The IAC gave a welcome today, at the installations of its Headquarters in La Laguna, and at the Teide Observatory (Izaña, Tenerife) to the 1997 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Claude Cohen-Taddoudji. His visit took place because of the participation of this eminent scientist in the XI Conference of Physics students, celebrate in the University of La Laguna during15th and 16th March.

As he toured the IAC premises Rafael Rebolo, the Director, gave him information about the various fields of researcj at the Institute, about the astrophysical instruments which are being produced here, and about the science carried out with the telescopes at the observatories in Tenerife and La Palma. Subsequently he signed the book of honour of the IAC.

    Euclid release its first images: the dazzling edge of darkness
    ESA’s Euclid space mission reveals its first full-colour images of the cosmos. Never before has a telescope been able to create such razor-sharp astronomical images across such a large patch of the sky, and looking so far into the distant Universe. These images illustrate the telescope's potential to create the largest and most accurate 3D map of the Universe to date. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has led one of the first five Euclid Early Release Objects (ERO) programmes. 95% of our cosmos appears to be made of these mysterious ‘dark’ entities But we don’t understand what

    Researchers from the IAC have discovered that dark matter experiences forces beyond gravity
    The existence of dark matter is likely one of the most perplexing problems facing the scientific community, and unraveling its nature has become one of the primary goals of modern physics. In simple terms, we do not know what dark matter is made of, despite accounting for 85% of all the matter in the Universe. A study led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias concludes that dark matter does not behave as described by the dominant paradigm, which states that dark matter particles only interact with each other and with ordinary matter through gravity. The IAC study reveals that dark
