“La collaborazione è particolarmente importante nella ricerca quantistica”
La ricercatrice del PSI Kirsten Moselund parla delle tecnologie quantistiche, della loro importanza e della situazione attuale in Svizzera. E della sua ricerca nel campo della nanofotonica.
Il laser disegna paesaggi magnetici personalizzati
I ricercatori del PSI hanno trovato un metodo sorprendentemente favorevole e veloce per modificare localmente i materiali magnetici.
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.

Capacità ingegneristiche e resistenza
Il fatto che l'importante progetto di aggiornamento di SLS 2.0 sia stato completato nei tempi previsti è stato anche merito di un team di ingegneri elettrici dedicati.
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.
