Notizie e storie dal PSI
Il Fondo nazionale svizzero sostiene la ricerca sui muoni
Un nuovo polo di ricerca nazionale al PSI. Il progetto «Muoniverse» permetterà di sviluppare ulteriormente la ricerca sulle linee di particelle elementari chiamate muoni, avvalendosi dell’impianto di fasci di muoni più importante al mondo.
"Stiamo facendo tutto il possibile"
L'Istituto Paul Scherrer PSI aumenta di cento volte l'intensità dei suoi fasci di muoni. Questo offre possibilità completamente nuove per la fisica e la ricerca sui materiali.
Identificate le cause dello smog di Sarajevo
Legna, carbone e aria di cucina sono le principali fonti del forte smog nella capitale della Bosnia-Erzegovina. Questo è il risultato di un'ampia campagna di misurazione mobile condotta dai ricercatori del PSI.
Un modello di sistema energetico completo per la Svizzera
I sistemi energetici devono affrontare sfide complesse e a lungo termine, soggette a un elevato grado di incertezza. Il modello di sistema energetico STEM del Gruppo di Economia dell'Energia del PSI è diventato uno strumento importante per la ricerca di queste sfide e il supporto al processo decisionale.
