Experimental method measures quantum coherence

Researchers at the UAB have come up with a method that allows measuring the strength of the coherence of superposition in any given quantum state, similar to the famous Schrödinger's cat, which was simultaneously dead and alive. The method is based on the measurement of experimental parameters related to the visibility of interference fringes pattern produced when the two states are superimposed.

Desenvolupen un nanogenerador que permet estimular cèl·lules vives

Nanogenerator developed to stimulate living cells

Researchers from the UAB and CSIC have shown that the use of piezoelectric nanogenerators to stimulate living cells electrically is possible. The nanogenerator developed is extremely small and does not need any external power source, two characteristics no one had achieved before.

A score of 13.352 in Physics+Mathematics is once again the highest entrance mark in Catalonia

The cut-off marks corresponding to the first enrolment period for the 2017/2018 academic year confirm the great demand for UAB undergraduate courses. The UAB's joint bachelor's degree in Physics+Mathematics is once again the one with the highest cut-off mark in Catalonia (13.352), while 22 other bachelor's degrees have cut-off marks above 10.
