On January 20th, 2026, the art–science exhibition was officially (re)opened at Fábrica - Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro. The event was hosted by Fábrica’s director, Pedro Pombo, and brought together the head of the Department of Mathematics, Alexandre Almeida, and the director of CIDMA, Delfim Torres, along with several colleagues. This initiative is another step in sharing the beauty of science with a broader audience, strengthening the connection between scientific research and society.
We kicked off 2026 with a get-together alongside collaborators Roman Pasechnik and Antonio Morais. A special highlight: the next generation joined in as well - future scientists already in the making!
Our understanding of the cosmos is shaped by what we are able to observe in the sky. Resolving progressively smaller astrophysical structures requires instruments with increasingly high angular resolution. However, even an ideal telescope is limited by nature through diffraction, which ties its resolving power to the diameter of its collecting aperture.
The 10th anniversary of the Portuguese Society of Relativity and Gravitation (SPRG), along with the anniversary of the first gravitational wave (GW) detection, was celebrated with a specially made cake at the XVIII Black Holes Workshop.
