Microscopic beauty: a silicon waveguide (blue) and an indium tin oxide microheater (green), fabricated at NANOPHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY CENTER - NTC. Complexity and elegance packed into just a few microns.

Tener clara tu identidad profesional te permite fijar un rumbo y avanzar con propósito. Qué haces (misión), hacia dónde vas (visión) y cómo eliges actuar (valores) son tres pilares clave. Sin ellos, es como andar dando vueltas en un desierto sin brújula. #Reflexión

From today, all new submissions to Nature that are published will be accompanied by referees’ reports and author responses — to illuminate the process of producing rigorous science go.nature.com/44hKo29

I am pleased to share our participation in OPTOEL 2025, the Spanish Conference on Optoelectronics, where our colleague Jorge Parra presented our latest work on new photonic devices enabled by functional materials. Great opportunity to engage with the Spanish photonics community.

Universities evolved into machines obsessed with branding, grants, and bureaucracy. Science became collateral damage.

While everyone’s busy with TikToks & podcasts, I went retro: built a personal website 😁 No dances, no trends, just research, teaching & resources. Thinking of a PhD in Spain or starting academia? You might find it useful. 👉 jorpago2.blogs.uv.es

Respect to profs who improve teaching and research even if the system doesn’t reward it. My role models, even without monthly Nature papers.

~2012 must have been like a crazy time. Neural networks were considered nonsense by most people. Hinton, LeCun and Bengio were the amongst the very few people who kept it all alive for decades. Alex Krizhevsky, a mad coding genius and a socially aloof kid, shows up to Hinton's

A new toy arrived today. Looking forward to testing if it really runs at 1.25 Gbps over 20 km. Cost was under 15€.

BREAKING NEWS! Qualcomm acquires @Arduino, launches the new Arduino UNO Q. hackster.io/news/qualcomm-…

Two decades ago, Arduino put a microcontroller in every student’s hand, revolutionizing grassroots education. Today, as Arduino begins a new chapter in another domain, we’re opening the next chapter in education: putting FPGAs into every student’s hand. We’re delighted to

Researchers at NUS just 3D printed metal circuits in mid air using a system called CHARM3D. It uses Field’s metal, a low melting alloy that cools fast enough to hold its own shape. They can literally draw wires in space that conduct electricity, bend, and heal when reheated. A

TSMC's Project Nightingale never stopped since 2014 It started when TSMC fell behind Samsung and lost Apple’s A9 chip order That paranoia never stopped -- research engineers continued their 3-shifts, 24-hour non-stop R&D operations until today TSMC took Andy Grove's wisdom
