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...
Professor of Physics at the University of Pisa, Tonelli served as spokesperson of the CMS experiment at CERN, one of the two large international scientific collaborations, together with ATLAS, searching for experimental proof of the existence of the Higgs boson.
Interview with Italian physicist Guido Tonelli, one of the persons responsible for the discovery of the Higgs boson, on his visit to the UAB to give a conference at the Faculty of Sciences. Professor of Physics at the University of Pisa,...
Dark matter and dark energy, in case they exist, would contribute to 96% of the universe's total energy, but no one knows their authentic nature and even less, how they interact. Lecturer of the Department of Physics Diego Pavon recently published, alongside other authors, a review ...
The most precise description of Nature at the most elemental level is the Standard Model. However, it does leave some relevant questions unanswered. To answer them, physicists pose an even more fundamental theory, generically known as New Physics, which requires observable consequences in order to...
