A new study conducted by SISSA's Laboratory of Cerebral Cortex Development and recently published in BMC Biology has led to a surprising revelation about the role of the FOXG1 gene: not only does it orchestrate development of the anterior brain by regulating RNA transcription, but its role includes direct regulation of RNA translation...

FOXG1: a SISSA study reveals the dual role of key neurodevelopmental gene
The Cosmos 2024 Prize was awarded to Giuseppe Mussardo for his book "Maksimovič. The story of Bruno Pontecorvo". The award ceremony took place last week during the Cosmos Festival, an initiative held in Reggio Calabria...
“AI: research and innovation in the territory” is the title of a session, curated by SISSA in collaboration with the iNEST Consortium, SMACT, and the Maritime Technology Cluster FVG, to be held on Saturday 19 October at 11:30 a.m. at the P. Maurensig Immersive Theater in Tavagnacco (UD)...
The study revealed that so-called “Calcium-dependent chloride ion channels”, which act like “gates” regulating chloride ion flows in and out of the cell, play a role in regulating tumor cell lines division and thus their proliferation...

SISSA joins the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) in raising awareness about the dangers of Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50-100 times more potent than morphine, now present in Europe...
Radiocarbon dating can fail, but archeology can still save the day. This is the key message of the seminar that Elisabetta Boaretto, physicist of the Weizmann Institute in Israel, will give at SISSA on Friday 27 September...
From 27 to 29 September, the Festival of Scientific Research is back in Trieste with a programme of over 100 events in Italian and English, 300 speakers and great international guests. On Friday 27 September the programme is also enriched by the activities organised by Sharper - the European Researchers' Night...
Dedicated to the memory of SISSA Professor Sandro Sorella, this agreement aims to provide a unique research opportunity for one PhD student from SISSA’s Condensed Matter group every two years...
JOBFair is a great opportunity to network and meet leading innovative companies in an event dedicated exclusively to PhD students and postdocs from the six Italian Schools of Excellence...
Two prizes to support the publication of editorial works on science policy and science communication
SISSA announces the opening of a competition for the awarding of two prizes to support the publication of the two best editorial works on topics related to the relationship between science policy and science communication...
The Master in Data Management and Curation, organised by Area Science Park, Istituto Officina dei Materiali (CNR-IOM), and SISSA, commenced this morning. This advanced programme is designed for early-career researchers who aim to develop expertise in data management, specifically following the FAIR principles, which are critical for research infrastructures...
Chatbots like ChatGPT were unthinkable a few years ago. Now they are part of our everyday life. However, we still don’t know why they work so well and how good these techniques can become in the future. With his project “beyond2”, SISSA physicist Sebastian Goldt hopes to discover the fundamental theoretical principles that allow neural networks to achieve that kind of performance and learn something about the structure of language in the process. Thanks to the European Research Council, he will have 1.5 million Euros over the next five years to pursue his dream.
A recent study by SISSA cosmologists explores the Hubble Tension, proposing a new method to measure the Universe's expansion and assess potential discrepancies with the standard cosmological model.
A recent study published in Physical Review Letters reveals that quantum systems with long-range interactions exhibit different behaviours under various thermodynamic conditions...
Statistical physics, biophysics, astroparticle physics and data science. These are the research fields of the young researchers who will spend two years at SISSA thanks to the funding programme of the European Commision’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions...
Enrollments for the Master in Comunicazione della Scienza “Franco Prattico" (MCS), organised by the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of SISSA, are now open. Founded in 1993, MCS is a one-year course held in Italian, aiming to train professionals in various fields of science communication...
Liquid water below the freezing point shows surprising electric properties. Researchers find that supercooled water spontaneously develops long-lived electric fields in a study that investigates the coexistence of two liquid phases below freezing temperature. The result was discovered by researchers at SISSA and ICTP, in Italy, and published in the journal PNAS.
Sara Murciano, who completed her doctorate in the Statistical Physics group at SISSA in Trieste, received the prestigious "Sergio Fubini" prize for her thesis entitled "Entanglement and symmetries in many-body quantum systems."
In a new article just published in the journal Physical Review Research, Antimo Marrazzo from SISSA and Nicola Colonna, from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland, advocate for a paradigm shift by introducing a new functional approach that allows...
