Una nueva visión de la Nebulosa del AnilloInvestigadores del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias establecen la estructura tridimensional de esta singular nebulosa planetaria de la constelación de la Lira
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
The IACTEC building, in the Las Mantecas Science and Technology Park in La Laguna, is hosting the 11th International Astronomy Education Adventure in the Canary Islands (AEACI 2026) this week. This edition forms part of the Erasmus+ Astro-Journeys project, co-funded by the European Union, in which the IAC is participating alongside eight other institutions from France, Portugal, Germany and Greece. The aim of the project is to support the professional development of teachers, enabling them to design interdisciplinary, inclusive and research-based learning experiences, using astronomy as the
El Observatorio del Teide vuelve a abrir sus puertas este fin de semana para acoger a cerca de un millar de personas con motivo de sus ya emblemáticas Jornadas de Puertas Abiertas. Organizada por el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) coincidiendo con la llegada del solsticio de verano, esta cita anual se consolida como uno de los pilares del compromiso del Instituto por compartir el conocimiento y hacer accesibles sus infraestructuras científicas a toda la ciudadanía. La iniciativa, impulsada de forma conjunta por el equipo del Observatorio y la Unidad de Comunicación y Cultura
