Novel approaches in the study of (mock) gravitational interactions
10/24/2019The origin of long-range attractive interactions has fascinated scientists for centuries. The remarkable Fatio de Duillier–LeSage corpuscular theory, introduced as early as 1690 and generalized to electromagnetic waves by Lorentz, proposed that, due to their mutual shadowing,...
Generation of Melodies for the Lost Chant of the Mozarabic Rite
10/15/2019In the Iberian Peninsula and Southern France the Mozarabic rite, with its own tradition of chant, was dominant from the sixth until the eleventh century. Most of these chants were only preserved in so called “neumatic” notation, which indicates the melodic contours but not the...
This is the way nature benefits us and the way climate change will affect us
10/11/2019Being able to rely on scientific evidence and tools to manage forecasts is a key factor to improving the status of nature on the planet and to protecting and using ecosystems sustainably, so vital for modern-day and future societies. For a long time, the scientific community...
Progress in the enabling of THz technology for matter manipulation
10/02/2019In this review, published in Physics Reports and in which the Ikerbasque Researcher from DIPC Alexey Nikitin took part, they analyze known studies dealing with the transformation, control and engineering with strong-field few-cycle THz light and outline some anticipated new results....
New methodology to produce double‐walled carbon nanotubes
08/21/2019The group at POLYMAT lead by the Ikerbasque researcher Koke Mateo in an international collaboration has reported a wall-selective synthetic methodology to produce double-walled carbon nanotubes. Such coaxial carbon nanotubes have been prepared in two steps by subliming a nitrogen-rich polycyclic...
