    The William Herschel telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory discovers a mysterious iron “bar” in the Ring Nebula
    Research carried out with the new WEAVE spectrograph, installed on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma), and in whose construction the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has participated, has found a mysterious bar-shaped cloud of iron inside the iconic Ring Nebula. The study was conducted by a European team led by astronomers at University College London (UCL) and Cardiff University, and includes researchers from the IAC. The cloud of iron atoms, described for the first time in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

    From studying the universe to neuroimaging: a cosmology technique allows us to “listen” to the structure of the human brain
    A multidisciplinary team of astrophysicists, neuroscientists, engineers, and musicians has unveiled a pioneering method to “listen” to the structure of the human brain. Published in Nature Scientific Reports , the study presents the first higher-order sonification applied to structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. This technique involves transforming three-dimensional information about the brain into sound, taking into account the spatial relationships and complex structure of the data. To do this, mathematical tools originally developed to study the large-scale structure of the
