If we were shown a short film and asked to describe the images to someone who does not have access to the visuals, would we all be describing the same? This question could be the starting point to what is researched in the article “One short film,...
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an analytic technique which allows to determine the 3D structure of molecules in solution. One of the objectives of the investigation carried out in the UAB Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Service is to improve...
Gold nanoparticles are nanomaterials commonly used in nanotechnology applications. However, they could be very dangerous and have several effects to aquatic organisms. That is why...

Polibenzoxazines are polymers usually prepared by heating benzoxazine monomers at high temperatures. However, this process represents a high energetic cost. That’s why the UAB Chemistry Department have created a...
The normal shape for a red blood cell is a bi-concave disc. However, a lot of pathologies are generated by a distortion in this shape due to different causes like a defects in the cell membrane skeletal architecture. Acoustic...
The geothermal energy is one of the energy sources that has been enhanced to move forward to a sustainable energetic model. However, an induced seismicity is produced in Enhanced Geothermal Systems and sometimes it may potentially end up damaging the Earth’s surface....
A team of paleontologists led by the Director of the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP), David M. Alba, has described in the Journal of Human Evolution 5-million-years-old dental remains that represent the oldest record of macaques in the Iberian...
