The public-private initiative will aim to attract projects from leading companies in this sector, train and attract specialized talent, promote research and innovation and connect the local ecosystem to the world.

The Minister for Science and Innovation, Diana Morant, presented today at the UAB Faculty of Sciences the Complementary Plan for Astrophysics and High Energy Physics, which will be coordinated by the IFAE.

The 22nd edition of the congress will take place from June 12 to 16, 2023 at Casa Convalescència and will serve to present and debate the current and future solutions of computational nanotechnology in the simulation of nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanodevices. It is an eminently interdisciplinary field that involves areas such as electronics, engineering, physics, applied mathematics, chemistry and biology. The deadline to submit work and participate is now open.

Diego Blas Temiño, researcher at the UAB Department of Physics and at the IFAE, has been awarded the Buchalter Prize in Cosmology for his research on gravitational waves.

The programme, coordinated by the ICFO, aims to develop technologies for the future quantum internet. In addition to the UAB, the IFAE, the ICN2, the UB and the UPC are participating in the programme.

UAB researchers have developed a magnetic material capable of imitating the way the brain stores information. The material makes it possible to emulate the synapses of neurons and mimic, for the first time, the learning that occurs during deep sleep.

Scientists from the Physics Department of the UAB and CERES have developed a new concept of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) that allows more precise measurement of the distance at which different components of the atmosphere are found. The new tool can improve the study of the gamma rays of the Universe by the MAGIC telescopes from the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory

Groundwaters circulating through the subsoil as a result of the melting permafrost can transport carbon dioxide and methane—gases with a strong greenhouse effect—to Arctic lakes, and this increases the effects of climate change. This process of transporting gases to the lakes, which culminates with their emission into the atmosphere, is now quantified for the first time in a paper co-authored by the UAB and published in the journal Nature Communications.
