Animations

ANIMATIONS In our animations we try to balance realism, accuracy and clarity, depending on the demand of our clients. 2016 Scixel’s Demoreel Quantized Thermal Transport A cool work for filmociencia. They are directing a series of videos for ICMAT and AXA Research Fund on risk and its science. In this animation we simulated the motion […]

Covers

Some of our work has been awarded with the cover of major scientific journals. Although full credit goes to the researchers, we like to think we had something to do with it. Just a happy thought.

Scixel goes to China

Dr. Lanza’s research activity is somewhat beyond understanding. At least beyond our understanding. Here is a good example: his new book on Conductive Atomic Force Microscopy, where he, together with leading researchers, provides a global perspective on the subject and covers novel strategies, configurations and setups where new information will be obtained with the help […]

Graphene, now in full colour

Researchers from the Graphene Flagship at TU Delft have found a new potential application for graphene: mechanical pixels. By applying a pressure difference across graphene membranes, the perceived color of the graphene can be shifted continuously from red to blue. In this simulation, requested by Santiago Cartamil and performed by Scixel, graphene changes its colour […]

Molecular selfies

People at the ICFO have rocked the boat again. This time by taking pictures of chemical reactions with unprecedent space and time resolution. And we were lucky enough to make this picture for them, representing the process. No surprise this research has been published in Science.

And Now for Something Completely Different… Circles

Circles is a powerful short movie based on a poem, based on a piece of music. Just the piece of music survived. We also wanted to mix two techniques: 3D plus rough pencil traditional animation. This is a side project of Scixel with two purposes: to sharpen our skills and to save money on therapists […]

1D charge density waves

Another milestone in the understanding of 2D semiconductors. S. Barja (Berkeley) , M. M. Ugeda (CIC Nanogune) et al. have observed the formation of one-dimensional charge density waves along mirror twin boundaries in MoSe2. This research opens the door to the study of charge transport in this type of materials. Sadly, the picture didn’t make […]
