Scientists at CSIC have developed a method that enables obtaining a corneal topographic map in less than a second. Compared to current technologies, the new technology is faster and has higher resolution and exactitude. Besides ophthalmology, it can be used in other sectors, like microelectronics or biomedicine. The method can measure surface's profiles at shorter distances than current technologies, without touching the object, which prevents any possible harm. It can get the measures even if the object is within a liquid.

Scientists at the CSIC and at the Universidad de Vigo have developed nanoparticles able to identify almost any substance or molecule, such as drugs, pathogens, pollutants or cells. The particles could be also used as markers to track objects or molecules, to ‘follow’ and detect them through different detection techniques.

A new technology to build tridimensional acoustic lenses that makes possible to obtain 3D images through ultrasounds hs been developed. It can be applied to medical imaging, or as non-destructive way of seeing the inside of non transparent objects, such as bridges, ships structures o plain wings. Also, it can be used to develop a non-invasive scalpel.
