The artist Lydia Ourahmane presents the exhibition “108 days” at the MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona), in which every day different people and groups present their thoughts, work, experiences, etc. One of the days is dedicated to Cosmology.

From February 10 and for 5 Saturdays, the Faculty of Sciences will host the 24rd Physics Saturdays. An initiative of the Department of Physics whose main objective is to bring physics and science closer to young pre-university students and motivate them to learn about the world around us in a rigorous and, at the same time, understandable way.

Once again, and on the occasion of the Nobel Prizes awarded in 2022, the Faculties of Sciences and Biosciences are celebrating the "Talks around Science". The event will take place next December 13 at 1:00 p.m. in the "Sala d'Actes" of the Faculties of Biosciences and Sciences.

As time passes, glass restructures itself towards more stable configurations which can affect its properties. Given that glass has numerous practical applications, knowing how this transition takes place is highly relevant. Researchers from the UAB Department of Physics and from the ICN2 explain how they studied the details of glass transition and observed how the restructuring of glass when turning into liquid is not always a homogeneous process, depending more on the temperature instead of the initial stability of the glass

Dr. Josep Enric Llebot Rabagliati, will give the conference Some questions about the climate and its changes, on November 7, the Saint Albert's day, patron of the Faculties of Sciences and Biosciences.

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

The Institute of Physics of Altes Energies (IFAE), at the UAB, is the coordinating institution of the Horizon Europe INFRA-DEV ET-PP project, aimed at building a European gravitational wave observatory. The project will last 4 years with a total budget of 3.45 million euros and is made up of leading research centers from 11 countries.

Researchers at ICFO and UAB, in Barcelona, use the coldest systems in the universe to realize in the laboratory gauge theories, key models of modern physics that describe the fundamental forces of Nature and the behavior of complex quantum materials.
