When Two Metals Become One
Using synchrotron X-rays and advanced simulations, we reveal how metals mix—and why defects form.
Nano-aperçus de la stabilité des os
Des scientifiques du PSI ont appliqué une nouvelle technique d’imagerie pour évaluer plus précisément la nanostructure d’un col du fémur. Leurs travaux pourraient contribuer à mieux comprendre pourquoi cet os se fracture relativement souvent.
Preserving film sound in the cold at the British Film Institute: new evidence for archives
Can magnetic film sound be stored in the cold? A collaboration between the British Film Institute and PSI found no detectable damage in the studied samples and points to a broader future for archives, in which laboratory methods and synchrotron techniques at the Swiss Light Source SLS help guide the preservation of complex audiovisual media.
