    A study reveals the strongest evidence to date of a magnetic field on an exoplanet
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is taking part in an international study, published in the journal "Science", which provides the first conclusive evidence of a planet’s influence on the behaviour of its star. The results have made it possible to detect and estimate the strength of the magnetic field of the exoplanet GJ 436 b, opening up a new avenue for studying the habitability of planets outside the Solar System. Magnetic fields play a fundamental role in the habitability of planets. On Earth, the magnetic field acts as a shield against the solar wind and contributes to the

    El Gobierno de España y el BEI, dispuestos a movilizar hasta 1.000 millones de euros para construir en La Palma el Telescopio de Treinta Metros (TMT)
    El Gobierno de España y el Banco Europeo de Inversiones (BEI) han diseñado un marco financiero que permitiría movilizar recursos para la construcción del Telescopio de Treinta Metros (TMT) si el consorcio internacional elige La Palma como sede. La propuesta amplía el compromiso anunciado hace un año por la ministra de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Diana Morant, que contemplaba una aportación pública de 400 millones de euros a través del Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación (CDTI). El esquema financiero podría llegar a contar con la participación del BEI y del

    IAC Hosts Final COST NanoSpace Scientific Meeting in Tenerife on Carbon Nanomaterials in Space
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) will host the Final COST NanoSpace Joint Scientific Meeting (CA21126) from 15 to 17 September (at the IACTEC facilities). The international meeting will bring together researchers and innovators from different disciplines to study carbon-based molecular nanostructures in space and explore their potential applications. The COST Action NanoSpace brings together researchers from 67 countries, along with several industrial partners. It promotes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing our understanding of the physics and chemistry of carbon
