Since the beginning of the epidemic, SISSA has always strived to keep its students and staff safe and prepared and using all the resources at our disposal. Among these, Immuni, the Italian contact tracing app, is a valuable tool that sadly has not been taken up as much as it should have. Every single user increases its overall effectiveness: we strongly recommend you to install Immuni and use it correctly.
By reconstructing on a small scale the physical processes that take place within ice giant planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, a new method of computer simulation allows to shed light on their present structure and past evolution...
The objective of the survey is to collect and measure subjective perception and awareness regarding the gender balance in science and technology...
The return to the classroom in the autumn for SISSA after the Coronavirus emergency aims to protect health and greater assistance.
SISSA Summer Festival reaches its fourth edition with a new collaboration with the Museo Storico e il Parco del Castello di Miramare. The theme of the Festival is artificial intelligence. In the wonderful setting of the Miramare Castle park, two shows that mix dramaturgy...
To fight viruses, cells can deploy defence enzymes that progressively destroy viral genome strands starting from one of the two strand ends. However, this degradation mechanism is not effective against epidemic viruses such as Zika. In fact, the defence enzyme jams at precise points...
“We thought we knew almost everything about photoreceptors, but we have proved that is not the case”. With these words, Vincent Torre, Professor of neurobiology of SISSA, comments the results of a new study that, thanks to a multidisciplinary approach and to the use of optical tweezers...
