SwissFEL
The New Highlight in Switzerland's Research Infrastructures
Welcome to the Website of the SwissFEL, Switzerland's X-ray free-electron laser at the Paul Scherrer Institute.
The SwissFEL is based on a novel technology holding exceptional promises for diverse areas of scientific research. Serving our society's modern trends "smaller, faster, more complex", SwissFEL will provide unprecedented insights into structures as small as an atom and into phenomena as fast as the vibrations of molecular bonds. It will also reveal the secrets behind the inner complexity of technologically relevant materials and biochemical structure and interaction.
