PSI Stories
Two projects launched to connect error-corrected qubits
Researchers at ETH Zurich and PSI are participating in two quantum computing projects that are being financed by the US research funding agency IARPA.
Better batteries for electric cars
PSI researchers make physical and chemical changes in batteries visible.
Using quantum computers already today
Analogue quantum computers make ultrafast chemical reactions observable.
More than just a support structure
Each cell in the human body contains a cytoskeleton. Contrary to what the name suggests, the cytoskeleton is far more than just a support structure.
Immerse yourself in the cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton is a little marvel. Probing it promises to reveal, among other things, new possibilities for cancer therapy.
How can cobalt be reduced in EV batteries?
The electrification of transport is increasing. This means, more batteries are needed. However, some of these batteries contain an extremely problematic raw material: cobalt. PSI is researching alternatives.
Partnership to enhance both research and practice
The research institutes of the ETH Domain are strengthening their cooperation in strategic areas.
“Molecular chains could be useful for the electronics of the future”
Christian Wäckerlin talks about fundamental research into novel nanowires and their potential applications.
Bronze Age arrowhead is made of meteoritic iron
With the help of muons, PSI researchers were able to determine the origin of the material used for an arrowhead.
A metal alloy like a sponge
Once the vacuum chambers for the SLS 2.0 upgrade are the right shape, they still need a special surface coating.
