Transition metal oxides are an essential material for many industrial processes. Electrodeposition, which consists in the growth of a material on a substrate through the reduction (gain of electrons) of an ion present in an electrolyte (dissolution), allows preparing...
Nanoporous materials are similar to sponges, but made out of metals or oxides. Important aplications have already been discovered in the field of chemistry. Researchers from the Department of Physics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona are working to find new environmental applications for these...
Energy Harvesting, Solar Oxides, Siterm and Fuelium were chosen from among over 200 proposals based on innovative solutions in the field of energy efficiency and energy saving.
The ALBA Synchrotron, CSIC and company Alibava have signed a license agreement for commercialising this X-ray detector, a compact and portable system for X-rays characterisation.
Kostas Kostarelos is Professor of Nanomedicine at the University of Manchester and Honorary Professor at the University College of London (UK) and is founding editor of the journal Nanomedicine. He recently advised the company PlayGen to develop a video game on nanomedicine in order to use this technology as a tool...
In the 1930s, it was confirmed that the distance between galaxies was increasing, and at the end of the century it was observed that the rate of expansion of the universe was accelerating as well. This remains a theoretical problem, and there has been no consensus on any of...
In October 2003, several representatives of European institutions and a group of scientists inaugurated the first MAGIC telescope. MAGIC was realized by a collaboration of few European institutes, mostly Spanish, Italian and German. It was...
