PSI-Jahresrückblick 2025
Zwölf Highlights der PSI-Forschung im Jahr 2025
Ingenieurskunst und Ausdauer
Dass das grosse Upgradeprojekt SLS 2.0 im Zeitplan gelang, lag auch an einem Team von engagierten Elektroingenieuren.
Kelvin: Die Skala der Kälte
Null Kelvin – das ist der absolute Temperatur-Nullpunkt. Denn Wärme ist Energie, Kälte bedeutet weniger Energie, doch es kann niemals negative Energie geben. In der uns geläufigen Temperaturskala ausgedrückt liegen null Kelvin bei –273,15 Grad Celsius: Nichts kann kälter werden als das. Einige Forschende am PSI führen Tieftemperatur-Experimente nahe diesem Nullpunkt durch; andere tüfteln an technischen Möglichkeiten, um die Temperatur möglichst effizient zu senken.
