February 11 is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The United Nations General Assembly established this day eight years ago to draw attention to the crucial role that girls and women play in science and technology.
"Saturday Morning Physics" is an exciting series of events for people interested in physics - especially for young people aged 14 and over. On Saturday, a researcher from the University of Basel will present a current topic on quantum…
The Department of Physics congratulates Prof. Dr. Dominik Zumbühl on his promotion to Full Professor as of the spring semester 2023.
Physicists at the University of Basel have experimentally demonstrated for the first time that there is a negative correlation between the two spins of an entangled pair of electrons from a superconductor. For their study, the researchers…
We are very pleased to announce that NCCR SPIN’s scientific coordinator, Maria Longobardi, was named fellow of the American Physical Society for 2022.
Neural networks are learning algorithms that approximate the solution to a task by training with available data. However, it is usually unclear how exactly they accomplish this. Two young Basel physicists have now derived mathematical…
Cooling materials to extremely low temperatures is important for basic physics research as well as for technological applications. By improving a special refrigerator and a low-temperature thermometer, Basel scientists have now managed to…
Begoña Abad will be able to continue her research starting her own team. She will be developing "Correlative metrologies to probe thermal, elastic and electron-phonon properties in nano-engineered materials"
The Swiss Physical Society (SPS) awards prizes to young physicists for outstanding research in the early stages of their careers. In 2022, two former PhD students of the Department of Physics and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute have…
