El experimento, desarrollado en el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) e impulsado por un investigador del network del proyecto europeo UNDARK, recibe el respaldo de un comité internacional para construir un detector de nueva generación destinado a la búsqueda directa de materia oscura de alta frecuencia. El experimento DALI , liderado por Javier de Miguel, ha superado con éxito el Preliminary Design Review (PDR), una evaluación internacional que certifica la madurez científica y tecnológica del proyecto. Tras esta revisión, un comité independiente de expertos ha recomendado avanzar

As part of the program of initiatives that the IAC—in collaboration with the Palencia City Council and with the support of the Canary Islands Government, and as part of its NATE project—will carry out in Palencia to mark the total solar eclipse on August 12, people with visual impairments will be offered the opportunity to follow the event through the Inclusive Eclipse project of the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-ISIC). This option will be available at a designated location on the grounds of the Cristo del Otero monument. In this sound art space, anyone can enjoy the eclipse through sound

Ahead of the upcoming solar eclipse on August 12, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), in collaboration with the research group Predictive Science Inc. (PSI, San Diego, California), has successfully simulated in high detail the structure of the solar corona that will be visible during totality along the path of totality, including Palencia, where the IAC will gather more than 40 spanish, moroccan, and american astronomers. To process this complex three-dimensional calculation, the computing power of the supercomputing node )Supercomputador La Palma) was utilized, along with code

The course, taught by Hannah Thiel, a researcher at the Vigo Quantum Communication Center, brought Institute staff together around the foundations, applications and technological challenges of quantum communications and quantum key distribution. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) held a specialised course on quantum communications on 28 and 29 July, organised at the invitation of the Free Space Optics Communications Lab of the CELESTE project. The training, delivered by researcher Hannah Thiel, from the Vigo Quantum Communication Center at the Universidad de Vigo, took place at

Un grupo de internos del Centro Penitenciario de Tenerife visitó ayer las instalaciones del Observatorio del Teide, del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias una iniciativa que busca acercar el conocimiento científico y la Astronomía y la Astrofísica a las personas privadas de libertad. Durante el tiempo que duró la visita, 11 internos e internas, acompañados por seis profesionales de la prisión tinerfeña, recibieron una charla introductoria sobre sobre la historia del Observatorio, dependiente del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), así como sobre las características de su
