The AugCog Era is now
> Henry Markram on a TED talk video
Our young brain, that of the homo-sapiens (“wise man” in Latin) is just about 100,000 years old. This newly evolved organ endows us with unique creative capabilities that no other living creature has. We invented spoken language and later writing (5000 years ago), art (30,000 years ago) and [...]

Information security stakes in a competitive world
> Interview of Igli Tashi
The technological explosion is nowadays forcing organizations to change their structures and ways of operating. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), their role and importance are increasing daily. Technology is becoming the main factor for productivity growth and the competitiveness of organizations, and it often also allows effective cost [...]
An EPFL spin-off raises 10 million Swiss francs
One of the biggest financing rounds for furthering the work of a doctoral student has just been completed at EPFL. The microscopic electrodes developed by André Mercanzini – which are currently in clinical trials – could revolutionize Deep Brain Stimulation.
The microelectrodes developed by André Mercanzini should generate a lot of interest from investors: they have [...]

Dye-sensitized solar cells
>> Online video
The market for photovoltaic solar cells can be divided broadly into two categories with the largest share for large-area installations intended for power generation. Electric power can also be generated and used locally (off-grid sources to supply houses or run irrigation pumps in remote areas), or it can be used to feed to [...]
Performance evaluation of computer and communication systems
>> Video online
Performance evaluation is often the critical part of evaluating the results of a research project. Many of us are familiar with simulations, but it is frequently difficult to address questions like: Should I eliminate the beginning of the simulation in order for the system to become stabilized? I simulate a random way-point model [...]
Thin-film silicon solar cells
>> Video online
Thin-film solar cell technologies based on large areas are particularly well-suited to applications in the building industry. These applications of BIPV consist mainly of photovoltaic roofs and facades, and generally are grid-connected.
Compared to other thin-film modules (such as those based on CdTe and CIGS), silicon-based thin-film modules presently are most widely spread in [...]
