Measuring How Molecules Communicate
A collaboration between PSI and the University of Vienna has resulted in a new experimental method that, for the first time, enables the direct measurement of partial charges in molecules. Partial charges are fundamental to understanding molecular structure, interactions, and reactivity, yet until now no general technique existed to determine them experimentally.
Zink in verstopften Spritzen nachgewiesen
Für das Pharmaunternehmen MSD hat ANAXAM mithilfe von Forschenden des PSI untersucht, ob Zink zur Verstopfung von Fertigspritzen beitragen kann.
Peering into matter with ultrashort X-ray ripples
An all-X-ray transient grating experiment allows scientists to study the dynamics of quantum particles at the nanoscale.
