The main goal of the program is to foster synergies between the two Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) groups and help stimulate further activities in the future. There is an informal call with a deadline of April 30th, 2025 for proposals for...

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear colleague Professor César Gómez, yesterday afternoon in Madrid. This is a day of profound sadness for all of us. César was a founding member of our institute and one of the driving forces behind its...

Sachiko Kuroyanagi, a staff scientist at the Instituto de Física Teórica IFT UAM-CSIC, has been awarded one of the prestigious 2024 Leonardo Grants in the Physics category, granted by Fundación BBVA. Her project, titled “Innovative Machine Learning Application for...

The DESI collaboration published a new analysis of dark energy using their first three years of collected data, which spans nearly 15 million galaxies and quasars. This analysis combined the DESI data with information from studies of the cosmic microwave background,...

The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission released its first batch of survey data, including a preview of its deep fields. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in combination with citizen science campaigns, the Euclid Consortium scientific results include...

The SUPRISE workshop brings together 40 experts in Madrid to discuss exotic particles and new neutrino interactions through these astrophysical objects. The event is organized by the Institute for Theoretical Physics UAM-CSIC to promote international scientific...

After attending introductory seminars, they had the opportunity to analyze real data from the LHC. Last Friday, March 7, 40 high school students had the opportunity to delve into the world of particle physics at the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IFT). The event,...

A new study led by researchers from IFT and UAM is the first to propose searching for dark matter signals in stellar streams originating from dwarf galaxies. The goal is to detect gamma rays produced by the annihilation of WIMPs, hypothetical particles that are...

The content stood out for their originality and variety of formats, including interviews, dramatizations, and songs. The initiative aims to foster scientific vocations without gender bias, highlighting historical and contemporary women scientists such as Marie Curie,...

Using innovative techniques to make Artificial Intelligence more transparent, this study published in Physical Review Letters unveils how neural networks learn from the large-scale distribution of galaxies—demystifying a process that was once considered a "black box."...

A new outreach video on the IFT YouTube channel. Our everyday experience tells us that we live in four dimensions: three spatial and one temporal. However, string theory predicts the existence of ten dimensions, six of which are compactified, making them impossible...

·       A recent study led by the IFT suggests that the annihilation of low-mass dark matter, below the gigaelectronvolt range, may be responsible for an unusual hydrogen ionization phenomenon in the Milky Way. ·       Additionally, researchers propose that this...
