Research Highlights

As particle physicists envision the future of their discipline, one point is clear: there's much potential for exploration and discovery beyond the Standard Model.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have contributed to an overview article that establishes a common language for phonon research and defines precisely what kinds of angular momentum-carrying phonons can exist in solid-state materials.

In the Institute for Quantum Electronics, the Lattice Lab has been running for over two decades without significant interruptions, consistently pushing the boundaries of what can be learned from an ultracold fermionic gas trapped in an optical lattice.

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.

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.
