Their findings refute existing theories on the displacement of the material’s atoms. Barium titanate is a ferroelectric material used in nearly all electronic devices – computers, smartphones and even electric cars. It’s used to make the sensors and capacitors they run on, for example. “A single smartphone generally has around 700 capacitors containing barium titanate, and trillions of these capacitors are made every year,” says Dragan Damjanovic, an EPFL professor and head of the Group for Ferroelectrics and Functional Oxides at EPFL’s School of Engineering. Despite barium titanate’s widespread use, however, researchers still don’t fully understand how it works. “There are of course theoretical models out there, but some of their key predictions have neve

Festivities kick off for Rolex Learning Center s 10th anniversary

Date Time Festivities kick off for Rolex Learning Center’s 10th anniversary The Rolex Learning Center (RLC), EPFL’s iconic and multipurpose building, has turned ten. To mark the occasion, the School is holding a series of special events that will kick off today and run through next spring. The RLC opened its doors to students, researchers and the broader community in February 2010 and was officially inaugurated on May 27th of the same year. Designed by architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of Japanese firm Sanaa, the RLC is intended to be both a forum for learning and knowledge sharing and a comfortable place to meet up and work. It now stands as the iconic campus building and has become a reference in the field of modern architecture.
