The following article appeared in the ERC Newsletter on 26 October 2018. It is about the project #LasCientíficasCuentan, which explalins complex science through the voice of fifteen female ERC grantees in Spain. From ICMAB, Teresa Puig and Marta Mas-Torrent participated in the project, funded by the FECYT and the FGCSIC. They give talks, participate in roundtables, and appear in some videos explaining their research!
On Thursday 11 October 2018, the programme “Els Matins de TV3”, directed by Lídia Heredia, interviewed researcher Teresa Puig about the superconducting materials, in their section devoted to science, and presented by Daniel Arbós. The section, of more than 18 minutes long, explains what superconducting materials are, what are their main applications, and shows the levitation experiment.
Enjoy the view!

On Monday, 24 September, this article appeared in the printed version in the newspaper “El Periódico”, both in the Spanish and Catalan version. The article is written by the journalist Valentina Raffio, and features our SUMAN researcher, Teresa Puig, in the framework of the project #LasCientíficasCuentan, an initiative by CSIC-Brussels and funded by the FECYT. We transcribe here the text.
Watch here the video of the ULTRASUPERTAPE project, the ERC Advanced Grant project awarded to Teresa Puig, explained here in plain words for everyone to understand!
The project “Las Científicas Cuentan” is an initiative of the CSIC Delegation in Brussels financed by the FECYT. The aim of the project is to bring basic science to the general public, through the story of women scientists who have been awarded with a ERC project during the past years. From SUMAN, Teresa Puig (ERC-Advanced Grant) participate in the project.
Prof. Teresa Puig was invited to give a talk on superconducting materials at “Dissabtes de la Física” at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. More than 100 secondary school students listened to her talk, and then experienced the levitating phenomena with some members of her team
Starting on 3 February, 2018, and during 5 consecutive Saturdays, the Faculty of Sciences of the UAB will host the XVIII Edition of the “Dissabtes de la Física” (Saturdays of Physics). An initiative of the Department of Physics, whose main objective is to bring physics and science to pre-university young students, and motivate them to know the world that surrounds us in a rigorous and, at the same time, comprehensible way.
¡Hola!
My name is Max and I am a material scientist from Dresden, Germany. I will continue my work on superconducting tapes as PostDoc in the ULTRASUPERTAPE project under the supervision of Prof. Teresa Puig and I look forward to learn from and collaborate with you!
Also I like sports (running, riding bike and Judo) and travelling sunny countries ;)
You can find him at 1.32 office, next to Mariona Coll!
Our tenured scientist, Susagna Ricart, and our PhD students, Laia, Júlia, Ferran, Artur and Juri, have participated at EXPOMINER BARCELONA MARKET (Show of mineral, fossils and jewelry) during last weekend (VIDEO 1)
