate and hazelnuts” activity that was a fun way to discover materials science

Starting with the 2024–2025 school year, first-year students at EPFL will be required to take a class on sustainability in the spring semester. We’ve also introduced a master’s class on teaching sustainability that will begin this fall. actu.epfl.ch/news/starting-…

One of my favorite moments in the academic year: the Welcome Day for new students. It’s been a great privilege to participate in the official welcome ceremony for the past four years. Very best wishes to the more than 3000 students for an excellent first semester at EPFL!!

Today was Welcome Day for all new EPFL students. Welcome to all new students in the Materials Science and Engineering section (SMX)! The day began with a word of welcome from the section director, Fabien Sorin. #WelcometoEPFL

🍁 A new semester begins! This fall, we’re rolling out initiatives to support students in their academic success. Learn more: go.epfl.ch/ddf2b2

Today, we had the chance to attend an IMX seminar by Prof. Manos Kioupakis from University of Michigan. Many thanks for his insightful presentation entitled "Computational Discovery and Experimental Validation of Rutile GeO2 and GeSnO2 Alloys" #IMXseminar

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Chiara Cignarella from the Laboratory of theory and simulation of materials (THEOS) of Materials Science & Engineering @EPFL for successfully defending her PhD thesis under Prof. Nicola Marzari supervision.
