El grupo de Barbacid en el CNIO elimina tumores de pรกncreas en ratones por completo y sin que aparezcan resistencias En Espaรฑa se diagnostican cada aรฑo mรกs de 10.300 casos de cรกncer de pรกncreas, uno de los tumores mรกs agresivos. Su detecciรณn en fases avanzadas, y la falta de terapias eficaces, hace que la supervivencia cinco aรฑos tras el diagnรณstico sea inferior al 10%. Pero la investigaciรณn estรก despegando, y empezando a cambiar el paradigma [โ€ฆ]

Congratulations! Despite the difficulties, we are on the verge of knowledge in Spain.

Itโ€™s been a pleasure to participate en #Mad4Space, presenting our innovative embedded Data Acquisition System (eDAS) developed at IAC. Thanks for the opportunity!

Apple has been caught completely off guard with the AI topic. Embarrassing.

As far as Europe is concerned, weโ€™d better wake up - and fast. Otherwise, we might as well start learning Russian.

Definitely, I donโ€™t understand Americans. The paladins of freedom, free world and democracy, have a president that basically states that โ€œhe is the lawโ€. Congrats on your fantastic choice to rule your country.

Exciting news ahead on the development of our eDAS and RIM systems at IAC. Some clue: what if we could suppress the effects of Starlink satellites on the CMB with FPGAs in real time? Stay tuned!

Happy new year everyone!

Do you know what active and passive components are?

Active: they can amplify, generate or manipulate electrical signals.

Passive: they store or dissipate energy, cannot generate or amplify electrical signals.

Youโ€™re absolutely right! If you want to control intensive logic in a so fine way, better go for VHDL/ Verilog!

Tip: when using Vitis HLS, if you want to do cosimulation, use the #pragma HLS INTERFACE ap_ctrl_hs port=return, instead of #pragma HLS INTERFACE ap_ctrl_none port=return. If not, it won't work properly!

Curious about how to generate RTL code without using VHDL/Verilog? Vitis HLS tool allows users to easily create complex FPGA algorithms by synthesizing a C/C++ function into RTL. Check it out, I use it everyday! ๐Ÿ™‚

What kind of hardware do we use to develop data acquisition systems for superconducting detectors? AMD Xilinx ZCU111 & ZCU208 are our primary development platforms. Each one of this evaluation platforms costs between 15-20 k$. We plan to build our custom boards in the near future!

Curious about how to generate a complex signal (analytic signal) from a real one? Check out the Hilbert Transform! Itโ€™s super useful in hardware design and digital signal processing.

Interested in hardware design? At Electronics Department of IAC we investigate on both analog and digital electronics, digital signal processing and data acquisition systems for many applications. Specifically, my job is related to superconducting detectors.
