Atomic scale volume and grain boundary diffusion elucidated by in situ STEM
Johann Michler, Xavier Maeder, Laszlo Pethö, Amit Sharma
Diffusion is one of the most important phenomena studied in science ranging from physics to biology and, in abstract form, even in social sciences. In the field of materials science, diffusion in crystalline solids is of particular interest as it plays a p ...

EPFL Press2022On the Maximum Power Density of Implanted Antennas within Simplified Body Phantoms
Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus, Mingxiang Gao
With the application requirements of wireless technology in implantable bioelectronics, knowledge of the fundamental limits for implanted antennas becomes critical. In this work, we investigated the variation of maximum power density within simplified body ...
IEEE2022Explore, engage, empower: methodological insights into a transformative mixed methods study tackling the COVID-19 lockdown
Vincent Kaufmann, Daniel Gatica-Perez, Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani, Garance Clément, Livia Bianca Fritz, Laurie Daffe, Melissa Pang, Ulrike Vilsmaier
Action-oriented, transformative, and transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly heralded as promising tools that enable researchers not only to produce new knowledge about a situation, but also to actively engage in tackling it; however, such approaches ...
2022Introduction to Climate Action - Academic Citizens’ Assembly
As participants of the Academic Citizens’ Assembly, we aim to find solutions to rapidly decarbonize the Swiss society, improving wellbeing and making it more resilient and inclusive at the same time. This document summarizes the most important knowledge yo ...
Academic Citizens’ Assembly2022(from) the repertoire : an architectural theory of operations.Oral and embodied knowledge in architectural and spatial practices.
How can one construct spatial histories and architectural theories from gestures, words and voices, bodies and minor threads? This research delves into oral and embodied architectural and spatial knowledge as modes of producing buildings, spaces and spatia ...
EPFL2022Systematic selection of field response measurements for excavation back analysis
In a geotechnical excavation, back analyses are routinely performed using the measured field responses to derive the material parameter values for the different soil layers present at the site. For the purpose of back analyses, the engineers will usually m ...
2021Hegemony in institutional transformation. Thesis from a work in progress"
Transforming universities towards transdisciplinarity is a complex endeavour, tackling established practices, policies, legal structures as well as personal and professional values and norms. Enabling institutions often emerge from niche initiatives, such ...
2021Rules of Thumb to Assess Losses of Implanted Antennas
Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus, Denys Nikolayev, Mingxiang Gao
Fundamental limits for implanted antennas should be able to evaluate the bounds on losses with the knowledge of physical limitations from antenna and tissue parameters. In this work, rules of thumb to assess losses of deeply implanted antennas are presente ...
IEEE2021Urgency
Dieter Dietz, Julien Lafontaine Carboni, Lucia-Nieves Garcia de Jalon Oyarzun, Teresa Sze Wing Cheung
In a time when the depletion of reason seems to have become a normality—and a fundamental disruption of the ecosystem forecasts its imminence through abnormal climate events—the question that comes to mind, first and foremost, is about the foundations of s ...
