  • In Memoriam: Prof. Dr. Günter Scharf, Professor Emeritus for theoretical physics

    Deceased on August 16, 2020 at the age of 82

    Günter Robert Scharf was full professor of theoretical physics at the University of Zurich from 1970 to 2006. In particular, he was a capacity in mathematical physics.

  • Tetraquark

    LHCb discovers a new type of tetraquark

    The LHCb collaboration has observed a type of four-quark particle never seen before. It is the  first observation of a so called tetraquark with four heavy quarks of the same type, specifically two charm quarks and two charm antiquarks

  • XENON

  • LHCb

    LHCb: new angular analysis confirms old puzzle

    The LHCb collaboration presented in a CERN seminar the update of a full angular analysis of the B0→K*μμ decay. The tension previously seen between the LHCb results and the Standard Model predictions persists.

  • Chang

    Two-flavor superconductivity

    Members of group Chang have provided new insight into the intricate competing relationship between charge density waves and high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates.

  • ML Workshop

    Machine Learning Workshop, postponed

    The workshop aims at showcasing the work of researchers at the University of Zürich that intend to use Machine Learning (ML) to enhance results of their research, while also providing a hands-on session as an example of how advanced ML tools are practically used.

  • Gibert

    Unusual coupling in an artificial material

    The group of Marta Gibert published results on the transport properties of atomic-precise superlattices made from two alternating distinct nickelate layers, NdNiO3 and SmNiO3 in Nature Materials.
