ITER has integrated an innovative sensor visualization system into its wind tunnel, the first wind tunnel in the Canary Islands. Designed for conducting civil tests, this wind tunnel is a key tool in aerodynamic research. The new integration is part of an ongoing specific project. ITER’s wind tunnel features a wide variety of sensors that measure different physical quantities, such as angular and linear forces on the models being studied inside, as well as wind speed and direction. These sensor variables, previously represented as scalar values, are now visualized as three-dimensional vectors thanks to the innovative sensor visualization system. This…

The event will be held on April 27, May 11 and 18 with the aim of bringing the public closer to the world of genetics and genomics. The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Autonomous Organism of Museums and Centers (OAMC), will bring together 10 expert researchers in the IV Conference on Genetics: DNA. The Tiny Universe . Research staff from the Genomics Area of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) will participate in this event to be held on April 27th, 11th and 18th of May between 18.00 and 20.00 hours at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology…
A scientific collaboration between researchers from the Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics of Novosibirsk in Russia, the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN) and the University of Granada reveals the secrets of the centre of the island of Tenerife through a New seismic tomography study using microseismicity located in the interior of the island The results of this study have recently been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, one of the most relevant international scientific journals in the field of geophysics edited by the American Geophysical Society (AGU). These results constitute an important tool to interpret…
The event, organized by the HEXAGONE strategic project, brought together entities from the Azores, Canary Islands, Madeira and Ghana, Ivory Coast, Gambia and Sao Tome and Principe in Funchal (Madeira) from March 28 to 29, with the aim of promoting cooperation between European regions and the new African countries participating in the INTERREG MAC program. The Networking Days included three working groups on different priority topics for the Program, as well as networking sessions among the participating entities. Mónica Alonso López, representing ITER, participated in the round table “Green, Blue Economy and Climate Change”, which took place on March 28th,…
The “Online Volunteering” program, implemented by both entities, was one of the winners in the first edition of these awards, to which 23 nominations were presented by the island administration and local corporations. The Sociedad Insular para la Promoción de las Personas con Discapacidad (SINPROMI) and the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energía Renovables (ITER), have won first place in the I Premios de Innovación Pública y Buenas Prácticas del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, in the category of best practices already implemented, for the“Online Volunteering” program. With this award, the Cabildo of Tenerife recognizes the work carried out by both entities…
April 14 marks the celebration of World Quantum Technology Day which aims to engage the general public in understanding and discussing quantum science and technology. The choice of the day was made with reference to the Planck’s constant, 4.14a fundamental value in the governance of quantum physics. On the occasion of the commemoration of this day, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is organizing a day of dissemination of quantum computing and its applications. in the development of the knowledge society, particularly in the Canary Islands. The event will take place at the IACTEC in the morning, from 9:15…
