COVILHÃ: UBI Science & Innovation Festival brings science to the territory

SAPO9 September 2026 at 16:47

The University of Beira Interior (UBI) will promote, between September 23 and 25, the UBI Science & Innovation Festival – Science for the Territory. The festival takes place over three days in Covilhã and aims to bring scientific research closer to the local community.

The event aims to strengthen the connection between the university and the territory, creating a bridge between the work developed in academic institutions and the population of the Beira Interior region.

The initiative has the participation of researchers and students from UBI, who will share their projects and scientific discoveries in an accessible way to the general public.

This type of festival fits into a broader trend of Portuguese universities that seek to open their doors and demonstrate the impact of science on the daily lives of the communities in which they are inserted.

What is 'toasted skin syndrome', increasingly common in children

Toasted skin syndrome, also known as Erythema Ab Igne (EAI), is a burn caused by prolonged exposure to low-intensity heat. Traditionally associated with the use of hot water bottles and heating pads, the condition has become increasingly common in children due to heat emitted by electronic devices such as computers, phones and laptops. A case review published by a researcher from Leicester NHS Trust reports the case of a child who arrived at the emergency room with a rash without apparent causes, returning two weeks later with worsening symptoms including pain on touch and peeling. Doctors warn about the need for awareness regarding the risks of prolonged use of electronic devices near the skin.

Bibiano Costa Launches Unprecedented Method to Study Prime Numbers at São Paulo Book Fair

Amazonas professor Bibiano Silva da Costa presented at the São Paulo Book Fair on September 7 his book "The Method of Sequences A and B and the Equations that Determine Only Prime Numbers," published by Autografia Editora. The work, the result of decades of studies and more than 40 years dedicated to teaching mathematics, proposes a new method to observe the distribution of prime numbers through so-called sequences A and B and mathematical relationships developed by the author. The method organizes numbers and identifies composites through sums and equations, presenting the remaining numbers as primes, in addition to addressing semiprimes and seeking to make the study of these numbers more accessible.
