ELE Times Carbon Capture More Efficient and Cheaper with Graphene Filter February 26, 2021 Chemical engineers at EPFL have developed a graphene filter for Carbon Capture that surpasses the efficiency of commercial capture technologies and can reduce the cost of carbon capture down to $30 per ton of carbon dioxide. The problem is that capturing carbon from power plants and industrial emissions isn’t very cost-effective. The main reason is that waste carbon dioxide isn’t emitted pure but is mixed with nitrogen and other gases, and extracting it from industrial emissions require...

February 25, 2021EPFL Using the IBM Q computer, physicists at EPFL have verified for the first time the tight relationship between quantum entanglement and wave-particle duality, showing that the former controls the latter in a quantum system. “It is possible to do experiments in fundamental physics on the remotely accessible IBM Q quantum computer,” says Marc-André Dupertuis, a physicist at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences. Working with Nicolas Schwaller, a Master student in Physics at EPFL, and Clément Javerzac-Galy, co-CEO of photonics company Miraex, the three scientists carried...
