The study, recently published in Neuron, shows that distinct perceptual biases – long thought to arise from separate brain systems – can, in fact, be explained by a single, biologically grounded mechanism. The research, led by professors Sebastian Goldt and Mathew E. Diamond, and first-authored by Francesca Schönsberg...
A new study reveals that during a possible phase of primordial matter domination, interactions between particles could have given rise to the first compact cosmic objects. The research, conducted by researchers from SISSA in collaboration with INFN, IFPU, and the University of Warsaw, has been published in Physical Review D...
New research from SISSA reveals the existence, in rats, of direct cross-modal interactions between distinct sensory modalities, capable of modulating perceptual processing. Specifically, auditory signals were found to compress the visual perceptual space in rodents...
The SISSA professor receives the 2026 Rahman Prize — the most prestigious international recognition for those who harness the power of supercomputers to uncover new laws of nature and apply them to cutting-edge technologies.
The Orientation Day 2025 will take place on Friday, 14 November, starting at 9:30 a.m. in Room 128-129. During the event, the student representatives will offer an introduction to life at SISSA, providing useful information about the School’s services and practical aspects of student life...
A new SISSA study, published in Physical Review Letters, clarifies a theoretical puzzle in a model system for strong interactions
Founded in 2010 with fewer than ten members, SISSA mathLab is today a well-established reality. On Wednesday, October 29, it will celebrate its fifteenth anniversary with the event Innovation is Mathematics. The celebration will feature the participation of the group’s founders and members, together with representatives of several industrial partners...
The goal of the event is to explore the connection between AI and health in its various dimensions — from basic research to possible applications in clinical practice, and its use in healthcare services...
The inaugural ceremony will take place starting at 11:00 a.m. in the “Paolo Budinich” Main Lecture Hall. The event will open with institutional greetings and a welcome address by SISSA Director Andrea Romanino. This will be followed by remarks from representatives of the SISSA community...
Reflecting on the spread of generative artificial intelligence technologies, analyzing their opportunities, challenges and ethical and regulatory implications. This is the goal of the Artificial Intelligence Forum, a festival dedicated to AI organized by the Municipality of Tavagnacco and DITEDI, in collaboration with SISSA. The School participates with two round tables on innovation and a conversation between Gianluigi Rozza and Amalia Ercoli Finzi...
SISSA Colloquium returns on Monday, October 20th, at 2 PM in Aula Magna Budinich with Professor Gábor Tamás (University of Szeged, Hungary)
What are the elements and resources that make a quantum computer so advantageous compared to traditional computers?
A new study published in PRX Quantum by Alessio Paviglianiti, Guglielmo Lami, Mario Collura, and Alessandro Silva from SISSA has sought to answer this question...
The initiative “Da Miramare al Cosmo” returns for its second edition, featuring four public science outreach events on a range of research topics. The series is organised by the Institute for Fundamental Physics of the Universe (IFPU) in collaboration with Miramare Castle and supported by SISSA Medialab...
JobFair, the traditional job meeting of the Italian Schools of Excellence, will take place on 22 and 23 October 2025 at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa...
From digital twins to aging, from quantum mechanics to psychoanalysis: once again, SISSA is participating in Trieste Next and European Researchers' Night, with interactive activities and debates on its research and initiatives. From September 26 to 28...
A new study from SISSA, led by Antonello Mallamaci and published in Neural Regeneration Research, shows that a substantial portion of mammalian transcription factors can physically interact with proteins involved in downstream steps of gene expression....
Professor of Numerical Analysis and coordinator of mathLab, he will head one of the main scientific bodies in our country at the intersection of research, technology, and industry
This has been established by a new piece of research published in Physical Review Letters, based on 250,000 simulations and confirmed by observations. The cosmic web still carries traces of their existence. The study was conducted by an international team led by SISSA in Trieste...
SISSA, through the Comitato Unico di Garanzia (CUG) and as part of the PRO-BEN project promoted by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), organizes two meetings with science journalist Silvia Bencivelli, a public event and a reserved one...
