Snails are known for their interesting ability to accumulate and detoxify heavy metals. They have the ability to accumulate cadmium (a very toxic element) in a way that is innocuous when captured by metallothioneins, a family of proteins. Researchers from...
The wastewater treatment plant developed by the UAB and Aigües de Manresa S.A. municipal company, generates value-added products simultaneously to the debugging process. The system recovers 50% of the phosphorus, useful as a fertilizer, extracts materials to produce...
Some of the memories currently used in electronic devices are based on ferroelectric insulating materials that permit non-volatile storing of information. However, they contain toxic oxides, such as lead-compounds. Researchers from the ICMAB-CSIC have replaced these...
