Superabsorbers nanomaterials that trap sunlight

Projects
ICMAB researchers have designed ultrathin materials that maximize the absorption of light in a large range of the solar spectrum. The followed strategy is low cost and fully scalable. The obtained superabsorbers materials have many potential applications, especially in the field of photovoltaic energy and photodetection.

Novel photonic materials made up on self-assembly particles for sensing applications

Projects
Spanish researchers from the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) have formed highly-porous metal-organic framework particles that spontaneously assemble into well-ordered 3D superstructures that present photonic crystal properties. Their discoveries are expected to find applications in the design of novel photonic materials for sensing applications, among others.

DOC-FAM COFUND program, training in functional advanced materials

Projects
The first Call of DOC-FAM COFUND programme (DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials) is open until 30th November 2017. It is coordinated by the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC).

Manufacturing antimicrobial fabrics and devices at industrial scale

Projects
A European project involving the Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM) of the CSIC, and led by the Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya (UPC), will introduce on the market an ultrasound technology for industrial production of fabrics and surfaces coated with antimicrobial nanoparticles.

The first electric superconducting generator for medium power wind turbines

Projects
This prototype is the first in the world designed to be used in medium-power wind turbines. The use of superconducting materials simplifies the system, obtaining greater reliability and greater efficiency thus reducing maintenance needs. It is a project developed by scientists at the CSIC and the company Gamesa Innovation and Technology,

Three projects in electronics and biomedicine, funded by the ERC Consolidator Grants

Projects
Scientists at the Institute of Science of Materials of the CSIC start three groundbreaking projects aimed at developing hybrids which join cell and devices, at studying flexoelectricity and obtaining radioactive materials smaller than human cells for cancer treatment.

Moisture resistant self-lubricant coating for aerospace applications

Projects
Researchers of the CSIC at the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS)have developed a new material which reduces friction and is ideal for lubrication of components aimed to work in vacuum or space applications.

Nanoselect: nanotechnology for the challenges in energy and communications

Projects
Nanoselect, a project led by the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Barcelona (ICMAB), has recently finished. It was aimed at providing new solutions for the challenges in energy efficiency and ICT sectors. This video shows the goal of the project and the results.

Latest trends in batteries

Projects
The International Battery Association meeting will take place in Barcelona next March, from the 10th to the 15th. It will congregate scientists working on batteries as well as companies and students from over the world.
