Recognition from the local press
After the publication of the study of the TATP molecule (“Microwave detection of wet triacetone triperoxide (TATP): non-covalent forces in water dynamics, Chem. Eur. J. 27 (2021) 1680-1687″), due to its explosive role, the local press has been interested in our work and has publised some articles in the local media.
Some examples are the cabinet of communication of the University of Valladolid (website) and in the newspaper “El Mundo”, in its Valladolid section (website).
Moreover, this relevance in the media has attracted several State security forces to contact us and visit our laboratory.

Prof. A. Maris visited the RSRG
In June 2017, we welcomed to Prof. A. Maris, from the Free Jet Microwave Spectroscopy Group of the Department of Chemistry C. Ciamician in the Università di Bologna, Italy.
She staid with us from 25 to 27 in a short visit.
Prof. Z. Kisiel visited the RSG
We were pleased to welcome to one of the most experts in rotational spectroscopy, Prof. Z. Kisiel, from Insitite of Physics in Warsaw, Poland.
His visit took place from 8 to 19 May, 2017. During the time he was here working with us he also gave a really useful PhD curse called: “Analysis of broadband rotational spectra”. Moreover, we also had time to sightsee the beautiful local landscape and enjoy with our traditional meal.
Thank you for your visit Professor Kisiel and we are looking forward to seeing you.
