Catalysts used in industry change their material structure over the years. Using a new method, PSI researchers have now studied this on the nanoscale.

Using a combination of computer simulations and laboratory experiments, PSI researchers have identified new binding sites for active agents on the vital protein tubulin.

The SURE research project is up and running.

A new PSI method allows quantum-physical research on materials with the aid of X-ray lasers.

How chemical reactions in clouds can influence the global climate.

A precise look into the finest particles in the air shows how compounds harmful to human health are formed.

Can Switzerland, as planned, reduce its CO₂ emissions to zero by 2050? What is needed to achieve this? What could it cost?

In a new initiative, PSI and Empa want to jointly develop a process for producing kerosene from renewable resources.

In experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, an international research collaboration has measured the radius of the atomic nucleus of helium five times more precisely than ever before. The new value can be used to test fundamental physical theories.
