The Physics Section
The Physics Section at the University of Geneva provides a lively environment where students, lecturers and researchers meet on a daily basis and work closely together.
The level of research and teaching in the Physics Section is excellent, and is highly competitive in Switzerland, Europe and across the world. UNIGE is currently in 69th position worldwide (out of 20,000) in the University of Shanghai’s classification (2013), and the Faculty of Science as a standalone is ranked in 31st place. Thanks to the outstanding quality of research at world level, the university offers a highly international and open environment, where the atmosphere is conducive to discussion and debate and generating innovative ideas.
The teaching programmes run by the Physics Section offer a comprehensive range of specialisations, with a particular focus on new applications of fundamental physics.

Fermi arcs in the type-II Weyl semimental candidates WTe2 and MoTe2 investigated by laser-based ARPES
Weyl semimetals are commonly identified by detecting surface states forming characteristic Fermi arcs in angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments. However, in type-II Weyl semimetals the Fermi arcs generally disappear in the bulk carrier pockets…

Cosmology with interaction in the dark sector of the Universe
According to our understanding of the universe, dark matter and dark energy are the dominant components in the dynamics of the current universe, while baryons and radiation contribute only a small fraction of less than $5\%$ of the cosmic energy. Although…

Experiments on antimatter at CERN
One and a half decades after the first production of “cold” antihydrogen, first precision measurements of the properties of antihydrogen have recently begun. Together with the start-up of an additional dedicated low energy antiproton decelerator (ELENA),…
