However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFrom <strong>October 8 to December 17, 2026</strong>, the <strong>Sustainable Labs: Get Involved</strong> sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>. This tool enables laboratories, platforms, centers, and central units to estimate their carbon footprint, identify major emission hotspots, and support informed decision-making to reduce their environmental impact through targeted actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHere are the planned sessions : \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 8th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 13th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday October 22th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday October 27th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 5th 12:15-13:00(online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 10th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday November 19th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday November 24th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 3rd 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n\t<li>Tuesday December 8th 12:15-13:00 (MA A0 364)</li>\r\n\t<li>Thursday December 17th 12:15-13:00 (online) </li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSessions can be held in English and/ or French depending on the participants. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n→ Please register <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7Cp6LevgtBLtsWIsKr2Ec_HPGjJgimmwEaGAN5U4M4-2rrg/viewform\">here</a>.

The collections thus assembled become true research infrastructures: they provide a unique resource for education and research, accessible to students as well as to innovation communities at EPFL and around the world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIt was with this goal in mind that EPFL and the <a href=\"http://verbierfestival.com/\">Verbier Festival</a> launched the Verbier Festival Collection project in 2021. The project aims to preserve and promote the festival’s heritage, with the goal of rekindling younger generations’ interest in classical music.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA pioneer since 1994, the Verbier Festival is the first festival in the world to have recorded all of its concerts. This exceptional collection now includes 3,000 hours of audio recordings, more than 1,000 hours of video, 12,000 historical photographs, archival documents, and a collection of annotated sheet music. It serves as a unique resource for research, innovation, and cultural transmission.

They have largely involved equilibrium or kinetically trapped properties. By contrast, biological systems allowing multifunctional properties are characteristically dissipatively and dynamically adaptive and incorporate homeostatic feedback mechanisms to regulate the dynamic states. They also typically use signal transduction to mediate the signal from the sensory elements to the responsive sites, unlike the classic man-made stimuli responsive materials. These concept suggest avenues towards more complex life-like functions in soft matter. Herein, optically driven hydrogel systems are presented to drive homeostatically controlled thermal oscillations and to mediate signal transduction via thermal intermediate signalling (1). On the other hand, biological magnetoreception in elasmobranch organisms involves electromagnetic induction (EMI) and suggests avenues for bioinspired electrical signal transductions. We show magnetic profile recognition of translocated magnetically encoded soft matter objects using electrical intermediate signaling by EMI and decoding the magnetic information with machine learning (2). Combination of high stiffness and promoted dynamics for self-healing has turned challenging to combine. Self-healing hydrogels, still combining high tensile stiffness close to that of skin were shown by using polymers upon nanoconfinement in 2D-nanosheet layered confinements (3). Finally, we show trainable actuations in bilayer gel actuators (4). Ever more complex responses can be created, such as mimicking the Pavlovian classical conditioning (5), all paving ways for growingly life-like functions for soft robotics and interfacing with biology.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n1.

Traditional live-cell fluorescent probes face two critical technical challenges:\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>How to make fluorescent probes brighter and more photostable.</li>\r\n\t<li>How to make fluorescent probes gentler to minimize the photodamage of organelles.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nBased on the fundamental principles of photochemistry and biochemistry, we have developed a new generation of live-cell imaging probes that far surpass traditional probes in brightness, photostability, and biocompatibility. These probes enable long-term super-resolution imaging of mitochondria, insulin vesicle secretion, plasma membrane dynamics, lysosomes, and more. Our representative achievements include: The PK Mito and PK Zinc dye series, widely used in mitochondrial and insulin secretion imaging.
