Two projects led by the IMB-CNM and the ICN2, awarded in the ‘Generació d’Idees’ competition

Projects
The RES-KIT project, “Genetic pen-site kit to detect antimicrobial resistance genes”, led by CSIC scientists at the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute (IMB-CNM), has been awarded with the second prize in the 2017 edition of ‘Generació d’Idees’. The first prize went to Nanoplastics, a project led by the Nanoscience research institute ICN2.

Artificial Intelligence algorithms for solidarity

Projects
Scientists at the CSIC’s Instituto de Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial have developed an app, uHelp, to facilitate the creation and strengthening of solidarity communities.

Optomechanical crystals to enable chaos-based secure data communications

Projects
Researchers from ICN2's Phononic and Photonic Nanostructures (P2N) Group published a study where the complex dynamics, including chaos, of optical nonlinearities are controlled by using optomechanical crystals and changing the parameters of the excitation laser. This discovery might allow the information to be coded by introducing chaos into the light carrying it.

New project will develop an automatic system for controlling radon indoors

Projects
An automatic and affordable system for monitoring radon indoors will be developed in the frame of the CARE project. The system, which can be controlled through an 'app' in the smart-phone, will have an easy-to-use version for homes and another for big installations.

BrainCom will develop a new generation of cortical implants for speech neural prostheses applications

Projects
BrainCom is a FET Proactive project, funded by the European Commission with 8.35M€ for the next 5 years. The kick-off meeting took place recently at the ICN2, one of the team leaders, and at the UAB university. The Microelectronics Institute of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) of the CSIC is one of the partners.

New project aims to lay the foundations of a new information technology

Projects
PHENOMEN is a project coordinated by the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2). It is at the intersection of photonics, radio frequency signal processing and phononics and proposes to build the first practical optically-driven phonon sources and detectors.

A European project will develop the technology of autonomous sources of energy

Projects
A European project will develop the technology of autonomous sources of energy With 36 partners and almost 100 million euros of budget, the project EnSo, “Energy for Smart Objects”, is aimed at developing autonomous microenergy sources for small devices. The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) is the only Spanish research center involved in the project.

Three CSIC’s ‘spin-off, awarded in the 5th edition of the “Fondo de Emprendedores”

Projects
Fuelium, Gnanomat and SiTerm are three of the projects awarded among 200 proposals applied to the Repsol’s “Fondo de Emprendedores”. The call is aimed at funding the most innovative company projects or ideas in the field of energy.

Optical biosensors for fast determination of toxicity in water

Projects
Scientists at the CSIC’s Microelectronics Institute of Barcelona are working in the development of biosensors for a quick control of water toxicity. These biosensors, which are not restricted to individual pollutants in the sample, can detect the synergy of all of them and enable controlling the general toxicity of water.
