The Vera C. Rubin Observatory (NSF–DOE) is transforming our view of the cosmos by using the largest camera ever built to scan the night sky over ten years, creating an ultra-high-definition, wide-field record of the universe. In its first year, it is expected to detect more asteroids than all current telescopes combined. This wealth of…
According to the results obtained with the Amalur EIS tool, 59.5% of the total environmental impact generated by industry in Europe comes from the energy sector The Amalur EIS environmental information system, developed by the Ekopol group at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), allows for the analysis of environmental impacts at national, regional,…
In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has shown significant interest in improved alternatives to ‘small molecules’ for medication discovery. Within this strategic direction, cyclopeptidic compounds are gaining traction in drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. As explained by researcher Arkaitz Correa from the University of the Basque Country’s Faculty of Chemistry, unlike small molecules…

CIDETEC Surface Engineering drives innovation in durable and efficient electrocatalysts without PGMs, improving seawater electrolysis SWEETHY is a 4-year project, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to develop an innovative electrolysis cell capable of producing 20 g h-1 of hydrogen directly from seawater. The project addresses the challenge of processing impure water by harnessing…
Cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the UPV/EHU open up new ways to study neurodegenerative diseases and develop future autologous transplants. A study by the UPV/EHU, published in the prestigious journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy, has proven that stem cells extracted from human dental pulp can be transformed into excitable neuronal-type cells and has…
LAPlab investigates the process of learning a language and how speaking several languages delays the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Before we are born, we are already surrounded by language, but how do we acquire it? How do we go from babbling to communicating complex ideas? These are the questions that the Language…
The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center was announced in 2023 to foster the use of advanced technologies throughout the Basque Government and the Diputaciones (provincial governments) of its three territories: Alava, Bizkaia, and Gipuzkoa. Its mission is to raise the level of research institutions by expanding international scientific collaborations, conducting world-class fundamental research, and strengthening quantum…
