Cells are considered the fundamental units of life, each surrounded by a fluid membrane. These membranes not only protect the cells but also display captivating patterns on their surfaces, which can be involved in the communication between different cells or between a cell and its environment. The ...

Welcome to Prof. Ajit Srivastava who has joined the DQMP as an Associate Professor since July 1st, 2023. 

João Ferreira, PhD researcher at the DQMP, UNIGE and the recipient of the Cogito grant, has completed the development of his innovative quantum physics board game, |Hop>.

Transition metal perovskites constitute a family of materials that offers a vast range of engineerable properties due to the strong interplay between their spin, charge, orbital and structural degrees of freedom, making them an exciting playground for both fundamental studies and technological...

An international research team led by the University of Geneva solves a decades-old conundrum about the incompatibility between the optical properties and the electrical resistivity in the “cuprates”, materials that are superconducting at high temperature. These findings, published in Nature...

For their project "Non-polarizing optical module", Jérémie Teyssier and Volodymyr Multian received an Innogap grant from UNITEC, UNIGE. They developed an optical module that can replace a beam splitter or a dichroic mirror while preserving the polarization state of the transmitted and reflected...
