Analysing how the introduction of renewables affects the electricity grid on islands
Feb. 24, 2023
A study carried out by IFISC researchers proposes a model that emulates the behaviour of the electricity grid with high renewable production.The researchers used the increase in wind power generation on Gran Canaria as a case study. A new study …
Formation of biological patterns by pulsed signals
Feb. 6, 2023
Alan Turing first described how regular patterns found in living things, such as the stripes of zebras, appear.A collaborative study between IFISC and Princeton University proposes an alternative mechanism to explain this pattern formation. Understanding how regular shapes (patterns) are …

Modeling the spread of Pierce's disease of grapevines
Jan. 30, 2023
Wine production is being decimated in some places by Pierce's disease, caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. Researchers propose a model that takes into account the effect of ambient temperature to see how climate change will affect its spread. A …
Traveling patterns in seagrass meadows
Jan. 9, 2023
In seagrass meadows there are patterns associated with high mortality of plants capable of moving while maintaining their shape.Researchers propose a model that reproduces these traveling patterns and at the same time is a diagnostic tool for the health status …
