An international team of scientists in which the University of Valencia participates has detected, for the first time in history, a blue jet with all its geometry from the first microsecond of its genesis, following it as it propagates in the stratosphere. The discovery affects the study of the warming of the highest areas of the Earth’s atmosphere and the global electrical circuit. The work appears published in journal Nature. Read More
In comparison to diesel, the technology proposed by the CMT-Thermal Engines researchers of the UPV would decrease the levels of NOx and soot by 92% and 88% respectively, and the CO2 emissions from the exhaust pipe by 15%. Read More
An international group of specialists, with the collaboration of the University of Valencia, grouped in the LIGO and Virgo projects, have announced the detection of an extraordinarily massive binary system merger: two black holes of 66 and 85 solar masses, which generated a final black hole of around 142 solar masses.

A team from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia has managed to observe the black hole of the active galaxy PKS1830-211 during the most violent gamma-ray energy event ever registered in that source. Read More
Researchers from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC), from the Physics Institute of Other Energies (IFAE-Barcelona) and from the Autonomous University of Madrid, have contributed to reveal a basic property of neutrinos that had not been measured until now. It represents an important step towards learning whether neutrinos behave differently in their matter and antimatter forms. The obtained results have been published as the front-page article of journal Nature. Read More
Around a year ago, international collaboration Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which Valencia University takes part in, published the first image of a black hole. Now, the team has observed in detail a high-speed stream of material emerging from another supermassive black hole. The data, obtained via high-accuracy VLBI interferometry, helps to analyse the behaviour of nature in such extreme conditions. The results have been published in the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal.

Manel Perucho, Professor of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Valencia has proposed an explanation for the origin of the deceleration of plasma jets (loss of speed along the matter and energy channels emanating from the central regions of an active galaxy), a subject that has been debated in recent decades.

International research involving the University of Valencia (UV) that has shown the correlation between high energy gamma burst and the development of thunderstorms at the millisecond level is on the cover of prestigious scientific journal Science in its January issue. The research addresses two violent atmospheric phenomena observed by the International Space Station (ISS), in which ultraviolet, optical and high energy emission were captured together. Read More
The University of Valencia has participated in the discovery of gravitational waves caused by the fusion of a very massive neutron star binary system. Read More
A team of the CMT-Thermal Engines Institute of the UPV University suggests a new configuration that unites all the benefits of hybrid motors with dual-fuel combustion technology. Read More
