👾 For decades, scientists have searched the skies for signs of extraterrestrial technology. A study from EPFL asks a sharp question: if alien signals have already reached Earth without us noticing, what should we realistically expect to detect today? go.epfl.ch/8b497f

Scientists from the Institute of Physics have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the material. go.epfl.ch/8aa938

For Jeremy Luterbacher, winner of the 2025 best teacher award for the chemistry and chemical engineering section, we should "encourage our student's willingness to take risks." go.epfl.ch/35e316
