Answers in this week's EPFL science news 🧪
🔥🧬 Fighting wildfires with synthetic biology
With Pyronix, the @igem_epfl team re-imagined the next generation of firefighting: a hydrogel-based fire retardant assembled from components produced by microorganisms which could be deployed by an AI-equipped drone to slow down fires.
The project won 2nd place (Undergraduate 1st Runner-Up) at the iGEM Competition 2025. 🏅
🔥🧬 La biologie synthétique pour lutter contre les incendies de forêt
Avec Pyronix, l'équipe @igem_epfl réinvente la manière de lutter contre les incendies: un hydrogel assemblé à partir de composants produits par des micro-organismes, qui pourrait être déployé par un drone équipé d'une intelligence artificielle afin de ralentir les incendies.
Le projet a remporté la seconde place (dans la catégorie undergraduate) lors du concours iGEM 2025. 🏅

A robotic hand crawling on its own? Thing better watch out. 🧟♂️
Developed by EPFL’s Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory and the Computational Robot Design and Fabrication Lab,, this hand surpasses the limits of human dexterity. Its dual-thumb, reversible palm can even detach from its robotic arm to reach and grasp multiple objects.
