During his visit to the AVS facilities located on the Euskadi Technology Park’s Vitoria-Gasteiz Campus, Iñigo Urkullu gained knowledge about the company’s forthcoming space missions. The company was awarded the NASA ROADS mission today. It is also in charge of the LUR-1 Project, which is the first satellite to be used for Earth observation that…
The VII Young Researchers Awards are an initiative by the AstraZeneca Foundation under the motto of «People who change lives», to support the growth and consolidation of young scientific talent in Spain. The molecular and cellular underpinnings of intercellular communication in deadly prostate cancer are the focus of research led by CIC bioGUNE and researcher…
The Basque Country produces the first renewable hydrogen thanks to a 2.5 MW electrolyser located at Petronor that supplies the Energy Intelligence Center, as well as the company’s new offices at the Ezkerraldea-Meatzaldea Technology Park in Abanto Zierbena. In addition, this renewable hydrogen will also be used in the first buses and heavy vehicles of…
Given that 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, with 97% coming from the seas and oceans, it seems reasonable to believe that marine energies are here to stay in this decarbonisation scenario. However, we often refer to offshore wind energy, which is the most prominent in the field, but we must take…
Along with research teams from Korea, Japan, and the United States, an international research team led by Deung-Jang Choi and Cristina Mier from the Centro de Física de Materiales (CSIC-UPV/EHU) and the Donostia International Physics Centre (DIPC) has effectively put forward a new quantum platform that employs the electron spin of a single atom on…
The Seville Institute of Biomedicine (Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío/CSIC/University of Seville) has recently collaborated with the University of the Basque Country, the Biofisika Institute, the International Physics Centre of Donostia and other prestigious national and international centres to develop CartoCell, a high-content 3D image analysis tool that reveals hidden patterns of cell morphology. This…
The UnLOHCked project led by the SUPREN research group receives funding of 3 million euros from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), achieving climate neutrality is essential to curb global warming. The European Union aims to achieve energy neutrality by 2050 and has therefore implemented the «A Clean…
The NanoBioCel group of the UPV/EHU has edited and published a book that analyses emerging approaches related to these technologies. The increasing availability and decreasing costs of 3D printing and bioprinting technologies are expanding opportunities to meet medical and pharmaceutical needs. The book edited by researchers from the UPV/EHU’s NanoBioCel group analyses emerging approaches related…
The aim is to design and validate an electrically rechargeable zinc-air battery on a laboratory scale that will allow progress in cyclability and storage time, to combine with renewable energies and electrolysers for stationary storage (medium-long term). CIC energiGUNE, a leading Basque research center in electrochemical energy storage, thermal energy storage and conversion, and hydrogen…
Aiming at celebrating the development of science for the common welfare of humanity, the Passion for Knowledge (P4K) 2023 science festival has been organised. This programme, which comes with a renewed image and an extensive line-up of activities for all audiences, includes the participation of a large group of international scientists and Nobel Prize winners. All this…
