Historian of Science and Medicina at Yale University, she has published three books, the latest one entitled Climate in Motion: Science, Empire, and the Problem of Scale (Chicago, 2018). Deborah Coen investigates the culture of science of the past and its connection with other intellectual and politica spheres, as well as...
"Magnetic charges do not exist in nature in the form of elementary particles (free and in a vacuum)". This is one of most deeply rooted dogmas of physics. Several research groups have tried, unsuccessfully, to prove it wrong by publishing papers about the need for the existence...
The magnetic manipulation through electric fields is one of the most promising approaches to reduce energy consumption of our society. Researchers from the department of physics at the UAB jointly...
Matteo Rosati, from the Grup d'Informació Quàntica, has computed upper bounds on the maximum quantum information that can be transmitted through space. The research, recently published in Nature Communications, allows to evaluate the...
MEDIRAD is a European Commission-funded project that aims to enhance the radiation protection of patients and medical professionals against exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation for medical reasons. This multidisciplinary project will bring together...
Even with quantum computers, it takes an unrealistically long time for quantum randomness to be generated, and it is too expensive. However, physicists can instead use an approximate version of it known as...
Researchers from the Department of Physics explore a series of transformations in quantum states occurring outside the linear world which only need a source of non-Gaussian states and simple linear operations. This framework may have an effect on future...
Salvador Pané, researcher at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems of the ETH Zurich, is the Chair of the European COST e-MINDS Action....
Some of the memories currently used in electronic devices are based on ferroelectric insulating materials that permit non-volatile storing of information. However, they contain toxic oxides, such as lead-compounds. Researchers from the ICMAB-CSIC have replaced these...
A joint research conducted by the UAB, ICMAB, ICN2 and ALBA Light Synchrotron reveals the possibility, under certain conditions, to manipulate magnetization in a very effective manner through electric fields in structures combining magnetic and piezoelectric materials. This...
