This year, the 17th edition of the "Fira Recerca en Directe", organized by the Parc Científic de Barcelona (PCB) in collaboration with Obra Social "la Caixa", will count with the participation of the "Superconducting and Large Scale Nanostructures" group (SUMAN), which will show, among others, the levitating superconducting train. The science fair will take place at CosmoCaixa on 6-9 March 2019.
This science fair is open to schools on 6-8 March 2019. On Saturday, 9 March 2019, the fair will be open to the general public from 10 am to 2 pm.
The fair wants to show current research projects that are being carried out in Catalonia in different research fields. The aim is to get science closer to the society. To this aim, 11 research groups from different universities and institutions will bring part of their labs to CosmoCaixa Barcelona, to interact with the students and visitors, which will have to do some experiments and solve some enigmas following the scientific method.
The project of the SUMAN group is the following:
NOUS MATERIALS – Trens que leviten, materials superconductors

El nou paradigma energètic sostenible requereix que es desenvolupin noves tecnologies eficients i sostenibles, capaces d’acomodar la demanda i els requisits energètics mundials amb una aposta clara per les energies renovables. Dins d’aquestes tecnologies, els materials superconductors juguen un paper primordial. Moltes aplicacions es beneficiaran de les seves propietats úniques, com ara cables, motors, generadors d’energia i reactors de fusió. A la Fira presentarem la nostra recerca entorn de la preparació de cintes superconductores per mètodes químics, donat el seu gran potencial en termes de cost/prestacions que ofereixen.A la Fira podràs posar a prova l’eficiència de la superconductivitat i la levitació magnètica i veuràs com aquestes propietats es poden aplicar per desenvolupar un tren levitant.
The other 10 groups that will be there are:
