The PSI Laboratory for Condensed Matter uses synchrotron radiation for spectroscopy, imaging and diffraction techniques.
Lab News & Scientific Highlights
Supersampled Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy
Researchers from a Swiss-German collaboration have developed a new method for scanning transmission X-ray microscopy substantially reducing the impact of mechanical vibrations and imaging overheads, allowing for routine high-resolution imaging experiments
When Two Metals Become One
Using synchrotron X-rays and advanced simulations, we reveal how metals mix—and why defects form.
Nano-insights into bone stability
PSI researchers have used a new imaging technique to more precisely assess the nanostructure of bone in the neck of the femur. This could help understand why they fracture relatively often.
