Image Seminar Ensemble Averages of Fuzzballs Date 10/02 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: I will discuss the problem of the black hole singularity and its possible solutions. I will argue that a “fuzzball picture” for two-charge, 1/4-BPS states supplants the singular black hole solution for typical states, employing an effective action approach and performing an […]
Researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences UMH–CSIC identify key genetic alterations in the brains of people with alcoholism
2026-02-09
The study, published in the journal Addiction, reveals how decades of alcohol consumption alter the activity of key genes in brain regions involved in addiction. The findings help explain vulnerability to relapse and open new avenues for the development of more targeted treatments for alcoholism.

Axel Masó Returns to CRM as a Postdoctoral Researcher
2026-02-07
Axel Masó returns to CRM as a postdoctoral researcher after a two-year stint at the Knowledge Transfer Unit. He joins the Mathematical Biology research group and KTU to work on the Neuromunt project, an interdisciplinary initiative that studies physiological responses to mountain risks. Axel Masó completed his PhD in physics at the Universitat Autònoma de […]
Flow Geometry Microstates: Towards a Microscopic Description of de Sitter Entropy 2026-02-06Image Seminar Flow Geometry Microstates: Towards a Microscopic Description of de Sitter Entropy Date 12/02 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: The origin of de Sitter entropy is more enigmatic than that of black holes, presenting a fundamental challenge to quantum gravity. While the Gibbons-Hawking formula suggests a statistical interpretation, a concrete construction of the accessible […]
Neural quantum states for strongly correlated fermions 2026-02-06Image Seminar Neural quantum states for strongly correlated fermions Date 09/02 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: Strongly correlated quantum systems pose a central challenge across nuclear, atomic, and condensed-matter physics: their collective behavior emerges from interactions that are too strong and complex for mean-field or perturbative approaches, and their many-body wave functions […]
The IAA-CSIC presents a mathematical solution to a problem that has been open for decades in the study of exoplanets 2026-02-06For more than 30 years, the scientific community only had simplified approximations, as the full problem was considered too complex to be solved exactly. The work, developed by IAA-CSIC researcher Leonardos Gkouvelis, provides a much more realistic theoretical basis for analyzing current data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Go to Source
Could a Mussel-Inspired Adhesive Patch Help Treat Brain Tumours?
2026-02-06
A team of researchers from ICN2, the UAB and Bellvitge University Hospital has developed an adhesive membrane capable of killing up to 90% of cancer cells in laboratory models of glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive type of brain tumour. These findings pave the way for future studies in patients to assess its potential use in clinical […]
EHJP: Beta-blockers provide no benefit after myocardial infarction, either in the acute or chronic phase 2026-02-06For more than four decades, beta-blockers have been a cornerstone of treatment after myocardial infarction. While early clinical trials demonstrated substantial benefits, those studies were conducted in an era before widespread reperfusion, modern antithrombotic therapy, and high-intensity lipid lowering. Recent contemporary randomized trials and meta-analyses have shown that, in patients who experience a myocardial infarction […]
Una nueva estrategia experimental recurre a la edición génica para combatir tumores con demasiados oncogenes
2026-02-05
La aparición y agresividad del cáncer está relacionada con el comportamiento anómalo de ciertos genes, que se conocen como oncogenes. La alteración más conocida es la mutación, pero no es la única. A veces, dentro de una célula aparece un número muy elevado de copias del oncogén–decenas e incluso centenares–. Esta amplificación de oncogenes ocurre […]

El CIMCYC celebra el Día de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia con diversas actividades divulgativas
2026-02-05
Cada 11 de febrero, la comunidad científica internacional conmemora el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia. Esta efeméride subraya la necesidad de eliminar las brechas de género y poner en valor las aportaciones (históricas y actuales) de las mujeres a la generación de conocimiento. El Centro de Investigación Mente, Cerebro y Comportamiento […]
