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...
Eugenio Coccia, experimental physicist with expertise in astroparticle physics, focuses his research on the development of ultra-cryogenic detectors of gravitational waves, neutrinos and cosmic rays. He is director of the INFN Center for Advanced Studies “Gran Sasso Science Institute”, president of the...
Transition metal oxides are an essential material for many industrial processes. Electrodeposition, which consists in the growth of a material on a substrate through the reduction (gain of electrons) of an ion present in an electrolyte (dissolution), allows preparing...
Nanoporous materials are similar to sponges, but made out of metals or oxides. Important aplications have already been discovered in the field of chemistry. Researchers from the Department of Physics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona are working to find new environmental applications for these...
Energy Harvesting, Solar Oxides, Siterm and Fuelium were chosen from among over 200 proposals based on innovative solutions in the field of energy efficiency and energy saving.
The ALBA Synchrotron, CSIC and company Alibava have signed a license agreement for commercialising this X-ray detector, a compact and portable system for X-rays characterisation.
Kostas Kostarelos is Professor of Nanomedicine at the University of Manchester and Honorary Professor at the University College of London (UK) and is founding editor of the journal Nanomedicine. He recently advised the company PlayGen to develop a video game on nanomedicine in order to use this technology as a tool...
