Registration for the #CCP4SW 2026 is now open! Being held as hybrid event with in-person at EMCC, Nottingham, UK between 7-9 January 2026. This year's topic is Ligands in Focus: Decoding Ligand Binding in Modern Structural Biology. Find out more at studyweekend.ccp4.ac.uk

Think I must have missed the red bit, though always impressed how well the phone takes photos....

PSI is now computing with Merlin-7 – a virtual cluster on the Alps supercomputer at CSCS in Lugano. Flexible, energy-efficient, and ideal for AI, materials research, and more. 💻💧 #PSI #Merlin7 www.psi.ch/en/news/medi...

Exciting day ahead with the #EnhanceR 2025 symposium supporting #rse in Switzerland.

This is a really exciting role working with me around some really exciting technologies and scientific data. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like more info.

An international team of scientists observed dynamic topological Hall effect in the material Fe₃Ga₄ at room temperature. This makes it practical for potential everyday applications such as more efficient electronic devices. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New results from the MEG II experiment were presented today at the @psich.bsky.social! The search for the decay of a positive muon into a positron and a photon continues… Read more: www.psi.ch/en/cnm/news/...

A massive congratulations, as well, to all the Controls and Science IT (CaSIT) groups who have been working behind the screens, I mean scenes, to get this all going! 🎉

The @rosfrankinst.bsky.social is currently looking for a 50% secondment in AI to work with me and everyone at the Franklin. Please pass on the info to others who might be interested, and please do get in touch if you would like any more information. www.rfi.ac.uk/latest/call-...

Thom Mason, Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory was at PSI to discuss how they are responding to evolving national priorities and the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape.

🎉 The PSI spin-off Araris Biotech AG has been acquired by Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., for $1.14 billion – a great achievement, making it the first PSI spin-off to reach the exclusive 🦄"UNICORN" level! #Unicorn #ResearchAtPSI #TechnologyTransfer #FromResearchToMarket #PSISpinoff

Using operando neutron imaging and diffraction, researchers at PSI could follow how lithium moves inside ultra-thick graphite electrodes in real time. #LithiumIonBatteries #BatteryResearch #NeutronImaging advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

From a quarter of a lap to a million – it takes a whole team to perfectly bring electrons back to the storage ring at the Swiss Light Source SLS. www.psi.ch/en/news/psi-...

Even sofa rugby is not good for ones health.... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As part of the #EURAD-DONUT project, an interdisciplinary team led by PSI published a study on #machineLearning to enhance simulations for #nuclearWaste with a focus on geochemical calculations, the major computational bottleneck in reactive transport simulations. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We hope to have some student openings this year in our department so please submit to the PSI Center for Scientific Computing, Theory and Data www.psi.ch/en/hr/job-op...

PSI physicists have teamed up with Google to build a new type of digital-analogue #quantum #simulator that can be used to study physical phenomena with unprecedented precision and flexibility.

23 January 2025 - a day to remember: The electrons are back at the #SwissLightSource #SLS! 💫 With this, SLS is well on track to resume operation in summer 2025. Congratulations to the entire #SLS 2.0 team on this major milestone! 👏 #UpgradingSLS #LightSourceScience #MoreBrilliantLightForResearch

Researchers at PSI and leadXpro have leveraged a photoswitchable caffeine derivative to study ligand dissociation from a G protein-coupled receptor. This breakthrough is a crucial step in advancing our understanding of drug-receptor interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Back to work after a really good holiday break, and lots of exciting things happening already! It reminded me we currently have an open #ResearchSoftwareEngineer #RSE position in our #AdvancedResearchComputing group at the #RosalindFranklinInstitute. #Job opportunities.rfi.ac.uk/vacancy/rese...

We had a "kind of white Christmas" in our bit of Switzerland, I think it's the first since we have been here. It didn't snow but the snow that fell a couple of weeks ago persisted and the last few days it's been foggy and freezing all day. The place has transformed into a magical winter wonderland!

Yesterday morning, a colleague (Phil Willmott) took this photo of the SLS @psich.bsky.social. But instead of pending warning, by yesterday evening some great progress was made on the SLS 2.0 upgrade and the progress of the beam towards the upgraded storage ring 🤐. Great work by all involved! 2025 🥳

When you change country, it doesn't matter how much you enjoy or embrace it, some things just stay confusing, and I'm ok with that! www.newlyswissed.com/how-the-swis...

After a week in Atlanta #SC24, it's back to Switzerland and @psich.bsky.social tomorrow with great new insights. The weather was warm, but the welcome in the Georgia Aquarium was warmest, "Croeso" a diolch! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸🇨🇭

Last day of #SC24. If you are still in Atlanta, please consider the Interactive HPC workshop, Room B-315, today 8:30 to 12:00. www.interactivehpc.com

Aeroradiometry can be used to detect radioactivity on the ground from the air – in real time! A fascinating insight into the annual measurement flights of the NEOC together with PSI. www.psi.ch/en/news/psi-...

When I left for Atlanta (~20oC) #SC24 last Saturday, Switzerland was still warmish, but last night... I'm not prepared....

If you want to know why so many farmers are protesting, please read this. This isn't just about inheritance tax - though for many that was the final straw. Broken promises, huge cuts to funding, appalling trade deals - the Conservatives and now Labour have betrayed our farmers.

With the SLS 2.0 upgrade, experiments at the #SLS will achieve up to 1,000x the previous performance level, resulting in a substantial increase in data production 💾. Huge kudos 👏 to our support team and #IBM for installing new Storage Scale Systems 6000. @alunashton.bsky.social

We're gearing up to welcome #SLS2.0 data here at @psich.bsky.social . Thanks to #IBM!

Delighted to be at #sc24 here in Atlanta and give an invited talk in the XLOOP workshop. Thanks to all who stated awake 😉 and a great exchange! (I was leaning over a banister, I don't usually 😁!) wordpress.cels.anl.gov/xloop-2024/w...

Applications are currently open for the #PhD program at the #RosalindFranklinInstitute, and there are lots of opportunities to pursure projects in #ComputerScience and #Physics as well others. Check out projects 17-19 for opportunities to work with me and my team. www.rfi.ac.uk/phd-project-...

Our first post on Bluesky? It could only be one thing 👀 Are you missing the blue skies and lighter evenings this week? It’s been grey and overcast for many… But will it be more of the same for the next 10 days? Find out in our latest YouTube video 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgwz...

@jacobfilik.bsky.social seems I've had an account for a while! But not sure how much I will use yet!
