NextGem, a European project to monitor and assess radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and health

Projects
The main objective is to ensure the safety of citizens from existing and future telecommunications technologies based on electromagnetic fields. They have developed software to model the distribution of electromagnetic fields in organisms and predict their impact on the body. By means of biological experiments, scientists study the effects of radio frequency exposure on proteins, cells and organisms, and also are developing portable sensors to measure intensity of electromagnetic fields. Fifteen months after the start of the project, which involves the ICMAB-CSIC, the participants have met in Greece to show the first results.

Scientists develop an affordable artificial intelligence tool to improve the production of SMEs

Technological offers
The CSIC and the Polytechnic University of Madrid have developed a software based on machine learning techniques to generate useful information and intelligent recommendations to optimise production processes. This affordable software has been created within the framework of a European project to give SMEs access to this type of tools.

The CSIC’s Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room achieves ISO9001 quality certification

Laboratories
The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) receives this seal for the processes involved in the design, development and production of microelectronic devices in the Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room. This certification puts it on a par with other European laboratories, such as the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory in Portugal or the Technical University of Denmark.

Autofocus, real-time and selfcalibrating 3D ultrasonic imaging system developed

Technological offers
The CSIC has developed an ultrasounds system for the non-destructive evaluation of components and materials, which can obtain three-dimensional, autofocused images in real time, even in the case of composite materials (composites) with complex geometry. It is particularly useful for testing composites and has applications in aeronautics, high-performance automotive and similar fields.

The Converge hub is born to connect researchers with companies and boost open innovation

Projects
This CSIC initiative is a space for scientists, companies and social agents to innovate and co-create. It has four programmes: an open innovation programme that fosters collaboration between companies and research centres; a programme to identify and accelerate projects for the creation of new companies; a space for sharing R&D&I needs and challenges in the field of public services and public procurement of innovation; and a programme for the creation of chairs as a way for companies to sponsor CSIC research lines.

CSIC researchers will develop a software to analyze electronic devices and improve cybersecurity

Projects
The CSIC's Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) leads the technical section of the development of a software that will allow access to the information stored in a chip. The objective of the ForRES project, financed with more than 2 million euros, is to improve the digital forensic analysis of electronic devices.

Hydrogen generation by electrolysis of water with low energy consumption and high efficiency

Technological offers
The CSIC and the Polytechnic University of Valencia have developed an electrohydrolysis system to obtain hydrogen with an innovative electrode structure. It maximises the reaction, reducing the voltage required and the energy consumption of the reaction.

Scientists and companies join forces to 'teach' AI to explain itself

Projects
The European H2020 project NL4XAI addresses the question of how the quality of algorithms in the emerging field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), i.e. machines capable of justifying and reasoning their decisions, should be assessed. The aim is to train the first generation of experts in this field.

Vanadium battery prototype for large-scale electrical energy storage

Projects
The prototype, a 10 kW redox flow battery demonstrator, paves the way towards a 50 kW flow battery. It has been developed by CSIC's PTI TrasnEner+ Interdisciplinary Thematic Platform, which is working to develop large-scale energy storage technologies for stationary applications.
