First wireless device to make magnetism appear in non-magnetic materials
Researchers from the UAB and ICMAB have managed to take wireless technology to the fundamental level of magnetic devices. The appearance and control of magnetic properties in layers of cobalt nitride (initially non-magnetic) by means of voltage, without connecting the sample to electrical wiring, published in Nature Communications, represents a paradigm shift that can facilitate the creation of magnetic nanorobots for the biomedicine and computer systems where basic information management processes do not require wiring.
First nanoscale direct observation of how glass transforms into liquid at increasing temperature
Researchers from the UAB and the ICN2 have developed a methodology that makes it possible for the first time to observe under the microscope, in real time, what happens when glass is heated and changes to a supercooled liquid phase, known as the "glass transition". The research, published in Nature Physics, is of great importance for the cryopreservation of proteins, cells and living tissues, for the manufacture of drugs and electronic devices, and for tissue engineering, where this glass-to-liquid transition plays a key role.
The Euclid telescope takes off to explore the dark universe
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaborarion with the Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE), the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC), and the Scientific Information Port (PIC), all located on the UAB campus, has launched the Euclid telescope into space. The Euclid mission will provide information on dark energy and dark matter.
UAB participates in the Semiconductor and Chip Alliance of Catalonia promoted by the Government of Catalonia
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.
Minister Morant presents the Complementary Plan for Astrophysics and High Energy Physics at the UAB
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 UAB organizes the International Workshop on Computational Nanotechnology
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.
Researcher Diego Blas receives the Buchalter Prize in Cosmology
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.
Research programme in quantum communications begins with the involvement of the UAB
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.
Researchers develop a material that mimics how the brain stores information
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.
A new instrument to improve the study of the gamma rays of the Universe
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
