Getting to the roots of a global health problem
Research
PSI
Imad El Haddad analyses the chemical composition and health impacts of particulate matter at the Center for Energy and Environmental Sciences of the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. 
A complex promise
Research
PSI
There’s more to climate-neutral aviation than just reducing emissions during flights. A PSI study analyses what is needed to achieve this long-term goal.
On the way to light-controlled medicine
Research
PSI
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have succeeded in elucidating the structure of specific photoreceptors. With their help, it may be possible to switch cellular activities on and off using light. This capability could become an important tool in biological research and medical applications.
Can aerosols stop global warming?
Research
PSI
Markus Ammann, head of the Multiphase Chemistry research group at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and adjunct professor of atmospheric chemistry at ETH Zurich, ranks considerations regarding the use of so-called geoengineering to put the brakes on climate change and explains what the Swiss Light Source SLS has to do with it.
New association combines medical practice and research
Politics
PSI Empa
In future, doctors at Aargau hospitals can apply for research time via the "Association for Medical Research and Innovation in the Canton of Aargau". For 6 to 24 months, they will then be able to carry out research alongside their work with teams at ETH Zurich, Empa or the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI.
Using quantum computers already today
Research
PSI
Understanding how chemical reactions really happen at a quantum mechanical level is difficult. As experimental tools such as the SwissFEL enable new insights into the ultrafast changes that govern them, the data becomes too complicated to model classically. Here, simulations on quantum computers could help.
