I will consider how these capabilities could contribute to longer-term research goals, such as automated reaction pathway exploration. These examples illustrate how a single missing capability can interrupt an otherwise sophisticated research workflow.<br>\r\nI will also discuss the open challenge of enabling agents to learn continually from scientific literature, computational results, and failed attempts, and to acquire capabilities as new problems demand them.

Cette collection préserve des micro-organismes provenant de régions menacées telles que les Alpes et l'Arctique et compte déjà plus de 2000 spécimens.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’artiste a sélectionné des levures, bactéries et champignons souvent vieux de 12’000 ans, qu’elle a cultivés dans son propre studio et photographiés tous les deux jours. Les différents micro-organismes sont déposés sur un fond d’agar pour qu’ils puissent se développer. Leur évolution est rapide et hasardeuse. La documentation est méthodique : plus de 13'300 photographies ont été prises représentant des instantanés de matière vivante.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDeux séries de photographies ont été produites : l’une se concentre sur des monocultures, dans lesquelles une souche microbienne sélectionnée occupe une boîte de Pétri et se propage largement. En adaptant les méthodes d'inoculation et les milieux de culture, différentes impulsions sont déclenchées. La deuxième série fait cohabiter plusieurs organismes différents. La lutte pour les nutriments dans le milieu de culture ainsi que les symbioses qui peuvent se développer entre les microbes sont documentées. La pratique d’atelier se mêle à la pratique de laboratoire.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>L’exposition</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’exposition<em> Unearthed</em> présente 18 photographies de plusieurs micro-organismes différents évoluant dans les boîtes circulaires qui les abritent. Filaments, textures, entrelacs, pointillés, cercles produisent des configurations abstraites spectaculaires. Les couleurs enchantent et vivifient les formes en turbulente circulation et en constante métamorphose. Les photographies pointent le sublime de l’extraordinaire variété des cellules : la naissance du vivant.<br>\r\nLes photographies de Rahel Oberhummer révèlent deux nécessités indissociables : d’une part celle de comprendre le vivant même dans ses organismes les plus simples et d’autre part de le préserver. Parallèlement, il s’agit de créer des images qui manifestent la qualité visuelle des formes et des couleurs de ces micro-organismes. Notre rapport à la nature exige l’admiration de sa beauté. Aujourd’hui, des artistes comme Rahel Oberhummer s’engagent dans une double mission : participer activement à des processus scientifiques et créer des images sensibles tout autant que savantes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Collaborations</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSérie photographique réalisée en collaboration avec l’Institut fédéral de recherches sur la forêt, la neige et le paysage (WSL).

Elle a étudié aussi à la Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhague, à la Hochschule für Kunst und Design de Lucerne et au Billy Blue College of Design à Sydney. Au début de l’année 2026, elle a obtenu une résidence de trois mois à Hanoï, au Vietnam, dans le cadre d’un séjour de recherche soutenu par Pro Helvetia et accueilli par l’espace Exutoire. Elle vit et travaille à Vevey.<br>\r\nLa relation entre les structures sociales humaines et les formes de vie non humaines est au cœur de son approche artistique. Rahel Oberhummer se concentre sur les interactions subtiles entre les humains et l'environnement, avec une attention soutenue pour les écosystèmes dont nous dépendons et que nous mettons pourtant en danger. Des questions se posent, que l'artiste explore à travers une recherche scientifique autant qu’artistique.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\"><strong>>>> Site web de l'artiste Rahel Oberhummer</strong></a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Vernissage</strong> le jeudi 7 mai 2026 à 18 :30 <br>\r\n<strong>Exposition visible jusqu’au 11 octobre 2026<br>\r\nHall du RLC / entrée libre</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Image</u> :<em> </em>Dioszegia patagonica 001, Pochonia/Metacordyceps chlamydosporia 205, Pseudogymnoascus pannorum 511, Potato Dextrose Agar with sepia ink, 2022.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-16T17:17:43", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-26T15:56:40", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall du Rolex Learning Center", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20G1%2094.12", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\">Rahel Oberhummer, artiste</a>", "organizer": "Pôle Culture EPFL", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120096/", "category": { "id": 5, "code": "EXPO", "fr_label": "Expositions", "en_label": "Exhibitions", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72472, "title": "creapoly - EPFL staff collective expressions", "slug": "creapoly-epfl-staff-collective-expressions", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/creapoly-epfl-staff-collective-expressions", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33788/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33788/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33788/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-08", "end_date": "2026-10-12", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "17:00:00", "description": "<strong>Discover your colleagues’ creative talents! </strong>Thirty EPFL staff members, doctoral students, and postdocs are showcasing their artistic works as part of this exhibition.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>PRACTICAL INFORMATION:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Exhibition : </strong>October 9-12<strong> / </strong>10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>At the <a href=\"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20294.22\">Foyer SG</a></strong> : The SG building will be open over the weekend</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThey answered the call and will be exhibiting one or two works as part of the creapoly exhibition!

Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, including: (i) ultrahigh instantaneous electric fields at the air–water interface driving HO− à HO• + e− radicals from hydroxide ions; (ii) water’s comproportionation into H2O•+ and H2O•−; and (iii) partial dehydration of interfacial H+ and HO− followed by radical formation. In contrast, our laboratory experiments reveal that H2O2 formation is due to the reduction of dissolved O2 at water– solid interfaces, i.e., with no role for the air–water interface beyond O2 mass transport4-6. Based on these findings, I will present four diagnostic criteria against which any existing or future mechanistic proposal should be assessed. Our approach reconciles the claims of spontaneous H2O2 formation within established physical chemistry and extends naturally to other claims of anomalous microdroplet reactivity. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nReferences:<br>\r\n(1) Mehrgardi, M.

Mishra’s team has also pioneered Carbosoil™ technology to transform desert soils for sustainable greening, food production, and carbon sequestration. His start-up Terraxy is now scaling up Carbosoil™ production to advance sustainability projects in the Middle East and beyond.
