View from Besserstein V


Three cranes, rising out of the woods in Würenlingen. That's the new PSI project to build a free electron laser (FEL). Very creatively christened SwissFEL.

Speaking of naming things, this prefixing of "Swiss" can be taken to extremes.  And coupled with the adoption of words from English, leads to eyebrow-raising combinations. For example, SwissBroke, a consulting company for brokers.
