One of those things that make you wonder “is this even possible?” while your jaw is still dropping. Then Netherlands are funding the consortium BaSyC in order for them to build a synthetic biological cell. It is hard to foresee what new pieces of knowledge and technology this research will produce. But in the short […]
Dr. Cristina Flors research group (IMDEA Nanoscience) is exploring the combination of complementary techniques to characterize materials at the nanoscale. This is a key step to the design and fabrication of new materials with improved properties and diverse functions. The combination of atomic force microscopy and super-resolution fluorescence imaging is investigated as a useful tool […]
Remember that beautiful picture we did for Prof. Shigeki Kaway (NIMS, Tsukuba, Japan)? Well, it made it to the cover of Chemistry today! And professor Kawai has been kind enough to send us the picture.
This 28th of April the workshop on NanoBioSystems will be held at Imdea Nanociencia Institute. And they’ve used an image we did for Dr. Cristina Flors on her research on Hybrid nanoscopy of hybrid nanomaterials.
The China RRAM International Workshop launches its first edition on June 12th-14th of 2017 at Soochow University. Resistive Random Access Memories and related applications will be discussed in this workshop. They asked us to make a picture for the workshop website and this is what we came up with, with the help of Prof. Mario […]
I know I say this a lot, but one of the main benefits of this job is that you get to know about cool projects like that of GrapheneX. Simply put, the GrapheneX team from TUDelft, is studying the potential use of graphene-based materials as solar sails. Light from the Sun or a laser beam […]
For some time, rare earth oxides have been thought to be water-repellent. This march, scientists from the University of Basel, the Swiss Nanoscience Institute and the Paul Scherrer Institute, have found the real origin of this behaviour. They’ve shown that rare earth oxides do not present any significant hydrophobicity. Only when exposed to environmental conditions, […]
Finally we’ve found some time to produce our 2016 demoreel. It’s been a great year. We’ve worked with a lot of new people in Spain and abroad. Lots of amazing projects both artistically and scientifically. These are some of them: This is a way of both showing off about the people we’ve worked with and […]
The chemistry of halogens is part of the cycle in the fabrication of multiple chemicals. That alone explains the importance of having a closed halogen loop so this process occurs in an efficient and sustainable manner. That “recycling” idea is what Prof. Javier Pérez-Ramirez (aCe Catalisys Engineering at ETH Hönggerberg) wanted to picture in this […]
Imagine having your your battery charger printed on your clothes or on the screen of your cellphone… this is what Organic Nanostructured Photovoltaics group, at ICFO is proposing. The use of organic electronics allows the production of flexible cells which happen to be highly inefficient. By layering nanoparticles in a clever way, they’ve been able […]
