The World-Wide Waste Web, the network through which our garbage travels
March 28, 2022
IFISC researchers have identified which 57 countries in the world are at high risk of waste congestion.The study, published in Nature Communications, has analyzed global networks for the exchange of different types of litter between 2001 and 2019.A group of …
Voces, CSIC Balears: Quantum physics, thermoelectricity and nanoconductors
March 8, 2022
IFISC (UIB-CSIC) and the Institutional Representation of CSIC in the Balearic Islands join forces and create "Voces, CSIC Balears", a bimonthly podcast for the dissemination of science. Through interviews with scientists working at CSIC's centres in the Balearic Islands (IMEDEA …
The shape of memory in temporal networks
Jan. 25, 2022
An international team of researchers, with participation of IFISC (UIB-CSIC), have proposed a mathematical framework to estimate the memory structure of temporal networks. These findings are published in the latest issue Nature Communications.Temporal Networks (those whose structure changes over time) …
Capturing the diversity of multilingual societies
Jan. 11, 2022
Researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) have found that language coexistence is possible in multilingual societies when learning the endangered language is facilitated and when bilinguals show a preference for its use. These findings are published in the latest issue of Physical …
In quantum mechanics, not even time flows as you might expect
Nov. 24, 2021
A team of physicists at the Universities of Vienna, Bristol, IFISC and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI-Vienna) has shown how quantum systems can simultaneously evolve along two opposite time arrows (forward and backward in time). The …

Disease outbreak simulations reveal influence of “seeding” by multiple infected people
Oct. 14, 2021
A new computational analysis suggests that, beyond the initial effect of one infected person arriving and spreading disease to a previously uninfected population, the continuous arrival of more infected individuals has a significant influence on the evolution and severity of …
