From 13th to 17th of February, in IACTEC, the technical collaboration zone of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, the first scientific meeting of the Laboratory for Innovation in Optomechanics (LIOM) is taking place. This is a project for the development of new optical and mechanical technology which will form part of the next generaton of telescopes, such as the ExoLife Finder (ELF), aimed at the search for life outside the Solar System. The meeting has brought together 30 specialists in optics and photonics from Europe, Canada, and the United States. During the course of this week
Dentro de las acciones de divulgación del proyecto Interreg EELabs, la madrugada del 4 de enero, el canal sky-live.tv retransmitirá la máxima actividad de la lluvia de meteoros de las Cuadrántidas desde el Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) y desde Extremadura, bajo el paraguas del proyecto Extremadura Buenas Noches. Como cada año, 2023 lo comenzaremos mirando al cielo para compartir la máxima actividad de la lluvia de las Cuadrántidas, que, junto a las Gemínidas y las Perseidas, forman parte del selecto grupo de las lluvias de meteoros más intensas del año, con una actividad que suele rozar
The Anatomical Pathology service of the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Canarias (HUC) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) are partners in the development of a computer application adapting artificial intelligence tools used in astronomy to digitised images of human tissue. The project, called “Patolog-IA”, aims to speed up the interpretation of test results and the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It is expected that it will also be useful for personalised medicine oriented to other kinds of cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer and the
