News & Stories aus dem PSI
Erste Positronen für den Future Circular Collider
Am PSI wurden an einer Testquelle für den am CERN geplanten neuen Kollisionsbeschleuniger erstmals Positronen erzeugt.
Demonstrationsanlage für nachhaltigen Flugtreibstoff eingeweiht
Am 20. August fand die Einweihungsfeier der neuen Anlage auf dem PSI-Areal satt. Hier wird die Herstellung von nachhaltigem Flugtreibstoff erprobt: besonders effizient hergestelltes synthetisches Kerosin.
Wie das «Einhorn der Meere» zu seiner Helix kam
Synchrotronlicht zeigt erstmals, wie die Spiralform des Narwal-Stosszahns in der Anordnung nanometergrosser Bausteine angelegt ist.
