Looking back at 2013 (3/3): The World's First Solar Window
During the last quarter of the year, construction began on an impressive glass façade composed of 300 square meters of dye solar cells for EPFL’s Swiss Tech Convention Center. This is a world first. Breton lighthouses have been reinforced by a combination of materials developed in an EPFL laboratory, and life has become difficult for perfume counterfeiters due to a new detection process. A new work and meeting space for emerging start-ups was established on campus in mid-November. And just before 2013 ended, EPFL obtained control of a new national research center dedicated to the development of innovative materials through the use of computer simulations.
