A study by researchers Juan Sánchez-Baena, Ferran Mazzanti and Jordi Boronat, from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, together with researcher Raúl Bombı́n, from the University of Bordeaux, shows for the first time the creation and destruction of a quantum supersolid by heating a dipolar system, initially in a superfluid phase without spatial order. The work illustrates the connection between the counterintuitive appearance of a solid by heating, exclusive to the quantum realm, and the expected phenomenology of fusion when the temperature is raised

Benet Eiximeno Franch defended his thesis co-directed by Oriol Lehmkuhl Barba and Ivette Maria Rodríguez Pérez on October 31, 2025 at Campus Nor. The thesis is titled "High performance computing and artificial intelligence for dimensionality reduction of turbulent flows" and investigates how large-scale artificial intelligence can help compress aerodynamic simulation data to better understand chaotic turbulence phenomena
