Researchers from the Department of Physics, together with a team formed by several European universities, carry out the first theoretical study of a Bose-Einstein condensate of a system of polar molecules

Professor Ricard González-Cinca, head of the Space Exploration Laboratory, linked to the group BIOCOM-SC at the Physics department, is participating in this pioneering experiment for the management of cryogenic fuels in space

Gerard Pascual López defended his thesis supervised by Jordi Boronat Medico on April 24, 2025, at the Campus Nord. Titled “Quantum Monte Carlo studies of impurities in Bose gases at finite temperature and in the Fermi-Hubbard model”, the thesis focuses on investigating the behavior of impurities in environments governed by many-body quantum phenomena

Carles Rubio Maturana defended on June 3, his doctoral thesis on the diagnosis of malaria and urogenital schistosomiasis using artificial intelligence tools and a low-cost robotic microscope in the Doctoral Program in Microbiology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona under the direction of doctors Joan Joseph Munné and Elisa Sayrol Clols. The thesis is part of a project funded by the World Health Organization and directed by professor Daniel Lopez Codina from the Department of Physics at the UPC.

Final degree and master's theses win the main prizes in this year's edition of the Sant Jordi Awards 2025 call

Physics plays a foundational role in engineering education, providing the essential principles that underpin nearly all areas of engineering practice—from mechanics and thermodynamics to electromagnetism and modern materials science. Teaching physics effectively within engineering degrees is crucial for developing students' problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and deep conceptual understanding necessary for innovative and practical engineering solutions
