SINQ
40 years of LNS
On 1st October 2024, the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering & Imaging turned 40 years old, which was celebrated during the traditional end-of-year party on 17th December.
Together for Science with Neutrons, Muons and X-rays
Strategic partnership between research facilities in UK and Switzerland will create new capabilities to address global challenges using neutrons, muons and X-rays.
Towards first experiments on SANS-LLB

Book on neutron imaging
A new book on neutron imaging was recently published, written by editors and contributors from LNS. The book has a focus on applications and covers hard and soft matter.
Making powerful lithium-air batteries suitable for everyday use
Chemical processes in lithium-air batteries revealed using neutron beams and synchrotron light.
Cause of clogged hypodermic needles discovered
Researchers at PSI and the ANAXAM technology transfer center have found the cause of clogging in prefilled syringes.
Dichotomous Electrons: Travelling without Moving
Neutron scattering experiments give new understanding of how localized and free-flowing electrons collaborate to create material functionality.
Better batteries for electric cars
PSI researchers make physical and chemical changes in batteries visible.
Mystery of microgels solved
Researchers at PSI and the University of Barcelona can explain the strange shrinking of microgels experimentally.
Further optimising car brakes
Research scientists at PSI and ANAXAM use neutrons to look inside brake callipers and identify potential ways of reducing CO2 emissions.
