News from the other side

While preparing the 2016 demoreel, I’ve just found two covers I did during last year I was totally unaware of… This seems to be alive beyond my control.

Widefield Lensless Endoscopy via Speckle Correlations

If you want to know about cool stuff going on in the optics field, check out the Advanced Imaging Lab, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Now they’ve come up with a way to make Widefield Lensless Endoscopy via Speckle Correlations. In short, this means smaller devices and better quality images by using speckle correlations […]

Phonometa’s new website

We’ve just finished the new Phonometa’s website, a research group that explores a not so common area of condensed matter physics:  physical acoustics, elasticity, and vibrating engineered fluids or solids. Phonometa’s head, Johan Christensen, has just arrived from Denmark to establish his group at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Interesting stuff is going to come […]

Quantized thermal transport: this is big

For the first time, a solid proof of the quantized nature of thermal transport in single atom junctions. That’s it. While quantized electrical conductance was pretty well known and proof for quite a while, quantized thermal transport observation was still slipping away from researchers eyes. Until now. A group of researchers from Michigan University, Universidad […]

Where to research?

Here we present the IFT (Instituto de física teórica). Filmociencia has directed this beautiful video to present this research institute and the amazing environment they offer to students and researchers. We have collaborated with them performing a small presentation effect.

Light and Death

At Cristina Flors’s research group they have been able to study bacterial death in real time. Bacterial death is induced through the combination of light and photosensitizers. This way it is possible inspect the pathway of photodynamic damage at the single-cell level. Their work has been awarded with the cover of February’s issue of the […]

Risky Life

It is always a pleasure to work with our friends in Filmociencia. They are the directors of what it is going to be a series of videos about risk for the ICMAT and funded by AXA Research Fund. And we at Scixel did the graphics for it. Want to learn more about risk and its […]

Water Splitting

As said before, Dr. Lanza’s research group doesn’t seem to sleep at all. Their recent work on water splitting has earned the cover of Journal of Materials Chemistry A.

Scixel

WHO WE ARE Born in 2012, Scixel is a project devoted to the improvement of the scientific comunication through the creation of graphical products: pictures, animations, graphs, posters, etc. Scixel consists of scientists with a deep knowledge in digital graphics but also with a long experience in giving talks, preparing posters and papers and other […]

Pictures

Pictures Our pictures cover a wide range of styles, depending on the purpose: from very artistic representations to more schematic sketches. These pictures have appeared in scientific magazines (Nature Materials, Optics Letters, etc), thesis manuscripts, talks, posters and magazine covers.
