Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Micro/nano robots have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of medicine. These untethered, wirelessly controlled and powered devices will make existing therapeutic and diagnostic procedures less invasive and will enable new procedures never before p ...
Mechanical properties of nanostructures could be remarkably different from their bulk counterparts owing to scale effects, which have attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, nanomechanics studies are hindered by the difficulties ...
Diamond reinforced metals with a diamond content of 55-60 vol.% were made by gas driven liquid metal infiltration. They were characterized with regard to their stiffness, strength and fracture toughness as a function of diamond particle size and matrix all ...
Critical infrastructures are receiving a great deal of attention, due, on the one hand, to the major malfunctions to which they are subject and their potential as targets of malicious intent on the other. Economic and political impacts are studied; increas ...
This paper reports the results of the first dynamic labeling experiment with regenerating spines of sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus using the stable isotope Mg-26 and NanoSIMS high-resolution isotopic imaging, which provide a direct information about the ...
Ternary Au-Cu-Pt alloys, of unequal gold and copper atomic contents and containing 2.5 wt.% Pt, are ordered isothermally at 250 or 400 degrees C after annealing at 650 degrees C and quenching in water. The alloys are characterized by transmission electron ...
During natural locomotion, the stiffness of the human knee is modulated continuously and subconsciously according to the demands of activity and terrain. Given modern actuator technology, powered transfemoral prostheses could theoretically provide a simila ...
An argon gas atomized, pre-alloyed Fe-14Cr-2W-0.3Ti (wt.%) reduced activation ferritic (RAF) steel powder was mechanically alloyed with 0.3wt.% Y2O3 nano-particles in an attritor ball mill and consolidated by hot isostatic pressing at 1150 °C under a press ...
A large-scale field experiment on the drying behavior of Norway Spruce (Picea abies Karst.) and Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) in relation to the felling date was conducted over a period of 24 weeks in order to investigate the existence of variatio ...
The temperature is known to influence the strength and durability of concrete. Temperature has also a great influence on the creep of cementitious materials. Previous investigations have not provided a complete understanding of these effects; in particular ...
