Visualizing Math and Physics with Python
Former Gr@v member Raimon Luna developed a project to visualize many mathematical and physical concepts through images and animations fully generated by short Python scripts.
Each picture is supposed to introduce a different idea in mathematics or physics in a visually appealing way, without the use of any text or numbers. For those of us who tend to have a visual understanding of these abstract topics, including the author, the pictures can be a nice way to get a different intuition on them.

NewFunFiCO meeting in Frankfurt
"The extreme gravity of astrophysical compact objects", a workshop integrated in the NewFunFiCO network took place in Frankfurt in June 2026. A great atmosphere, a variety of interesting science and lively discussions made a great event. The photo was taken in the rooftop of the venue, the historical building where the Stern-Gerlach experiment was conducted in 1922.
Visits Maryem Jemri and Justin Feng
In April 2026 we received the visits of Maryem Jemri (Rabat) and Justin Feng (Prague). Thank you for your seminars and the great scientific interactions!
Visits Yasha Shnir and Mario Navarro
Gr@v is hosting the visits of Yasha Shnir, long time group collaborator, under an FCT mobility grant, and Mario Luciano Navarro, Ph.D. student from Valencia in the spring 2026. In the photo Yasha and Mario enjoy a bit of sunshine after the weekly group lunch.
