Novel and sustainable photothermal catalytic method for synthesizing γ-valerolactone (GV with applications as biofuel, green solvent for the pharma industry, precursor for polymers and perfumery. The process utilizes biomass feedstocks and new scalable nickel-based catalysts that significantly reduce the energy requirements and avoiding H2 gas.
A protein domain has been identified with the ability to direct membrane proteins and polypeptides of interest to the zymogen granules of pancreatic cells.
Advanced tool designed to assess and manage zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) invasions in collective pressurized networks through hydraulic monitoring and simulation of the network.
The SPEI is a multi-scale drought index based on climate data that allows the objective quantification of the characteristics of drought episodes on a global scale.
Droughts demand more precise technologies to measure soil moisture. The solution uses a drone-mounted sensor that reaches 50 cm depth, with a spatial resolution of 20 m and coverage of 30 ha/hour. It enables monitoring of large areas, optimizing irrigation, and detecting water leaks with high efficiency.
New compounds to treat parasitic diseases such as Chagas disease, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasias. These derivatives act on a new target: G-cuadruplex DNA
Compounds useful as reversible visible-light-regulated antagonists for the localized and temporally restricted activation of beta-adrenoceptors, with application for the treatment of ocular diseases such as glaucoma.
Modified and optimized procedure for measuring thermal conductivity using LFA (Laser Flash Analysis). Includes software that enables precise measurement of thermal conductivity in ultrathin material layers (<0.1 mm)
Technology based on a novel fungal enzymatic activity expressed in a tunable system, designed for the controlled production of hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides with defined structures and bioactive functionality.
Innovative device incorporating a nanostructured composite material in one of its electrodes. This design enables up to a fivefold increase in power density compared to commonly used materials.
