Un mecanismo genético temprano en la formación de la placenta podría explicar una grave complicación del embarazo 2026-04-07

Un equipo internacional de investigadores liderados desde el Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa, centro mixto del CSIC y la UAM, ha identificado un mecanismo molecular implicado en la preeclampsia precoz, una complicación grave del embarazo que puede poner en riesgo la salud de la madre y del bebé y que, en los casos más […]

A study reveals two radio emission modes in quasars with extreme accretion 2026-04-06

The study, co-led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), demonstrates that extreme accretion does not prevent the formation of jets and reveals that radio emission can also originate from star formation. The results, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, provide new insights for the study of the early universe. Go to Source

3I/ATLAS, observed by the JANUS camera 2026-04-02

The study, led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), analyzes the IRAS 18162–2048 region using near-infrared observations with the VLT and radio observations with the VLA and ALMA telescopes. The results reveal that IRS7, a previously little-studied source, could be more evolved than the region’s main source, responsible for the iconic HH 80–81 […]

Aftershocks at the atomic scale reshape platinum catalysts Aftershocks at the atomic scale reshape platinum catalysts 2026-04-01

When an earthquake strikes, the most visible damage is the cracks left in the ground. Yet what buildings actually feel are the aftershocks that ripple through the rock long after the initial rupture. A similar picture may apply to certain catalysts, according to new research that suggests it is not the directly visible defects in […]

The Total Solar Eclipse is the focus of a traveling exhibition that will tour the Basque Country 2026-04-01

A traveling exhibition on the total solar eclipse opens today in Zarautz, organized by Jakindari, the alliance for scientific culture promoted by the Basque Government’s Department of Science, Universities, and Research. The exhibition has benefited from the special collaboration of DIPC and Aranzadi and will tour 13 towns in Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia, and Araba over the […]

CNIC participates in COMPASS, a European project promoting the early detection and personalised treatment of cardiotoxicity in cancer patients 2026-04-01

Europe is taking a step forward in improving the cardiovascular health of cancer patients with the launch of COMPASS (Cardio-Oncology Multidisciplinary Patient Assistance Solution), an ambitious European project that leverages artificial intelligence and digital technologies to prevent and treat cardiotoxicity associated with cancer treatments.The initiative, funded by the European Union under the Innovative Health Initiative […]

An “obstructed” electronic band in a two-dimensional quantum material observed for the first time 2026-03-31

Researchers at Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) have experimentally confirmed a key theoretical concept in topology: an “obstructed” electronic band, in which the symmetry of the material shifts the electron density away from its atomic positions. The discovery published in Nature Physics is the outcome of a new methodology that combines theory with experimentation. Go […]

Understanding large localized CP violation in B±→K±π+π− using dispersive methods 2026-03-31

Image Seminar Understanding large localized CP violation in B±→K±π+π− using dispersive methods Date 06/05 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: We utilize the universality of pion–pion (ππ) final-state interactions at small invariant masses to understand their enhanced localized CP violation in B±→K±π+π−, using a dispersive approach. From a fit to the integrated CP-asymmetry […]

Neutral and charged pion Form Factors in the intermediate-energy region 2026-03-31

Image Seminar Neutral and charged pion Form Factors in the intermediate-energy region Date 29/04 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: We compute the Form Factors of both neutral and charged pion using a non-perturbative running of the strong coupling constant αs obtained using a double-dilaton Holographic QCD model. These form factors remain poorly […]

Two-neutrino ββ decay to excited states at next-to-leading order 2026-03-31

Image Internal Seminar Two-neutrino ββ decay to excited states at next-to-leading order Date 22/04 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: The study of two-neutrino double-beta decay ($2nubetabeta$), an allowed process within the Standard Model in which two neutrons convert into two protons with the emission of two electrons and two antineutrinos, provides a […]
