Today, the European Commission launched its flagship initiative on quantum technologies. Three research groups from the Department of Physics at the University of Basel are involved.

Scientists at the University of Basel have found a way to change the spatial arrangement of bipyridine molecules on a surface.

How is it possible that so many different and highly specific neurons arise in the brain? A mathematic model developed by researchers from the University of Basel's Biozentrum demonstrates that different variants of genes enable such a random diversity.

Air pollution and transportation noise are both associated with an increased risk of heart attacks.

For years, scientists have been trying to determine the climate of the past in order to make better predictions about future climate conditions.

A new technique makes it possible to obtain an individual fingerprint of the current-carrying edge states occurring in novel materials such as topological insulators or 2D materials.
