Maurizio Panniello, investigador del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), pronunciará la conferencia titulada “"¿Derechos sobre la Ciencia? o de cómo vender vino sin botella", mañana viernes, 26 de enero, a las 19:30h, en el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, perteneciente al Organismo Autónomo de Museos y Centros del Cabildo de Tenerife.

Esta conferencia tratará de los derechos sobre la Ciencia, entendida ésta en un sentido amplio que incluye no sólo aplicaciones, sino también otros resultados, ideas, y las publicaciones. Tras una introducción histórica sobre los derechos de autor y las patentes, se hablará del cambio de paradigma que ha supuesto la llegada de la red global, y de los movimientos para la liberación de la cultura en los distintos sectores. También se tratará a continuación el llamado "copyleft" (en oposición al "copyright") aplicado al software libre, música y cine, e incluso a las publicaciones científicas, para terminar con una revisión a las patentes de software, medicamentos o descubrimientos de la Genética.

    Press release
    Researchers from the IAC have discovered that dark matter experiences forces beyond gravity
    The existence of dark matter is likely one of the most perplexing problems facing the scientific community, and unraveling its nature has become one of the primary goals of modern physics. In simple terms, we do not know what dark matter is made of, despite accounting for 85% of all the matter in the Universe. A study led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias concludes that dark matter does not behave as described by the dominant paradigm, which states that dark matter particles only interact with each other and with ordinary matter through gravity. The IAC study reveals that dark

    The agreement for the construction of the ANDES instrument on the ELT is signed
    The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has signed an agreement with an international consortium of institutions, including the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA) and the Centro de Astrobiología de Madrid (CSIC-INTA), for the design and construction of ANDES, the ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph. The instrument will be installed on ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It will be used to search for signs of life in exoplanets and look for the very first stars, as well as to test variations of the fundamental constants of

  • Central region of the old galaxy NGC 1386 where thousands of stars are forming into star clusters
    Press release
    Regions where extremely young stars are forming have been found in very old galaxies
    An international study led by Almudena Prieto, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has found places where new stars are forming, as faint star clusters, around the centre of an evolved galaxy. This is the first time that young populations of stars have been picked out and dated in this type of galaxies dominated by very old stars, which can be called “rejuvenated old galaxies”. The research has combined observations from various telescopes, both ground based and space based, and has used innovative techniques of data analysis. The results are published in the
