Based in the Materials Physics Center in Donostia San Sebastián, we are focused on the use and development of neutron-based and computation techniques to improve our knowledge of energy materials


Umbertoluca gave a seminar titled “High-pressure neutron scattering to study plastic phases” at CFM, as part of the ongoing Neutron Scattering Series.

Tom, Sara and Pablo participated in the Science week fair, aimed to all publics. Tom and Sara demonstrated natural phenomena using simple tools and common items, such as non-newtonian liquids using cornstarch suspensions. Pablo participated in the “Escala tu mundo” (scale your world) workshop, where kids familiarised with the use of microscopes to understand their world.

In Bilbao, Tom participate in the event “Naukas Kids - Escala tu mundo” (Scale your world) where demonstrations of different physics effects where shown to little kids using samples of different sizes from macroscopic to quantum.

Sara and Tom participated in the DIPC’s and CFM’s School Visits Program. Visits were offered in face-to-face, allowing the students to directly interact with researchers in each session.
The visits included a brief introduction to materials science, nanoscience and research environment, followed by in-situ visits to the supercomputation facilities at DIPC and the labs at CFM.
