The UAB's online journal UABDivulga recently received the National Research Prize 2017 from the Government of Catalonia and the Catalan Research and Innovation Foundation (FCRi) in the category of Scientific Communication.
Limits between big cities in developed countries and the rural land around them – the Peri-urban Agriculture (PUA) - are becoming blurred due to intensive ground urbanization. Researchers of the UAB Department of Geography have studied the...
The Bristol Business School, University of the West of England, and the AFIN Research Group, Autonomous University of Barcelona, have analysed the semantic resonance of words related to leadership (leader,...
Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) are among the most used nanoparticles in high technology applications. However, there is still little information about their effect on the environment and, particularly, on aquatic organisms. Researchers from the UAB and the University of Aveiro,...
Chemicals explosives are used in mining industries and civil constructions¸ unfortunately also in terrorist attacks. One of these compounds which is often used in this last objective is triperoxid of triacetone, because it can be produced...
Even with quantum computers, it takes an unrealistically long time for quantum randomness to be generated, and it is too expensive. However, physicists can instead use an approximate version of it known as...
Researchers at CREAF have compared the amounts of dust deposited through the wet and dry pathways in two regions of contrasted African influence: the Tenerife Island and the Montseny massif. Data show that elements from African dust were mostly delivered as wet deposition in Montseny,...
Researchers from the Department of Physics explore a series of transformations in quantum states occurring outside the linear world which only need a source of non-Gaussian states and simple linear operations. This framework may have an effect on future...
The nitrogen contained in ammonia is an essential nutrient for life, but when deposition exceeds the processing capacity of ecosystems it becomes an environmental threat. Researchers at the UAB have determined the critical level for ammonia...
A study conducted by the UAB Department of Medicine and the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital analyses the effects a high-calorie breakfast early in the morning has on the satifaction and sense of well-being after eating a mid-morning snack...
