Fundamentally different
Artificial intelligence is helping to evaluate an unimaginably vast amounts of data efficiently and exploit the facilities’ full potential for research.
Favourite recipes from around the world
People from 64 nations work at PSI. Of course, they all bring their own culinary preferences with them.
A potential shortcut
Today, machine learning and artificial intelligence are part of the toolkit for most researchers at PSI. In many cases these methods are fundamentally transforming the way we do science.

How clean is hydrogen for the energy transition?
Hydrogen can play a crucial role in transitioning to a net-zero energy system – but it must be produced the right way.
Is climate-neutral air travel possible?
Air transport too is to become climate-neutral – how can sustainable fuels, like those developed at PSI, contribute to this?
