IPFN - Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear

Nenhum cientista é uma ilha, precisa de comunidade Como trabalham os cientistas em equipa? Como nascem as ideias, como se tratam os dados, como se decidem que é o autor? Conversámos com Guilherme Milhano, que trabalha em física de partículas.

O Presidente do IPFN, Bruno Soares Gonçalves, será um dos convidados do Grande Debate da RTP1, dedicado ao tema da crise energética.

O debate reunirá especialistas de diferentes áreas para analisar o atual contexto energético internacional e os desafios que se colocam ao futuro.

📺 Hoje, às 22h00, na RTP1.

Today, as part of the celebrations marking the 115th anniversary of Instituto Superior Técnico, professors from IPFN received Outstanding Teaching Diplomas and students received Academic Excellence Diplomas at Técnico Innovation Center.

These distinctions recognise the dedication, commitment and excellence of the IPFN community in teaching, research and academic achievement.

Congratulations to all awardees! 👏

As part of Telecommunications Week, the Fundação Portuguesa das Comunicações, will host, on 22 May, the workshop “Quantum Communications and the Future of Communications”, an introductory session on quantum communications exploring how these technologies may redefine the future of secure communications and overcome the physical limitations of traditional networks.

The event is organised by the Quantum Information and Quantum Optics (QIQO) Lab, a joint laboratory between IPFN and Instituto de Telecomunicações dedicated to quantum technologies.

🗓️ 22 May | 14:00–17:00
📍 Museu das Comunicações, Lisbon

Free admission, subject to venue capacity.
Recommended for participants aged 16 and above.

IPFN was present at Técnico Open Day, on 18 April, at Instituto Superior Técnico (Alameda Campus, Lisbon), with a full day of activities and laboratory visits that brought research closer to the public.

In Salão Nobre, the activity "The Journey of Lasers and Plasmas" Invited visitors to explore plasma through a toroidal plasma ball, gas discharge tubes and a light diffraction experiment used to measure the thickness of a human hair, using a laser beam. Virtual reality simulations developed by Group of Lasers and Plasmas extended this experience, from plasma accelerators to astrophysical scenarios. The VOXEL lab 3D model added a glimpse into next Generation X-ray imaging.

"Can we recreate the energy of the starts on Earth?", was the theme of another activity, focused on nuclear fusion, combining an interactive quiz with a 3D model of the ITER reactor.

Across campus, IPFN opened the doors of the ISTTOK tokamak, whilst the Quantum Information and Quantum Optics Lab (QIQO), a joint initiative with Instituto de Telecomunicações, was introduced to the public for the first time.

This day relied on a strong team effort:

Hands-on activities: Andre Beverido, Ankur Nath, Bernardo Barbosa, Bhushan Thakur, Chiara Badiali, Daniel Hachmeister, Gonçalo Teixeira, Joaquim Augusto Valente Nogueira, Lucas Inigo, Marco Costa, Mário Vaz, Óscar Amaro, Susana Muiños, Zahra Chamazkoti

Lab tour: Carlos Silva, Emmanuel Cruzeiro, Horácio Fernandes

A special thank you to everyone involved and to all who engaged with IPFN throughout the day. 🙌
