Thea Klaeboe Aarrestad talks about her research at CERN and retraces how she became interested in the power of machine learning methods for particle physics.

Researchers have shown how electronic correlations in two-dimensional materials can be manipulated through electromagnetic vacuum field fluctuations in a cavity, opening new possibilities for materials research with cavity quantum electrodynamics.

We spoke with Michele Vallisneri about his recent move to ETH Zurich, his research plans and the profound impact of the first gravitational-wave detection in 2015.

The planned space missions to search for remote life will provide valuable insights even if they do not find any evidence of life, says astrophysicist Daniel Angerhausen.

At a ceremony in Los Angeles on 5 April, the four major experimental collaborations at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb – were awarded the prestigious Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.

A team led by researchers at ETH Zurich's Institute for Particle Physics and Astrophysics studied what insights can be gained from a 'no life detected' scenario in future exoplanet surveys.

An interview with D-PHYS alumnus Dr Leonardo Facheris, R&D Engineer at Sensirion.

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that makes it easier to study interactions between electrons in a material. Using a moiré material consisting of twisted atomic layers they created an artificial crystal lattice in a neighbouring material.  

The researcher received the award for his leading work on a loophole-free Bell test with superconducting circuits and for his enthusiasm for science communication.
