Muoniverse brings together researchers from the natural, engineering and heritage sciences to unlock the potential of muons, the heavy siblings of the electron. We develop new technologies that enable discoveries, and build a community that drives pioneering research across disciplines.
Muoniverse is a Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) built around the world-leading muon facility at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). Around 30 research teams from universities, research institutions and museums develop new beams and detectors, probe fundamental physics and quantum materials, and apply muons in fields ranging from energy research to cultural heritage. Platforms for training, innovation and outreach, along with the artists-in-labs Program, carry the results to industry, students and the public.

APS Fellowship recognizes the excellence in physics and exceptional service to the physics community.

What are muons and why we care about them — explained in the newest edition of UZH Magazin.

Muonium is an exotic atom formed by a positive muon and an electron. Congratulations to Anna Soter and the team for this great achievement – an intense, cold muonium beam that opens new opportunities to test fundamental physics.

Sandro Della Torre from SRF paid a visit to PSI during the muon beamtime. The journalist was interested to know how muons help archeologists learn about the precious finds.

We visited Scientifica, Switzerland's largest science festival. At our booth, people could discover how muons are used in research, see real objects studied with muons, and explore hands-on demonstrations.

We had a great honor of being invited to the workshop organized by MaNEP, a network that originates from one of the first NCCRs
