Join leading experts from around the world to explore cutting-edge research in nuclear physics. Explore topics from radiation, to fusion and medical physics. A four-week programme with 3-5 hours content per week. An extra two weeks at the end of course allows time to catch-up on anything you may have missed. Work at your own pace, in the classroom or at home. Live webinars with leading experts take place weekly, and recordings of these will be available after the event. Ask questions of

The University of Wuppertal mourns the passing of Professor Per Jensen, Ph.D. The man who died on June 6 at the age of 66 was a professor of theoretical chemistry at the Bergische Uni from 1994 to February 2022. Born in Denmark, he studied chemistry and physics at Aarhus University, where he also received his doctorate in 1983. He then worked as a research associate at the University of Gießen, including guest professorships in Spain and Japan. In 1994 he came to Wuppertal. His research

Researchers from the Institute of Laser Physics at Universität Hamburg have succeeded for the first time in realizing a time crystal that spontaneously breaks continuous time translation symmetry. They report their observation in a study published online by the journal Science on Thursday, 9 June, 2022. The idea of a time crystal goes back to Nobel laureate Franck Wilczek, who first proposed the phenomenon: similar to water spontaneously turning into ice around the freezing point, thereby bre

Hace unos días se abrieron las inscripciones para la nueva edición del Concurso Universitario de Software Libre, las cuales se mantendrán abiertas hasta el 31 de Agosto. En este concurso se premian a los mejores proyectos de software, hardware o documentación libre desarrollados por estudiantes de educación superior (Bachillerato, FP, Grado, Máster y Doctorado) a nivel nacional. También se admiten contribuciones a proyectos ya existentes. Los proyectos se pueden presentar de forma individual

Tras estos años de funcionamiento a medio gas , es un placer anunciaros que está abierta una nueva convocatoria del premio GEFN/ATI a las mejores tesis en Física Nuclear, organizado por el Grupo Especializado de Física Nuclear de la Real Sociedad Española de Física en colaboración con la empresa ATI Sistemas. Se trata de un premio que seleccionará las tres mejores tesis realizadas en Física Nuclear y defendidas en universidades y OPIs españolas y defendidas en el bienio comprendido entre el 1

Since 2003, the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster has been associated with sound. This is because astronomers discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster’s hot gas that could be translated into a note – one that humans cannot hear some 57 octaves below middle C. Now a new sonification brings more notes to this black hole sound machine. This new sonification – that is, the translation of astronomical data into sound – is being relea

The Euroschool is an annual event, initially funded by the EU and now supported by several funding agencies and large research facilities in Europe. For the first time, this year the Euroschool will be organized together with the International Scientific Meeting on Nuclear Physics-La Rábida. La Rábida Nuclear Physics summer school (institucional.us.es/rabida) has a long tradition with triennial editions from 1982 to 2003, organized by the University of Sevilla Nuclear Physics group and editio

In 2022 we celebrate the 40th edition of the École Joliot-Curie with a very topical and multidisciplinary subject, “Nuclear Matter under Pressure”. The general concept of pressure in nuclear matter will be used as a connecting thread between very different scales, from the nucleon to compact stars, providing a complete view of the phase diagram of dense matter. Starting from the nucleon, high-energy exclusive experiments some 20 years ago are able to probe its content in energy, angular momen
