The 2026 edition of the traditional Boltzmann Lecture will be held on Monday, February 23rd, at 14:00 in Room 128–129. Michele Caselle (Università di Torino, INFN) will give a seminar titled “Physics of Interfaces in the Three-Dimensional Ising Model”...
Ageing is not a purely degenerative phenomenon, but a dynamic process involving biological, experiential and environmental factors. This is the result of two different projects conducted at SISSA as part of Age-it, which thus demonstrate the existence of possible protective and corrective factors...
He is remembered not only for his original and profound scientific contributions, internationally recognised in the fields of dynamical systems, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, but also for his ability to build deep human relationships and sincere friendships with colleagues and students alike...
On the tenth anniversary of his disappearance, SISSA remembers him as an example of passion, determination, and courage. Our School joins all those voices calling for the silences, evasions, and unanswered questions that still surround this tragic case to finally be broken...
SISSA Professor Serguey Petcov tells: “In an article published in 2002 in the journal Physics Letters B, my Ph.D. student Maurizio Piai and I proposed an experiment with reactor neutrinos emitted copiously by the nuclear reactors in nuclear power plants, to determine the spectrum of masses of neutrinos...
Linda Trifirò is the recipient of the scholarship awarded by the Pezcoller Foundation to the top-ranked candidate in the selection process for admission to the Master’s in Science Communication “Franco Prattico” for the 2025-26 academic year...
Despite the School’s small size, three projects have been funded through the most selective funding program of the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR). A result that once again recognises the quality of research at SISSA...
The critical thinking of students and scientists at risk, opaque results, fabricated content, and much more. In an article published in Nature Astronomy, SISSA scientist Roberto Trotta warns against “AI scientific junk.” Because, he says, “students, scientists and institutions could end up trapped by it.”...
SISSA, with a unanimous resolution of the Academic Senate, has recently launched a number of measures in relation to the humanitarian and political situation in the Palestinian territories, and in particular in the Gaza Strip...

The ranking compiled by Clarivate identifies the most influential researchers in the world in their field. Within the entire global population of scientists and social scientists,, “Highly Cited Researchers" represent 1 in 1,000. Each selected researcher is the author of multiple Highly Cited Papers, which over the past eleven years have ranked in the top 1% most cited...
SISSA and the independent media outlet FACTA have been awarded funding from the Journalism Science Alliance for their joint project The Unwetlands. A Satellite-Based Investigation into Italy’s Lost Wetlands...
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...
