Researchers from the IBB-UAB Nanobiotechnology group in collaboration with CIBER-BBN and ICTS-Nanbiosis-PPP have developed a new technique for the fabrication of protein nanoparticles with unique and useful...
The Department of Chemistry of the UAB in collaboration with the ICN2 have developed a new class of smart windows of low cost and facile fabrication based on polymeric coatings loaded with organic wax nanoparticles. Thus, at low ambient temperatures or with little...
The invention of the microscope put an end to the physiological limitations of the human eye. A window was opened to observe the microworld. The petrographic microscope, widely used in Geology, but also in other...
Researchers from the UAB and the Institut Català de Nanociència I Nanotecnologia (ICN2) have developed a nanoscale coordination polymer particle (NCP) built using paramagnetic iron(III) metal ions able to exhibit T1 and T2 high contrast potential for the magnetic...
A group from ICMAB-CSIC has studied the behavior of an organic radical as a molecular cable formed through the covalent carbon-gold bond between the molecule and the electrodes. This linkage is more stable and geometrically better well-defined than its...
Graphene-based materials are an efficient, cheap, abundant and non-toxic alternative for catalysing the obtaining of hydrogen, which can be used as a removable fuel, through the photoinduced water splitting. A group from the Instituto de Ciencias de los Materiales (ICMAB) has...

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,...
Researchers from the UAB and the ICN2 have developed gold nanoparticles conjugated to Cetuximab antibody, an antitumor drug used in the treatment of different tumours. Nanoconjugates substantially increased the effect of Cetuximab by reducing the...
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...
Transition metal oxides are an essential material for many industrial processes. Electrodeposition, which consists in the growth of a material on a substrate through the reduction (gain of electrons) of an ion present in an electrolyte (dissolution), allows preparing...
