Metrologists, who study the measurement of magnitudes, have proposed redefining the units of measurement of mass (kilogram), electric current (ampere), quantity of substance (mol) and temperature (kelvin) based on the fixed value of constants of nature, so that they can not vary more. When the IPK was created, with the idea of homologating the weight…… Continue reading The scientific battle for a kilo to always be one kilo
The Ramon Areces Foundation, jointly with the GIC Group of the Spanish Royal Physics Society, is organizing a symposium on quantum technologies that will take place on Nov. 21st and 22nd –full day and morning, respectively. The preliminary list of invited speakers is Markus Aspelmeyer, University of Vienna Immanuel Bloch, Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics Ignacio…… Continue reading Symposium on Quantum Technologies RSEF – Ramon Areces Symposium
Quantum computing passes from the arrow of time: it moves better than classical computing in information processing, since it does not need to distinguish between cause and effect. The discovery suggests that our perception of time may arise by imposing a classical explanation on the events of the quantum world. Quantum computing does not depend…… Continue reading Quantum computing passes from the arrow of time

El pasado 12 de Junio, el Director de la División Científica, D. José A. Robles y la Jefa del Área de Temperatura, Dña. Dolores del Campo, acompañados por el Profesor Miguel Angel Martín Delgado de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, visitaron las instalaciones del instituto de Óptica Cuántica e Información Cuántica (IQOQI) de la Academia de Ciencias…… Continue reading Visita de la Dirección del CEM a las instalaciones del Instituto de Óptica Cuántica e Información Cuántica (IQOQI) de la Academia de Ciencias de Austria, en Innsbruck.
They study how to program a self-repairing polymer for use in sectors such as automotive, aerospace or biomedical. The shape memory is a property of certain materials to recover their initial state after subjecting them to the programming of their form and a subsequent recovery treatment. For this type of technique, heat is usually used…… Continue reading New applications of materials capable of remembering their initial form
It has been discovered a new material in the form of sheets of atomic thickness. It’s about the antimonene. It has a structure similar to that of graphene, but instead of carbon atoms it is composed of antimony atoms. Since the two-dimensional carbon material we know today as graphene was discovered a few decades ago, new…… Continue reading New nanomaterial for energy storage
