A look into the magnetic future
PSI researchers are the first to observe a specific behaviour of magnetic ice.
Antiprotons in superfluid helium: a new way for sensitive measurements of antimatter
Scientists, publishing in Nature, have found that a hybrid antimatter-matter atom behaves in an unexpected way when submerged in superfluid helium.
Two million Swiss francs granted to search for new physics
Philipp Schmidt-Wellenburg will set up a novel experiment at a muon beamline at PSI.
New insight into unconventional superconductivity
Signatures for a novel electronic phase that enables charge to flow spontaneously in loops have been observed in a kagome superconductor. The findings are published today in Nature.
Celebrating 25 years of SINQ
On January 17th, 2022, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the inauguration of the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source SINQ. Today, SINQ is firmly embedded in the European research landscape and has established itself as an important center for neutron research.
The world’s most powerful neutron microscope
PSI scientists help construct the new European Spallation Source ESS
What you see is what you get: Automated particle detection without the false positives
A new algorithm by PSI researchers enables fast and reliable detection of spherical objects in images with a complex background.
The link between theory and experiment
Without fundamental constants there is no physics.
Magnetic nanoworld
At PSI, researchers come across exotic phenomena such as frustrated magnets and nano-vortices, which may one day enable better data storage.
