PSI-Impuls-Preis 2025
Der PSI-Impuls-Preis 2025 für anwendungsorientierte Forschung geht an Dr. Mikalai Artsiusheuski für seine herausragenden Arbeiten zur Entwicklung eines innovativen Chemical-Looping-Verfahrens zur nachhaltigen Herstellung von Ethylen und Propylen – zwei zentralen Bausteinen der modernen Chemie.
L’aluminium devient visible
Des scientifiques du PSI ont réussi une première: déterminer précisément la position des atomes d’aluminium dans des zéolithes, qui font de ces matériaux des catalyseurs si performants.
