A marking technology developed by PHASIS, a spin-off of the DQMP, was nominated among the 5 best innovations at the EPHJ 2024 fair (PALEXPO, Geneva).

The next MaNEP Winter School will be held from January 12 to 17, 2025 in Saas-Fee.

Congratulations to Antoine Georges who has been elected an international member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The ceremony took place on April 26th, 2024 during the 161th NAS Annual meeting in Washington DC.

An international research team from Innsbruck and Geneva has, for the first time, probed the dimensional crossover for ultracold quantum matter. In the regime between one and two dimensions, the quantum particles perceive their world as being 1D or 2D depending on the length scale on which they...

MaNEP offers 3rd and 4th year physics students the unique opportunity to work for a month this summer in one of the top research teams affiliated to the MaNEP Network, while receiving a financial support. Since 2004, these internships have successfully encouraged several of the participants to...

The scientific community has long been fascinated by the mysterious behavior of charge density waves (CDWs) in certain metals, particularly those based on vanadium in the kagome structure. A recent breakthrough, outlined in the paper titled "Phonon Promoted Charge Density Wave in Topological...

We are glad to announce that the new edition of the MaNEP Swiss Workshop on Materials with Novel Electronic Properties will take place in Les Diablerets from August 14th to 16th, 2024.

An international research team from Innsbruck and Geneva has developed a new thermometry method to measure temperatures for low-dimensional quantum gases. With this method it was found that compressing a gas may lead to cooling. The results on this counterintuitive phenomenon have just been...

A UNIGE team is developing new alloys with bactericidal properties to combat antibiotic-resistant germs.

The International Workshop “Electrons, Photons and Plasmons, 2024” will take place in presence on June 10-12 in Nyon, Switzerland.

It is known since 2004 that a boundary (interface) between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, which are both insulating oxide materials, hosts an electrically conducting two-dimensional electron system (2DES). It is also known that two-dimensional electron systems support plasmon-polaritons, which are peculiar...

150,000 CHF for faster, easier analysis of spectroscopic data in materials science.

Quantum breakthroughs are opening up enormous horizons. In this race between science and diplomacy, Geneva holds a key role.

Clémentine Thibault, PhD in the UNIGE’s group of Oxides Interfaces Physics received the “Best Presentation award”  for her poster : “Coupling oxygen octahedra rotation in orthorhombic perovskite heterostructures: The LaVO3/DyScO3 case” at the International Workshop on Oxide...

John Letzing, a journalist at the World Economic Forum, recently sat down with Prof. Carmine Senatore to discuss the fascinating realm of superconducting technologies. While the scientific community initially buzzed with excitement over claims of achieving room-temperature superconductivity,...

We are glad to announce the conference The Magic of Disorder and Correlations, from 17th to 19th January 2024, to be held at the University of Geneva.

The combination of a high-precision marking technique, developed by a UNIGE spin-off, and a tamper-proof digital certification system enables any valuable object to be authenticated and tracked.
