New advances in understanding glass-to-liquid transition
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
Poetry, science, theatre and dance fuse together in a performance about David Jou's poetic universe
The UAB Theatre hosts the show "From chaos to ecstasy", an artistic reflection by David Jou, a former physics professor at the UAB, that explains the complementarity and the connection between the different ways of knowledge (mythical, religious, scientific and artistic) to explain how our universe works.
"Some questions about the climate and its changes"
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.
Eugenio Coccia named new director of the IFAE
The Governing Board of the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) recently appointed Professor Eugenio Coccia as new director of the institute, effective on 15 November 2022.
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
Melting permafrost increases the emission of greenhouse gases in Arctic lakes
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.
IFAE leads an international project to pave the way for the Einstein telescope
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.
Ultracold atoms dressed by light simulate gauge theories
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.
Decease of researcher Jordi Garcia Orellana
We deeply regret to inform of the death on Tuesday 5 July of Jordi García Orellana, researcher and secretary at ICTA-UAB, and associate professor of the Department of Physics at the UAB.
