Significant funding for studying proteins in action
Four researchers, including one based at PSI, have jointly been awarded an ERC Synergy Grant. Together, they aim to develop a new method at PSI’s X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL to investigate how protein dynamics are influenced by electric fields.
X-rays show how quasiparticles interact in solids
Thanks to a new experimental technique at SwissFEL, researchers uncover the interplay between electronic, magnetic, and lattice excitations in a solid.
New method for inspecting fuel rods
PSI researchers have successfully used a new method to analyse the cladding tubes of spent fuel rods from nuclear reactors at very high resolution for the first time. They found that the cladding tubes remained leak-tight.
