The workshops "Gaia: la galàxia en 3D" and "Simulacions de mecànica quàntica" will represent the Institute of Cosmos Sciences and the Department of Quantum Physics and Astrophysics of the University of Barcelona in this year's edition of the Saló de l'ensenyament celebrated from March 20 to 24 in the Fira de Montjuïc.

Ética para máquinas  a new popular science book written by the theoretical physicist  J. I. Latorre has been released by Ariel. The book seeks to cover the ethical needs of this 21st century which is characterized by the emergence of the advanced artificial intelligence, that puts into question the intellectual superiority of humans, their essence and their place in life.

J.I. Latorre, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the UB and researcher at the ICCUB, make today the debut in his brand new science section  Amb Q de Quàntic in the programme  Aquí, amb Josep Cuní from SER Catalunya Radio. In this first broadcasting J.I. Latorre talks about quantum computing with A. Cervera, PhD student at the ICCUB, and J.

The Particle Physics Workshop participates at the 1st Biennal Ciutat i Ciència to be held in Barcelona from February 7 to 11. The Biennial organises during five days 70 free dissemination activities distributed in the 10 districts of the city and aims to facilitate the dissemination of scientific knowledge made in Barcelona and strengthen its link with the citizens.

ICCUB will host a new edition of the Masterclass in Particle Physics, held at the ICCUB under the name of  Taller de Física de Partícules.  The registration for the two editions offered this year will be opened from January 22nd to 29th.

Alba Cervera participates with the talk 'Tecnología para manipular la naturaleza' on Quantum Computing research in "El País con tu futuro"  an event organised by El País which aims to help future degree students to choose their studies. Almost 50 speakers from different professional areas will be giving talks to 3600 students. "El País con tu futuro" is held on Thursday 18th and Wednesday 19th at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos de Madrid. 

Cosmology, gravitation, particle physics, atomic physics and nuclear physics are the topics to be treated in a disseminating way in the new portal of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the UB (ICCUB): ServiPartícules.

Thanks to five successful editions, the Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition that offers highschool students the chance to conduct a real experiment at a real research laboratory has become a very popular science competition that has so far motivated almost 10,000 students to learn about particle physics.

On or around October 31, 2018, the world will celebrate the historic hunt for the unseen—something that scientists refer to as dark matter. More than 110 global, regional, and local events were held on and around October 31, 2017 by institutions and individuals looking to engage the public in discussions about what we already know about dark matter and the many present as well as planned experiments seeking to solve its mysteries.

Giovanni Passaleva, the spokesperson representing the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment (LHCb) spoke with El País journal about the relevance, the latest findings and the goals of this promising research. 

The Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB) of the University of Barcelona has signed an agreement with the company Scientifica International to work together in the fields of nuclear and particle physics, space sciences and industry.

Today the ICCUB is hosting a new edition of the Masterclass in Particle Physics, held at the ICCUB under the name of Taller de Física de Partícules. A second edition of this activity will be held on 16 March. Altogether, 160 bachelor students from 149 different Catalan high schools will take a day off from school to come to the ICCUB and dive into the actual data.
