Research on Covid-19
PSI is in limited operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But right now, in this extraordinary time, the researchers want to make their contribution to society – at PSI and in cooperation with other research institutions and companies. Here we provide information on activities and projects that are starting up or being planned, for example, to examine lung tissue or to produce proteins and antibodies, or on ideas for new research on Covid-19.
Nanometres in 3D
Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute and ETH Zurich have created 3D images of tiny objects showing details down to 25 nanometres. In addition to the shape, the scientists determined how particular chemical elements were distributed in their sample and whether these elements were in a chemical compound or in their pure state.
