Orbital tomography is a method for reconstruction of molecular orbitals of organic adsorbates. Members of the group Osterwalder extended it to systems with multiple rotational domains.
Congratulations to Karin von Arx, the winner of the DECTRIS Experimental Physics Prize! The Prize is given to an excellent Master's thesis in experimental physics at our institute.
Stable single atom magnets may assume a secret identity! Holmium single atom magnets are mostly classical for safe data storage but when we turn them into a quantum system, they become excellent for state control.
Members of the Physics Department presented 52 posters with current research directions and ideas for future experiments and lead through the mechanical workshop and the research laboratories.
Titus Neupert will be awarded the 'Klung-Wilhelmy-Wissenschafts-Price' for his work on theoretical predictions of new topological states of matter, especially the fractional Chern insulators and higher order topological insulators.
We are mourning for our colleague, mentor, and friend, Alexey Soluyanov. After bravely fighting a hard struggle against his cancer, he has passed from us on October 26 in St. Petersburg, much too early, at the age of 36 years. We will remember Alexey Soluyanov as an eager and cheerful person, with whom we were lucky enough to share our passion for physics.
Marta Gibert was awarded the iWOE prize for excellency in research.
Impressions from our booth 'Dark Matter, Antimatter - Does it Matter?
at the Scientifica 2019, Friday, 30 August 2019 - Sunday, 1 September 2019 (https://www.scientifica.ch/)
The CMS collaboration has recently released new results on how the top quark and Higgs boson interact, and this required a much deeper understanding of the production of top quarks together with bottom quarks.
Theoretical particle physicists at the University of Zurich have completed a new precision calculation for the production of top-quark pairs at hadron colliders.

Congratulations to Daniel Salerno, the winner of the CMS PhD Thesis Award 2018.
The XENON experiment measured the extremely rare decay of Xenon-124 with a half-life of 1.8 ·1022 years.
The group of Andreas Schilling has developed a device that allows heat to flow from a cold to a warm object without an external power supply. Intriguingly - in appearing contradiction to fundamental laws of physics.
Frank Schindler, PhD student in Titus Neupert's group receives the special prize of the Mercator Award jury
Gino Isidori, UZH professor in physics, received an ERC (European Research Council) Advanced Grant for theoretical investigations about the origin of elementary particle masses, which aim at extending the current paradigm of fundamental interactions.
The LHCb Collaboration presented an updated measurement of the ratio RK, an important test of a principle of the Standard Model of particle physics known as "lepton universality", which states that electrons, muons and taus couple to other particles with the same strength.
The LHCb collaboration has just presented at the Rencontres de Moriond EW and in a special CERN Seminar the first observation of CP violation in charm particle decays.
Congratulations to Titus Neupert who has been honored with the American Physical Society Outstanding Referee award
The pulsar wind nebula HESS J1825-137 was one of the first sources detected by HESS in the Galactic Plane and the first to show strong energy-dependent morphology.
In a trio of recent papers, the group of Prof. J. Chang has made a number of new discoveries about the nature of the cuprates' electronic structure and orbital composition.
In a collaboration with PSI, the group of Jürg Osterwalder built up a surface analytical instrument that can detect photoelectrons from solid liquid interfaces at vapor pressures up to 20 mbar. This method will be useful for energy research, for example for water splitting, fuel cells or batteries.
Johan Chang was appointed Associate Professor of Experimental Physics and Titus Neupert Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics of Condensed Matter
