XVII Black Holes Workshop
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! UA coverage here.
Interdisciplinary research from Gr@v
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.

Plasmas in fusion reactors are highly prone to instabilities. Edge-localized modes (ELMs) occurring at the scrape-off layer (SOL) are instabilities that are responsible for large energy losses in the plasma core and present large potential for damage to the plasma-facing components.
Carolina Benone awarded by L’Oréal/Brasilian Academy of Sciences/Unesco
Carolina Benone, former group member, within a joint Ph.D. with UFPA-Brazil, was one of the winners of the 19th edition of "For Women in Science", an initiative carried out by the L’Oréal Group in Brazil in partnership with the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) and UNESCO.
