Recent highlights from our research
Fertiliser from the neighbourhood
A PSI study shows where small plants could produce ammonia for fertiliser in a low-carbon way in the future.
Desert dust in Europe is increasing
Researchers at PSI have determined how much dust from the desert makes its way to different regions of Europe. They have found that it is increasing.
A world-first lens brings neutrons into sharper focus
From thick samples to processes inside bulky equipment, a new type of lens opens the door to high-resolution neutron imaging of working systems.

34th international workshop on VERTEX detectors in Switzerland
The 34th International Workshop on Vertex Detectors is organised jointly by PSI, UZH and ETHZ in Stoos, Switzerland.
Thermodynamic Evidence for Pressure-Driven Evolution towards Weak-Coupling Superconductivity in Pb
The thermodynamic critical field Bc provides direct access to the superconducting condensation energy, yet its pressure dependence has been studied much less extensively than that of the transition temperature. Here, muon-spin-rotation relaxation measurements ...
Good things come in threes - Nitrous oxide decomposition on Rh-Ce-Co oxide
ME-XAS reveals a synergic function between Rh oxide species and Co3O4 mediated by Ce that catalyses low temperature N2O decomposition.
