Inaugurato il PIC svizzero
Fondato da partner scientifici e industriali insieme ai ricercatori del PSI: Il centro di trasferimento tecnologico "Swiss Photonics Integration Center" è stato inaugurato il 24 novembre 2025.
Come il principio delle tagliatelle al formaggio aiuta a contrastare l'Alzheimer
I ricercatori del PSI hanno scoperto meccanismi cellulari che potrebbero contribuire a frenare malattie come l'Alzheimer o il Parkinson.
Atomi sotto pressione
Zurab Guguchia aggiunge materia - e crea fenomeni quantistici entusiasmanti, tra cui la superconduttività a temperature più facili da raggiungere.

Progetti di aggiornamento e iniziative di ricerca in corso
Insieme all'industria verso l'innovazione
Il progresso della tecnologia nucleare
Il NUKEM e l'Istituto Paul Scherrer firmano un memorandum d'intesa per promuovere la ricerca nucleare e la cooperazione.
Zinco rilevato nelle siringhe intasate
Con l'aiuto dei ricercatori del PSI, ANAXAM ha studiato per l'azienda farmaceutica MSD se lo zinco può contribuire all'intasamento delle siringhe pre-riempite.
Inaugurato in Svizzera il Centro di eccellenza dell'ESA
L'inaugurazione del "Centro Europeo di Innovazione Deep-Tech" ESDI ha riunito ospiti di alto livello.
Le persone del PSI
L'uomo che sussurra al cemento
John Provis ha dedicato la sua vita di ricercatore a un materiale da costruzione che è più eccitante di quanto si possa pensare.
Creare schemi dei circuiti cerebrali
Adrian Wanner vuole decodificare l'architettura del cervello. Ciò dovrebbe consentire di comprendere meglio le malattie neurodegenerative come il morbo di Alzheimer.
Con blocco, matita e algoritmi
Il fisico del PSI Dominik Sidler sviluppa teorie fondamentali per fenomeni precedentemente inspiegabili.
