Science outreach activity for elementary school students
Elementary school students from Canfranc-Estación participated in an outreach activity where they learned about the science carried out at the LSC. Concepts such as what cosmic rays are and the difficulty of searching for dark matter were made easy to understand through various interactive activities.
4th TVLBAI Workshop
From February 2 to 4, the 4th Terrestrial Very-Large-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) Workshop was held at the LSC facilities. This workshop brought together international experts from several scientific and technological fields of relevance to TVLBAI, with the main objective of progressing towards the realisation of kilometre-scale experiments planned to become operational in the mid-2030s.
End of data collection for the ANAIS-112 experiment
ANAIS-112 has accumulated nearly 8 and a half years of data with 9 NaI(Tl) modules (112.5 kg), achieving a high level of experimental stability. The analysis of the first 6 years shows no annual modulation, leaving little room to interpret the DAMA/LIBRA result in terms of dark matter. On [...]
Big Science Industry Forum Spain 2025
The LSC, together with other ICTS, participated in the Big Science Industry Forum Spain 2025 (BSIFS2025) organised by the CDTI, the INDUCIENCIA Technology Platform and the Spanish Science Industry Association INEUSTAR. This is the first Science Industry forum to be held in Spain. The aim of this forum was [...]
Scientific Day for high school students
On January 15, the LSC held its Science Day for the second year in a row, welcoming students on the 2nd year of High School from centres in Jaca.Throughout the day, students took part in various workshops and learned about key techniques used at the LSC, such as copper electroforming [...]
The LSC wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
The LSC closes a successful year. We head into the holidays having completed the design of the anti-implosion covers for Hyper-K, which will protect the detector’s 20,000 eyes. During 2025, the LSC also launched its first in-house biology experiment, simulating the conditions of space travel: microgravity, cosmic silence, and proton irradiation. The LSC and our mascot Desmán wish you a happy 2026, full of health, science, and new discoveries.
