UB scientists Anna Ferré Mateu and Katharina Heil, chosen in an international project on leadership for women
Anna Ferré Mateu is a researcher at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the UB.
Katharina Heil is director of scientific projects.
Anna Ferré Mateu, researcher at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the UB (ICCUB-IEEC), and Katharina Heil, scientific project manager of European research projects at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, are two out of the hundred researchers worldwide that have been chosen for the Homeward Bound project, a leadership initiative for women training on STEM. The program will close with a three-week trip to the Antarctica by ship.

A new type of quantum droplet - the most dilute liquids ever experimentally observed - helps unravel the mechanism leading to the formation of one dimensional self-bound quantum liquids in free space. Researchers present a microscopic theory of lattice quantum droplets.

Liquids are ubiquitous in Nature: from the water that we consume daily to superfluid helium which is a quantum liquid appearing at temperatures as low as only a few degrees above the absolute zero. A common feature of these vastly different liquids is being self-bound in free space in the form of droplets. Understanding from a microscopic perspective how a liquid is formed by adding particles one by one is a significant challenge.

Physicists propose a new theory to explain one dimensional quantum liquids formation
Researchers from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona present a microscopic theory of lattice quantum droplets which explains the formation of a new type of quantum droplets that has been experimentally observed in ultracold atomic systems.
