This is the way nature benefits us and the way climate change will affect us
10/11/2019Being able to rely on scientific evidence and tools to manage forecasts is a key factor to improving the status of nature on the planet and to protecting and using ecosystems sustainably, so vital for modern-day and future societies. For a long time, the scientific community...
Progress in the enabling of THz technology for matter manipulation
10/02/2019In this review, published in Physics Reports and in which the Ikerbasque Researcher from DIPC Alexey Nikitin took part, they analyze known studies dealing with the transformation, control and engineering with strong-field few-cycle THz light and outline some anticipated new results....
New methodology to produce double‐walled carbon nanotubes
08/21/2019The group at POLYMAT lead by the Ikerbasque researcher Koke Mateo in an international collaboration has reported a wall-selective synthetic methodology to produce double-walled carbon nanotubes. Such coaxial carbon nanotubes have been prepared in two steps by subliming a nitrogen-rich polycyclic...
Advances in understanding congenital heart defects
08/01/2019A new study published in the scientific journal Nature reveals molecular factors that determine the fate of specific cardiac stem cells and exposes mechanisms of disrupted cardiac development. This study provides a new framework for investigating congenital heart defects. These results stem from...
Astrocytes control mapping of synaptic connections and memories
07/23/2019Human brain has roughly 100 billion neurons and about the same number of glia cells, which have been traditionally considered to be playing a support role for neurons. Neurons are connected through synaptic connections which involve the participation of presynaptic and...
