The Science Foresight Project
The Science Foresight Project is the first completely Internet-based international science foresight activity. The goal of the project was to identify emerging research developments in the physical and engineering sciences using experts selected by purely objective methods. The Science Foresight... view more (2002-08-26)

Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell.   view more (2007-05-04)

A Computer That Can 'Read' Your Mind
For centuries, the concept of mind readers was strictly the domain of folklore and science fiction. But according to new research published today in the journal Science, scientists are closer to knowing how specific thoughts activate our brains. The findings demonstrate the power of computational... view more (2008-06-03)

Computation to unravel how genes are regulated and shed light on how cells become different
A closer alliance between computational and experimental researchers is needed to make progress towards one of biology's most challenging goals, understanding how epigenetic marks contribute to regulation of gene expression.   view more (2008-04-11)

New cost-effective means to reconstruct virus populations
Researchers from the United States and Switzerland have developed mathematical and statistical tools for reconstructing viral populations using pyrosequencing, a novel and effective technique for sequencing DNA. They describe their findings in an article published May 9th in the open-access journal... view more (2008-05-09)

When 2 plus 2 doesn't equal 4: How consumers miscalculate sale prices
Quick: You're walking by a store window and you see a sign that says, "20% off the original price plus an additional 25% off the already reduced sale price." So, how much is the discount" Consumers often mistakenly think the total discount is 45% off the original price when, in fact,... view more (2007-09-13)

EPFL Scientist wins Dirac medal of the World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists
EPFL Chemistry Professor Ursula Roethlisberger has won this year's Dirac medal, a prestigious award given annually to the "most outstanding theoretically oriented chemist in the world under the age of 40", by the World Association for Theoretically Oriented Chemists (WATOC). Dr. Roethlisberger will... view more (2005-01-13)
