SISSA is a public institute that makes scientific excellence in research and training its distinctive feature. Supporting our activities means taking a step towards a better tomorrow. For all of us...
Applications to the initiative PHD4INNOVATING are open from 30th of June to 24th of July. The project, created on the occasion of ESOF2020, follows PHD4PMI, an experimental initiative of SISSA which aims to connect PhD and PostDoc students with Small and Medium Enterprises ...
At this difficult time, we believe it is important that SISSA community takes back control over the future of the School, in line with the innovative vision and the values that have always distinguished it; it is now time for us to rethink together...
The Field Medal Winner will give his ICTP-SISSA webinar on July 2nd at 4 PM. Alessio Figalli is professor of mathematics at ETH Zurich and Director of the Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik (FIM)...
The School is starting again part of its activities and a number of procedures have been put in place to guarantee everybody's safety. They are summarised below through some Frequently Asked Questions.
Lorenzo Piroli, who has received his PhD in Statistical Physics at SISSA and is currently a postdoc researcher at Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich, has been just awarded the 2019 edition of “Sergio Fubini” Prize assigned by INFN ...
Enrollments in SISSA’s Master's Course in Science Communication “Franco Prattico” (MCS) are open. It is a training course that offers the best job opportunities in cutting-edge sectors ...
According to new research by SISSA, ICTP and INFN, black holes could be like a hologram, where all the information is amassed in a two-dimensional surface able to reproduce a three-dimensional image. In this way, these cosmic bodies, as affirmed by quantum theories, could be incredibly complex...
A new study sheds light on how the spliceosome works. It is a complex cellular system, composed of proteins and RNA, responsible for a “cutting and sewing” process with which protein synthesis is carried out. Defects in its functioning are involved in more than 200 diseases...
Much of what we will be as adults depends on the first years of life, on what we simply observe happening around us and not only on what we are taught explicitly. This also applies to the development of the visual system. This is the conclusion of two SISSA neuroscientists...

One of the central concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a given computation depend on that computation...
To simulate in a laboratory what happens in particle accelerators has been an ambitious goal in the study of the fundamental forces of nature pursued by high-energy physicists for many years ...
Since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic SISSA scientists have been working at different levels to help understanding the virus, finding new therapies and developing strategies to contain its diffusion. Here are some of the ongoing projects.
Science is an endless source of extraordinary stories. In his new book, SISSA Professor Giuseppe Mussardo tell us 26 of them, one for each letter of the alphabet. The leading characters? Great scientists or incredible ideas...
SISSA offers 2 fellowships in the framework of an "Advanced Training Programme" leading to a fast track PhD in connection with the Inter-University Master course in Physics jointly delivered by the Universities of Trieste and Udine...
They are in the shape of a tadpole and interact with each other by harpooning between head and tail, thus presenting interesting and unexpected physical properties. Tadpoles are the large molecules at the centre of the new research just published in the journal ACS Macro Letters...
In the smartphone era a population can be immune to epidemics even if not a single one of its members is immune to the disease — a notion that can be called "digital herd immunity". On Wednesday 13 May 2020 at 4 pm, Shivaji Sondhi of Princeton University...
It works like a very fine “molecular knob” able to modulate the electrical activity of the neurons of our cerebral cortex, crucial to the functioning of our brain. Its name is Foxg1, it is a gene, and its unprecedented role is the focus on the discovery...
Enrolments are now open for the seventh edition of the Master's Degree Course in High Performance Computing (MHPC) co-organized by the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)...
