Next Sunday 27th October, we invite you to discover the Canfranc Underground Laboratory with activities for the whole family. Free entry! Enjoy: · Museum Room visits · Experimental Workshops · Workshops for Kids We look forward to seeing you from 11 am to 2 pm! Don't miss it!

After 6 months at the LSC, the first experiment with Sphaeroforma arctica, a single-celled organism related to animals, has been completed. The objective of this group is to study the origin of multicellularity, and for this purpose, the growth and morphology of both above and underground cultures have been evaluated. In the next phases, genetic analysis of frozen samples will be carried out to deepen our findings. We continue to make progress!

Pipo Bayo and Beatriz Hernández reunited with the students who participated in the 1st LSC Scientific Classroom for ESO students in 2023. The event took place on October 3rd at IES Elisa y Luis Villamil in Vegadeo (Asturias). During the session, they gave a talk on the origin of matter in the Universe and led a hands-on activity on natural radiation.

The Low Radioactivity Techniques (LRT2024) workshop was held in Krakow (Poland) from 1 to 4 October. The aim of this workshop is to present and discuss low-radioactivity techniques and materials that are fundamental for rare-event experiments. Our colleagues Laura Cid and Silvia Borjabad presented the latest developments and results of the ‘Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)’ and ‘Copper Electroforming’ services of the LSC.

The LSC has acquired a tank with a capacity of 40 tons of water, intended for large-scale physics experiments. For the next two years, this tank will remain at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland)...
