SISSA Colloquia are back on Wednesday 26 September with a talk by Asimina Arvanitaki on how black holes or precision experiments may provide us with evidence on the presence of new physics...
The role of science and culture is to address, deepen and illustrate the complexity of phenomena, including immigration and, in particular, the problems related to researchers in exile.
This is one of the key messages that emerged yesterday during the event held in the Budinich...
The two-day event aims at strengthening the collaboration between the two researchers' communities. A series of colloquium style seminars in various fields of physics and mathematics will give a glimpse...
SISSA Colloquia are back on Thursday 13 September with a talk by Itamar Procaccia on the physical origin of mechanical failure of amorphous media, a ubiquitous phenomenon from material engineering to geology...
Consider a short piece of rope: could you guess which knots are more likely to form if you crumple and shake it? Synthetic chemists have long been working on a molecular version of this problem and, so far...
SISSA would like to warmly congratulate Alessio Figalli on his extraordinary achievement that represents a great success for Italian Mathematics community...
MCS is a challenging two-year training course that offers the best job opportunities in cutting-edge sectors. One of the oldest and most well established science communication masters in Europe, MCS focuses on interdisciplinary and international education...
"I am honored by the very ambitious Fermi Prize, moved by the consideration and support of many colleagues and friends, and flattered by the company of Federico Capasso and Lev Pitaevskii, scientists whose contributions are immortal." Erio Tosatti, Professor Emeritus of SISSA...
On 17 July 2018 the results relating to the final analyses on the data from the Planck satellite was published. SISSA scientists have had an important role in the research...
SISSA will take part in the second edition of Campus Party bringing more than a forty-year tradition in basic research in physics, mathematics and neuroscience. During the five-days event aimed at rewriting "together the Italian source code", the School...
On July 14 Trieste will officially receive the mandate to organize the next EuroScience Open Forum edition in 2020!
The ceremony will take place in the frame of ESOF2018 Toulouse.
ESOF is the largest interdisciplinary science meeting in Europe. It is dedicated to scientific research and innovation and offers a unique framework for interaction and debate for scientists, innovators, policy makers, business people and the general public.
Ready for the fifth edition, the Master in High Performance Computing is an innovative specialization program that prepares students for exciting careers...
SISSA and ICTP will combine their strengths as international centres of physics and mathematics excellence to form a new institute dedicated to the two fields. The Institute for Geometry and Physics - IGAP will promote innovative and interdisciplinary research...
A new study by SISSA brings a new twist to the problem and suggests that the DNA propensity to be supercoiled, just like telephone cords, can come to the rescue. These coils can keep DNA knots locked...
A sophisticated atomic-level computer simulation has allowed researchers from SISSA and the National Research Centre (CNR-IOM - Institute for Materials Manufacturing) to shed light, for the first time, on the function of an important biological system called spliceosome, which works as a highly skilled tailor. The spliceosome is composed of 5 filaments of RNA and hundreds of proteins.
The ICTP Prize has been awarded to Emilio Kropff, a neuroscientist from Argentina. The Prize recognizes Kropff’s outstanding contributions to neurosciences...
On 30 June a seminar at SISSA and a meeting at Caffè San Marco will look back over the activities and the ideas of one of the fathers of neural computation, whose scientific commitment was one with his socio-political commitment, in particular on the Israeli-Palestinian issue...
«It is a great honour for me to receive this award. I see it as an acknowledgement for my research, but also for SISSA, the institute where I have worked for many years and which has given me the opportunity to carry out my studies in the best possible way...
The celebrations to mark SISSA’s 40th Anniversary continue with a new edition of SISSA Summer Festival. From 21 June to 5 July, every week, the open-air amphitheatre of the School will entertain with concerts and plays dedicated to the relationship between art and science...
A work led by SISSA and published on Nature Nanotechnology reports for the first time experimentally the phenomenon of ion ‘trapping’ by graphene carpets and its effect on the communication between neurons...
