A Talk With Maciej Lewenstein i David Mateos
The ICREA research professors Maciej Lewenstein (ICFO-UPC) and David Mateos (ICCUB) talk about quantum physics, explaining why it has shaken up our understanding of nature and revealing which aspects of the theory are still a mystery.
Quantum physics studies subatomic reality or, in other words, the elementary particles forming atoms and the forces by means of which they interact. On such a tiny scale, matter behaves in a very different way from that which we perceive with our senses, starting from the paradoxical fact that mere observation modifies what is being observed, which contradicts the principles of basic physics.
Why does quantum physics represent a new paradigm for science? What challenges does this scientific discipline raise today? Are we close to finding a “theory for everything” that will explain how the universe works on every scale?

ADMIRA Project: Activities with Medipix Detectors to Research Radiation in the Classroom
The ADMIRA Project (Activities with Medipix Detectors to Investigate Radiation in the classroom) aims to create a network of schools around the use of Timepix Detectors designed at CERN. The objective is to bring the Institutes closer to the research done in Universities and Research Centers. A group of schools that have participated in a selection process will use these devices in their classrooms. Teacher training activities will be open to any institute teacher who is interested (with the aim of expanding the network in future editions).
On this website you can consult the objectives of the ADMIRA project, the ways of participating and the activities offered for teachers and students. You can also find the didactic orientations, skills and key contents that are intended to work.
