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...
Guido De Philippis has won the Gold medal “Guido Stampacchia”. The prize awards under 35 scientists who have carried out significant research in the field of Variational Analysis and Applications. The Prize is announced every three years by “International School of Mathematics “Guido Stampacchia”, part of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for ScientiIic Culture, and the Mathematics Italian Union (Unione Matematica Italiana).
A laser pulse that for a few picoseconds – i.e. one millionth of one millionth of a second- transforms a material into a high-temperature superconductor...
“Thanks to science in the kitchen we can become fantastic hackers", says Davide Cassi, Professor of Physics of Matter at the University of Parma, where he has founded and manages the Gastronomic Physics Laboratory. Cassi will hold a conference during SISSA in FESTA, the appointment...
The great adventure which led SISSA to become a prestigious international scientific institution began on 6 March 1978 by Presidential Decree. The numerous awards which it continues to win bear witness to its excellence and to the quality of its research...
On its 40th Anniversary SISSA publishes the Manifesto on the Role of Women Networks in Research signed by internationally acclaimed female researchers and delegates of several women networks in science...
Brain blood flow is regulated to ensure adequate power for neuronal computation. It is controlled at the arteriole level by smooth muscle, but there is controversy over whether it is also regulated by pericytes at the capillary level. On Thursday 7 June, David Attwel of UCL will...
The Ministry for Economic Development - MISE finances with more than 7.5 million euro the project of Triveneto Universities – including SISSA – aimed at setting up the SMACT Competence Centre focused on digital technologies – Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud, IoT – and on business...
A new approach to measure quantum entanglement in multiparticle systems. This is the key outcome of a study conducted by SISSA, ICTP and IQOQI-Innsbruck recently published in Nature Physics...
