The Large Hadron Collider
>> Sample pages
The LHC is a machine of discovery. It will take us into a new energy regime where, through the famous relationship E = mc2, new particles of greater mass, inaccessible to existing machines will be produced. It is not known what the LHC will discover, but there are a number of fundamental questions [...]
From energy to exergy
Online vidéo »
Thermodynamics is the science dealing with the study of matter, as well as that of all phenomena involving work, heat and energy in general. In particular, thermodynamics includes the study of matter taking into account the influence of temperature upon its characteristics.
It also examines the conversion of one form of energy into another [...]
Le nouveau cœur de l’EPFL
>> Voir la vidéo
Depuis quelques années, le campus de l’EPFL a connu un développement considérable. Au-delà des nouveaux espaces de laboratoires, on y trouve désormais des logements pour étudiants, un hôtel, un quartier de l’innovation destiné aux entreprises partenaires et bientôt un Centre de congrès. Soit au total près d’un demi-milliard d’investissements. Une somme [...]
Solidification: a modern approach to the field
Online vidéo »
Solidification processes are familiar to all of us, whether they concern the formation of frost on windows or ice in trays, the freezing of solders in electronic circuits, or the casting of aluminum and steel in industrial practice. Solidification has long represented a major force in human development, and some of the “Ages” [...]
Cutting-edge researches in traffic simulation
In recent years, the transport simulation of large road networks has become far more rapid and detailed, and many exciting developments in this field have emerged. Transport simulation has broadened from the simulation of automobiles to include pedestrian and rail elements. Advances in transport simulation and the evolving Intelligent Transport System (ITS) are leading to [...]
Rem Koolhaas… deconstructed
Remmert Koolhaas was born in 1944 in Rotterdam, where bombing in World War II had erased, as in Berlin, the image of the historical city. With his family he moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, in 1952 and staying until 1956, and then to Brazil, where he admired the works of Oscar Niemeyer. Back in Holland he [...]
New trends in information systems
In the recent years peer-to-peer architectures have emerged as a novel architectural paradigm for managing distributed information at a large scale.
In peer-to-peer architectures central points of coordination are avoided and replaced by self-organization principles, thus making the systems robust and scalable. This approach has been adopted by a number of highly successful applications on the [...]
