A new study from the Grup d'Informació Quàntica (GIQ) at the Department of Physics of the UAB, together with collaborators from Wien and Geneva, have shown that quantum mechanics establishes a fundamental limit to how fast physical systems can reach thermal...
A recent study has investigated the main pollutant pathways entering the Mar Menor’s lagoon, focusing on submarine groundwater discharge, to conclude that the recirculation of saline water and porewater...
A study conducted by the Department of Physics suggests a change in how special relativity is approached and does so in a way that does not depend on the constancy of the speed of light, but on causality and the geometry of space. From a pedagogical standpoint, the author argues that this...
Blanca Pujals, architect and researcher of the spaces and infrastructures of science, participated this past 4 February in the seminar “Images as thought: Dialogue between art, science,...
Hidden inside a shipping container on the UAB Campus, the Barcelona Raman LIDAR is a laser system developed to measure the atmosphere and support the telescope array network of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory. The UAB...
In an accelerating expanding universe, where galaxies are separating more and more rapidly, are the laws of physics valid beyond the solar system or our galaxy? With observational data from different moments of the universe's expansion, the Department of Physics has...
A new study from reveals that the evolution of the universe is more mysterious than previously thought. Using the second law of thermodynamics and observational data, researchers from the Department of Physics have explored the spatial curvature of the...
Diego Blas, distinguished researcher "Beatriz Galindo" from the UAB Department of Physics and IFAE proposes to use the small deviations of the orbits of binary systems, such as the Earth and the Moon, as a natural detector of gravitational waves. This would measure a...
A collaboration between researchers from the UAB Department of Physics and the ICFO has resulted in a significant advance towards the quantum simulation of the Chern-Simons gauge theory, which explains the fractional Hall effect, one...
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...
