So the researchers concluded that a new system for assessing the food quality of ready meals needs to…
The basque researcher, Ildefonso Martínez de la Fuente, has led an exhaustive analysis of the locomotion trajectories of 700 individual cells using advanced scientific techniques to demonstrate that their movements depend on a joint, self-organised action of practically all the physiological processes that make up the cell. This multidisciplinary research, in which various departments of…
The tool designed by the CAVIAR group of the ‘UPV/EHU’ will help to formulate housing regeneration policies to meet the European Union’s decarbonisation requirements Markel Arbulu has developed a resource to assess whether the strategies for implementing the energy renovation of housing are sustainable from the perspective of environmental and economic sustainability. The simulation tool…
An international team, including the Ikerbasque research professor of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and associate of Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) Tom Broadhurst, used the high resolution of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) combined with a powerful gravitational lens to conclude that the galaxies that formed in the early universe were…
