Neutrons don’t disappear into the mirror world
Do mirror particles exist for all elementary particles? PSI researchers have succeeded in largely ruling out this hypothesis in particle physics – with unprecedented experimental precision.
Combination of searches for heavy vector boson resonances in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
Demand for denser, lower-power data storage keeps rising, yet the metallic magnets behind most memory technologies dissipate energy through electrical currents. Magneto-electric insulators on the other hand offer an alternative...

One thousand modules for CERN
At CERN near Geneva, tiny particles with extremely high energies are blasted at each other to answer big questions about the universe. The detectors that observe the collisions of these particles require regular upgrades. Lea Caminada and her High Energy Particle Physics research group at PSI play an important role in this quest.
