Superconductor Week talks with Teresa Puig about new improved growth process for YBCO epitaxial films
Teresa Puig appears on the 34th volume of Superconductor Week, a monthly newsletter dedicated to bringing news and analysis about superconductivity to all related parties, from scientists to investors in the industry. Their latest issue covers the breakthrough achieved by the Superconducting Materials Research Group (SUMAN) in the field of growth of YBCO epitaxial films, which was already covered in Nature Communications 11, 334 (2020).
11F: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
To celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science SUMAN researchers have partipate in differents actions organized by ICMAB and 11F.
Breakthrough in the ultrafast growth of superconducting films with high performances (PRESS REALISE)
- The new low-cost, environmentally friendly and scalable method, designed by ICMAB-CSIC researchers, represents a breakthrough in the production of superconducting materials
- A transient liquid phase is formed with the new precursors, from which the superconducting films grow at speeds of 100 nm/s
- This method is fully compatible with the incorporation of nanoparticles into the superconductor structure, essential for high magnetic field applications in wind generators, electric aviation or particle accelerators
ICMAB, 3 DEC 2019: European Research Council (ERC) funding opportunities – a 360° overview
On Tuesday, 3 December 2019, the ICMAB organizes an event to talk and share experirences on ERC projects called “European Research Council (ERC) funding opportunities – a 360° overview”. The event will count with the presence of Nadine Vermorel, from the ERC Executive Agency (ERCEA) and with Lucía Benito, from the CSIC European Program. Five of the ICMAB ERC grantees will talk about their ERC experience from their own point of view. Come and join us, if you want to know more about funding opportunities for these ERC excellent projects!
Congratulations Dr. Silvia Rasi, a new SUMAN graduate!
Dr. Silvia Rasi, former PhD researcher under the supervision of Prof. Jordi Farjas and Prof. Teresa Puig defended her PhD thesis entitled Advanced thermal analysis of ReBCO superconductor precursor films and functional oxides publicly on 12 November 2019 at the Superior Politechnic School Auditorium of University of Girona.
SUMAN group at EUCAS 2019 congress
Last week, a big part of SUMAN group went to Glasgow to attend to the 14th European Conference on Applied Superconductivity (EUCAS2019) hold at SEC between 1st-5th September 2019 and they presented our last results in superconductivity research.
Teresa Puig in “Hablando con Científicos” radio programme talking about her new ERC PoC on superconductors
Teresa Puig was interviewed in the digital radio programme “Hablando con Científicos” by Ángel Rodríguez Lozano, to talk about superconducting materials and her recent ERC Proof of Concept Grant on the scale-up production of high-temperature superconducting tapes.
Teresa Puig receives one ERC Proof of Concept Grant for enabling high-temperature superconducting technologies
Teresa Puig is among the awardees for a project to scale-up a new manufacturing process of high-temperature superconductors.
The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded top-funding totalling 9.3 M€ to 62 ERC grant holders via its Proof of Concept Grants. They are meant to explore the commercial or societal potential of their research.
Levitation demo to visitant students
This morning, our researchers have performed some levitating experiments for our visitant students during this July .
