🥇 IUPAP C11 Early Career Scientist Prize in Particles and Fields 2026 🥇

🏵 Barbara Maria Latacz, CERN
“For her contributions to the development of the first coherent spectroscopy of a single antiproton spin in the BASE experiment at CERN. This establishes the first antimatter quantum bit and has the potential to improve precision antiproton magnetic moment measurements by at least a factor of 100.”

🏵 Huilin Qu, Tsung-Dao Lee Institute
“For his crucial contributions and leadership in the development of advanced machine learning algorithms for identifying decays of boosted heavy particles and their application in the search for H->cc decays at the Large Hadron Collider.”

🌍 How can the United Nations better address the complex challenges facing our world?

The International Science Council and its member organizations have issued an open letter to candidates for the next UN Secretary-General, calling for science to be recognized as a core pillar of global governance and multilateral cooperation.

As a member of the ISC, IUPAP contributed to the development of this initiative, which advocates for stronger science-policy interfaces, greater international scientific collaboration, and more equitable access to knowledge worldwide.

🎓 Congratulations to Gloria Platero, Chair of IUPAP Commission C8 on Semiconductors, on her induction as a Full Member of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain.

⚛️ In her inaugural lecture, The Role of Quantum Dots and Floquet Engineering in Quantum Technologies, Prof. Platero explored some of the most exciting challenges and opportunities in quantum science, highlighting the potential of quantum dots, quantum simulators, and Floquet engineering for future technologies.

🌍 A leading figure in condensed matter and quantum physics, Gloria Platero has also recently been elected Vice President of IUPAP and continues to play a key role in advancing international collaboration in physics.

As she reminded the audience in her speech: “Science is a collective endeavor.”

👏 Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
