Development of an open architecture system to detect radiological and nuclear threats at low cost

The European NEST project, with the participation of CSIC, has culminated in the creation of a sensor technology that makes it possible to respond to nuclear, biological and chemical alerts in real time, safely and economically. The open architecture, which allows the modular use of the system with any type of sensor, has been developed taking into account ethical considerations and has been approved by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization.

Innovative methodology to ecodesign sustainable batteries that adapt to product life cycle

The conscious selection of materials and low-impact manufacturing techniques are key to facilitate end-of-life management and ensure the sustainability of the power source. A team from the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) and BCMaterials lays the foundations of this methodology through the design of a recyclable battery with paper and cardboard for smart packaging.
