The study led by a team at the EHU has identified hundreds of molecular markers in the oral cavity that can reflect pathological processes in other parts of the body A study conducted by a team at EHU (University of Basque Country) has found hundreds of molecular markers in the oral cavity that may indicate…
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…
This is an innovative social media initiative to improve nutritional education for people with coeliac disease. Researchers at the University of the Basque Country have developed “GLUTLEARN,” a nutritional education programme through social networks that has proven effective in improving knowledge about coeliac disease and the gluten-free diet. This innovative project has recently been published…
Europe’s cities are lagging behind in adapting to climate change and its risks. This is the main conclusion of a new study published in Nature Climate Change with the leading participation of the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3). The work reveals that almost 70% of climate adaptation plans in European cities have significant inconsistencies,…
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…
A UPV/EHU research project uses charcoal obtained from Pinus radiata remains to create a hybrid supercapacitor for energy storage. The Solid State and Materials Group has developed a lithium-ion capacitor with electrodes created from discarded wood particles from sawmills, a type of biomass accessible in the Basque Country. Sustainable and economical processes have been used…
