Future physics technicians triumph in "Schweizer Jugend forscht" competition - Special award for Empa apprentices

Dübendorf, St. Gallen und Thun, 16.5.2023 - An outstanding performance in the national "Schweizer Jugend forscht" competition opens up new doors. That is exactly what Sofie Gnannt and Nick Cáceres, physics lab technician apprentices at Empa's Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces Lab, have achieved. With their project "Plastic Separation with Terahertz Radiation", which was rated "outstanding", they will represent Switzerland in October at MILSET, the international young researchers' conference in Mexico.
