Sûre et propre: de nouveaux concepts pour l’énergie nucléaire
Des réacteurs qui restent sûrs sans pompes ni électricité. Des sels fondus qui remplacent le liquide de refroidissement. Et des percées technologiques en matière de fusion. Les installations du PSI, qui sont uniques au monde, permettent de faire émerger les matériaux et les modèles nécessaires à de tels réacteurs.
Du rhume des foins aux nuages
Projet de science participative, Pollen Watch rassemble des personnes de toute la Suisse qui partent à la découverte du pollen et du climat.
Nouvelles technologies nucléaires: un état des lieux
Les scientifiques du PSI ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans une nouvelle étude de la Fondation pour l'évaluation des choix technologiques TA-SWISS.
Détecter la radioactivité depuis les airs avec une plus grande précision
En cas d’urgence, chaque minute compte. Des scientifiques du PSI ont développé une méthode qui, en cas d’accident nucléaire, permet d’identifier du matériel radioactif en quelques secondes, et ce beaucoup plus précisément qu’aujourd’hui.
