Lippmann Photography: Past, Present, and Future
Paolo Prandoni, Arnaud Latty, Adrien Guillaume Olivier Hoffet, Nicoletta Isaac
The purpose of this project was to bring to a wider public an almost forgotten technique for color photography, invented by Gabriel Lippmann in 1892 and rewarded with a Nobel prize in 1908. The project was born out of a longstanding cooperation between EPF ...
2023ERS International Congress 2022: highlights from the Respiratory Clinical Care and Physiology Assembly
Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka
It is a challenge to keep abreast of all the clinical and scientific advances in the field of respiratory medicine. This article contains an overview of the laboratory-based science, clinical trials and qualitative research that were presented during the 2 ...
EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOC JOURNALS LTD2023Dissecting the photoacidity of spiropyran/merocyanine molecular switches in water.
Photochemistry is a discipline that studies the interaction between light and matter with the scope to induce chemical transformations. The first conjugation between light and chemistry can be dated back to the lifespan of Giacomo Luigi Ciamician, who is c ...
EPFL2023Breathing control, brain, and bodily self-consciousness: Toward immersive digiceuticals to alleviate respiratory suffering
Olaf Blanke, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka
Breathing is peculiar among autonomic functions through several characteristics. It generates a very rich afferent traffic from an array of structures belonging to the respiratory system to various areas of the brain. It is intimately associated with bodil ...

Silver nanoparticles have numerous potential applications in engineering, industry, biology and medicine. Because of their unique chemical properties, they have become the focus of many research teams all over the world. Silver nanoparticles may exhibit si ...
BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD2020Modeling metabolic and signaling pathways in cancer cells
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. As cancer develops and progresses, cells undergo a diversity of mutations that sustain their rapid proliferation and the eva ...
EPFL2020Ultrafast carrier dynamics in III-nitride nanostructures and LED quantum efficiency
Since the seminal report about the first Candela-class-brightness InGaN blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by Shuji Nakamura et al. in 1994, III-nitride semiconductors have been one of the most important platforms for optoelectronic devices. The achieve ...
EPFL2019Compact lensless digital holography
Microscopy is of high interest for biology since it allows imaging features that are too small to
be seen with naked eyes. However, cells are mostly transparent to visible and infrared light
which makes it difficult to see with a traditional microscope. To ...
EPFL2018Small-Molecule Patterning via Prefunctionalized Alkanethiols
Interactions between small molecules and biomolecules are important physiologically and for biosensing, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. To investigate these interactions, small molecules can be tethered to substrates through standard coupling che ...
2018Signal Processing Approaches for Cardio-Respiratory Biosignals with an Emphasis on Mobile Health Applications
We humans are constantly preoccupied with our health and physiological status. From precise measurements such as the 12-lead electrocardiograms recorded in hospitals, we have moved on to mobile acquisition devices, now as versatile as smart-watches and sma ...
