Bonn celebrates 70 years of research at CERN

From 14 to 20 September 2024, the University of Bonn celebrated the 70th anniversary of the famous European nuclear research center CERN for an entire week. With a varied program of science slams, physics shows and a concluding symposium, the focus was on the fascinating world of particle physics.

Researchers create a one-dimensional gas out of light

Physicists at the University of Bonn and the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) have created a one-dimensional gas out of light. This has enabled them to test theoretical predictions about the transition into this exotic state of matter for the first time. The method used in the experiment by the researchers could be used for examining quantum effects. The results have been published in the journal “Nature Physics.”

ERC Starting Grant for Assistant Professor Andrina Nicola

In her ERC Starting Grant project, “PiCo—Towards constraining the Pillars of our Cosmological model using combined probes”, Assistant Professor Andrina Nicola from the Argelander Institute for Astronomy at the University of Bonn will be exploring two fundamental questions of modern physics: What mechanism gave rise to the primordial fluctuations seeding all the structures seen in the Universe today? And what is the cause of the Universe’s late-time accelerated expansion?
