The Research Center for Multiscale Science and Engineering (CCEM) directed by Professor Josep Lluís Tamarit from the Department of Physics organized the meeting that brought together a large part of the scientific community of the Diagonal-Besòs Campus.

Refrigeration systems contribute significantly to climate change. Now, a European Consortium involving institutions from France, Slovenia, United Kingdom and Spain, has been awarded with 3.4M euros EU grant for the next 4 years to develop a new all-solid refrigeration technology based on the energy exchanged during spin transitions driven by pressure: the FROSTBIT project

Maria Duque defended her thesis co-directed by Cristina Masoller and Jordi Tiana on December 5 at the Terrassa Campus. Entitled "Experimental study of the coherence of the light emitted by a semiconductor laser with optical feedback", the thesis studies the appearance and evolution of coherence during laser start-up in different optical feedback scenarios. In addition, the impact of sinusoidal modulation in the injection current on the coherence of lasers is investigated and includes a chapter on the impact of optical injection
