The XVII black holes workshop took place at the University of Aveiro, from 19-20 December 2024. Over 70 participants got involved into two intense days of seminars and discussions on this growing and fascinating research topic. See you all in Lisbon in 2025!
Gr@v co-authored the article in the journal Computers in Biology and Medicine, with title “Next-generation chemotherapy treatments based on black hole algorithms: From cancer remission to chronic disease management”. This is an interdisciplinary research applying ideas from black hole physics to create a new methodology in chemotherapy treatments. See here the UA coverage.
Three Gr@v members appear in the 2024 updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators, commonly known as the Stanford University ranking of top 2% scientists in the world. The top 100 scientists in Portugal, from the same raking, features one CIDMA and Gr@v researcher.
The stimulating "Black Holes Inside and Out" meeting took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August 2024. C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers. More info here.
The 11th School on Astrophysics and Gravitation will take place at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, from 1-6 September 2023. C. Herdeiro and M. Zilhão are two of the lecturers. More info here.
The next decade will see an overwhelming number of cosmological surveys coming online. The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will, among several other science cases, map the distribution of cold neutral Hydrogen in the Universe using its spin-flip transition emission line at rest of 21cm or 1.4GHz and a novel technique called Intensity Mapping (IM).
Our group visited Colégio de Lamas, in Santa Maria da Feira, to explain basic concepts about Earth and Space. Inevitably, the questions end up discussing black holes!
Prof. Humberto Campins came to the University of Aveiro to talk about asteroids at the outreach centre "Fábrica Centro de Ciência Viva". Gr@v member M. ZIlhão was one of the hosts, opening the session.
