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…
For the first time, physicists from the University of Basel have succeeded in coupling different types of electron-hole pairs (excitons) in the van der Waals material molybdenum disulfide. This successful coupling allows them to utilize and…
We congratulate our polymechanic apprentice, Mr Luca Navarretta, for his successful apprenticeship, which he completed with a grade of 5.2.
