The PSI Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry studies gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, affected by energy systems and impacting air quality, weather, climate change and human health.
Lab News & Scientific Highlights
Schadstoffe entstehen oft erst in der Luft
Forschende des PSI haben im CLOUD-Experiment am CERN mit nie da gewesener Präzision gemessen, wie sich organische Luftschadstoffe bilden und verteilen.
Preparing the Future of PSI Large Facilities in Atmospheric Research
The Multiphase Chemistry Group in the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (LAC) looks back to a nearly 20 years record of activities with in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ scanning transmission X-ray spectromicroscopy (STXM) to address key fundamental questions in atmospheric chemistry. This is the time to consider new horizons, align with current and future needs in atmospheric sciences, and to identify novel opportunities driven by upcoming trends in methods, technologies and facilities. This has been the topic of the Workshop ‘X-ray and Neutron Spectroscopy, Scattering and Imaging in Atmospheric Chemistry’, held at PSI 13 – 15 November 2024.
