| Abstract (English): |
The article focuses on three significant news items in the field of physics in Cuba and the international scientific community. First, it highlights the popular science talk given by Argentine theoretical physicist José Edelstein at the University of Havana, where he explained the central role of chance in quantum mechanics, addressing the historic debate between Einstein and Born and how recent experiments confirmed the probabilistic nature of the universe. Secondly, it reports that three Cuban students won bronze medals at the 2026 KaIPhO International Physics Olympiad, an event emphasizing theoretical physics and featuring the participation of 108 students from 16 countries. Finally, four Cuban scientists from the Center for Technological Applications and Nuclear Development (CEADEN) are recognized for their contribution to the ALICE project at CERN, which was awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for research on heavy ion collisions and cosmic rays.

El artículo se centra en tres noticias relevantes del ámbito de la física en Cuba y la comunidad científica internacional. Primero, destaca la charla divulgativa del físico teórico argentino José Edelstein en la Universidad de La Habana, donde explicó el papel central del azar en la mecánica cuántica, abordando el histórico debate entre Einstein y Born y cómo experimentos recientes confirmaron la naturaleza probabilística del universo. En segundo lugar, se informa que tres estudiantes cubanos obtuvieron medallas de bronce en la Olimpiada Internacional de Física KaIPhO 2026, un evento con énfasis en física teórica y participación de 108 estudiantes de 16 países. Finalmente, se reconoce a cuatro científicos cubanos del Centro de Aplicaciones Tecnológicas y Desarrollo Nuclear (CEADEN) por su contribución al proyecto ALICE del CERN, galardonado con el Premio Breakthrough en Física Fundamental por investigaciones en colisiones de iones pesados y rayos cósmicos.
