On the 13th of September a group of secondary school teachers, students and scientists from the University of Barcelona and CERN gathered for a workshop to inaugurate the academic year 2024-2025 of the ADMIRA initiative. The ADMIRA initiative is an activity with the objective to bring state of the art hybrid pixel detectors developed by the Medipix collaborations to secondary school classes.

Two projects with the participation of members of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have been awarded at the IX Outreach Contest of the CPAN (National Center for Particle, Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics).

The LHCb Collaboration has recently presented new results that could bring us a step closer to understanding the different nature of matter and antimatter at a fundamental level and solve one of the longest-standing cosmological questions: Why is the Universe mainly made of matter?

The ADMIRA project published yesterday, January 19, its first scientific paper “ADMIRA Project: teaching particle physics at high school with Timepix detectors” on the Physics Education IOP  journal.

The programme Arts at CERN opened last Thursday, October 7, the call to participate in the Collide residency project to foster the d

Two students of the Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology masters of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the UB have been awarded the

The first training day of the course Activities with Medipix detectors to investigate Radiation in the classroom, (ADMIRA project) took place on the past Friday, January 10, at the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Physics.

At the end of the First World War, physicist Ernest Rutherford carried out a series of experiments consisting on bombing nitrogen atoms with alpha particles. He saw the appearance of a radiation which was less ionizing than those particles and with a greater range.

The 5th Science Festival of the University of Barcelona, to be held on Friday May 17 during the morning at the Historical Building, comes with many new activities.

The festival aims to make research carried at the University accessible to everyone, in a fun and innovative way. Therefore, throughout the day, UB - organize outreach activities, workshops, talks and games that will value the work of researchers from all fields of knowledge.
