Patient Enrolment for First-in-Human Trial of ICN2-developed Graphene Electrodes is Completed
2026-04-22
The study is evaluating graphene-based brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) in human patients, marking the world’s first clinical study to assess a graphene device in direct contact with the human nervous system. This technology, developed at ICN2, has already shown promising initial results in both safety and its ability to detect and stimulate neuronal activity. Go to […]
A menagerie of Euclidean constructions for 3D holographic cosmologies 2026-04-22Image Seminar A menagerie of Euclidean constructions for 3D holographic cosmologies Date 30/04 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a large family of solutions of Euclidean three-dimensional gravity coupled to heavy matter particles that, upon continuation to Lorentzian signature, contain a closed big-bang / big-crunch cosmology entangled with additional asymptotically […]
Combining white roofs, parks, and agriculture reduces urban heat by more than 1.2 °C 2026-04-22Mitigating heat waves and pollution in urban areas does not depend on applying a single green solution. Instead, it is necessary to strategically combine infrastructures such as urban parks and peri-urban agriculture with construction measures like white roofs, according to a research conducted by ICTA-UAB.

The director of the ICIQ defends the fundamental role of research and industrial decarbonisation in Parliament 2026-04-22Professor Emilio Palomares, director of the ICIQ, appeared today before the Energy Transition Committee of the Parliament of Catalonia as part of the proposed law on urgent measures to protect climate security. During his speech, Palomares defended that research is one of the fundamental tools to offer real solutions to the challenges of the climate […]
CNIC scientists identify a biomarker that improves risk prediction in a severe form of heart failure 2026-04-22The study shows that disease severity and poor prognosis in ATTR-CM are associated with elevated levels of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), a biomarker associated with disease severity across a broad range of conditions, including sepsis. This finding could help identify high-risk patients more precisely. The study was led by Dr. Pablo García-Pavía, leader of the Hereditary […]

Challenging Lepton Flavour Universality with rare b-baryon decays at LHCb 2026-04-21Image Thesis Defence Challenging Lepton Flavour Universality with rare b-baryon decays at LHCb Date 24/04 24/04/2026 Place Aula Eduard Fontseré, Physics Faculty Abstract: The Standard Model is the most successful theory for describing the fundamental laws of nature. Despite its outstanding success, it is known that it is not a complete theory. Consequently, the search of […]
DESI Completes Planned 3D Map of the Universe and Continues Exploring 2026-04-21Image Credits Luke Tyas/Berkeley Lab and KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA Language English Last night, the 5,000 fiber-optic eyes of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) swiveled onto a patch of sky near the Little Dipper. Roughly every 20 minutes, they locked on to distant pinpricks of light, gathering photons that had traveled toward Earth for billions of years. […]
