La directora general, quien midió hace unos años el impacto social y económico de la Gran Ciencia (Big Science), destacó el ambicioso Plan Estratégico del IAC para los próximos años. "El IAC -dijo- destaca no sólo por su producción científica, sino también por la creación de capacidades tecnológicas y de innovación". Insistió en que la ciencia que hace el IAC es con y para la sociedad y que este instituto debe contribuir a combatir la pseudociencias.

    The mystery of the fullerenes in space explained

    A pioneering study from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) which combines laboratory chemistry with astrophysics, has shown for the first time that grains of dust formed by carbon and hydrogen in a highly disordered state, known as HAC, can take part in the formation of fullerenes, carbon molecules which are of key importance for the development of life in the universe, and with potential applications in nanotechnology. The results are published as a Letter to the Editor in the prestigious journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. Fullerenes are carbon molecules which are very big
