Scientists make nanoparticles dance to unravel quantum limits
In an experiment carried out at D-ITET's Photonics Laboratory, researchers at the University of Manchester, together with scientists from ETH Zurich and the University of Innsbruck, have established a new approach to overcome a common problem in quantum physics. The results were published in the journal Nature Physics.
New Swiss chip initiative launched
Semiconductor technologies and IC design are vital for Switzerland's science and industry, but global trends like the US, China, India or the EU intensifying domestic production could harm Switzerland's position. Additionally, exclusion from EU programmes limits access to crucial research infrastructure. To counter this, the SwissChips initiative, led by ETH Zurich with its designated head Prof. Christoph Studer, aims to strengthen Swiss research collaborations in IC design and microelectronics.
New Director of Studies at D-ITET
