Shepherd Doeleman lands at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) thanks to the JAE-Chair 2024 grant to collaborate on the development of the TEA antenna and new algorithms capable of capturing the dynamics of space-time at the edge of a black hole Go to Source
Galaxies in cosmic voids retain gas better and form stars for longer periods of time. 2026-05-25The study, led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), analyzes, with an unprecedented level of detail, how the cosmic environment influences the evolution of more than two hundred galaxies. The results suggest that galaxies located in cosmic voids better preserve their gas and maintain more active star formation, especially in their outer regions. […]
Meet our people…Jaume Seuma 2026-05-25Where would you get lost? Travelling around Southeast of Asia: Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Nepal… any of these places, I have already been lost there and they are amazing. What is the hardest thing to do? Accept the cruelty in this world, seeing how the people with the power to change things are often dedicated only […]

Science Immunology: Mitochondria control immune cell activation and the effectiveness of immunotherapy 2026-05-23A study led by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has identified a mitochondrial “checkpoint” that enables dendritic cells to efficiently activate T lymphocytes against viruses and tumors. Dendritic cells are immune cells that detect threats and activate the body’s defenses, acting as “sentinels” that instruct T lymphocytes on what to attack.The study, […]
Cycloadditions in confined molecular cages
2026-05-22
Researchers from the group of Prof. Pau Ballester at ICIQ have reported a self-assembled dynamically covalent molecular cage that promotes intermolecular azide–alkyne Huisgen cycloadditions, while showing that subtle changes in cavity size modulate the catalytic performance. The study was published in Nature Communications. The researchers found that small geometric changes in the molecular cage strongly […]

A study by Fisabio and the IN UMH-CSIC identifies alterations in a protein involved in Alzheimer’s disease development
2026-05-21
The study links reduced levels of the ADAM10 protein to processes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, which may contribute to the development of more effective therapies and earlier detection strategies. The findings have been published in the scientific journal Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy. Photo: Researchers Adriana Gea, Javier Sáez Valero and María Salud García Ayllón at […]
ICIQ brews up its largest Pint of Science line-up to date 2026-05-21Researchers from the ICIQ took part in the 2026 edition of the Pint of Science Festival in Tarragona, contributing the institute’s largest participation in recent years. Although five talks from members of the centre had initially been scheduled, the final programme featured four ICIQ researchers sharing their work with more than 600 attendees across local […]
