A new study from the UAB has identified the most ancient case of isolated bilateral macrodontia of mandibular second premolars reported to date. It is a relatively uncommon dental malformation that has been found in...
We have developed novel hybrid microrobots for wastewater treatment. These microrobots consist of a ferromagnetic piece stacked onto a porous semiconducting segment containing photocatalytic properties. These microstructures were found to be...
Through the study of the vegetation succession and sedimentological, geochemical and geomorphological data from the Lake of Banyoles (Girona, Spain), one study has shown that the Middle Holocene was marked by drying and cooling oscillations and by...
Specialists in oceanography and the study of climate change have studied fossil remains of planktonic foraminifera from the Gulf of Mexico with the aim of investigating temperature, salinity and oceanic productivity during...

A study onstorage systems of drinking water in 147 municipal deposits confirms that the material characteristics of these are the main contributors to their environmental impact, rather than transportation or the installation system. The storage capacity,...
Researchers from UAB describe for the first time, in a work published in PLOS ONE, a model of behaviour of a bacterial colony that shows how the colony protects itself against toxic substances, like antibiotics, during the colonisation process. The...
