Research and development in the field of micro- and nanoelectronics are looking for new ways to manufacture and develop systems to ensure their sustainability in the coming decades. Researcher Tomás Palacios has listed the main challenges of these disciplines in an online conference organized by the IMB-CNM of CSIC.

The 16th Festa de la Ciència was held on June 10th and 11th at the Rambla Prim in Barcelona. IMB-CNM staff came with three different activities to demonstrate that micro- and nanoelectronics are fundamental to understand the technological progress of the last century and to understand today's society.

The center brings three activities of scientific culture to the 16th Festa de la Ciència, organized by the Barcelona City Council, which this year will be held on the Rambla de Prim. The event is the largest science outreach event for all audiences in Barcelona and will take place on the weekend of June 10 and 11.

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona extends the deadline for submitting proposals for the microelectronics contest "Un microchip muy grande" until the end of June and the awards ceremony will be held at the beginning of September.

“La revolució silenciosa”, the itinerant exhibition of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC), moves to the FAB Casa del Mig – Punt Multimedia, located in the Parc de l’Espanya Industrial of the Barcelona neighborhood of Sants. From May 26 to June 28, it will be possible to enjoy a didactic exhibit about microelectronics and learn about the transistor, the small protagonist that has led to the current digital revolution.

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) inaugurates today the exhibition "La Revolució Silenciosa" at Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona (ETSETB-UPC). Until 19th May, visitors will be able to learn about the evolution of transistor and microelectronics in its more than 75 years of life.

The researcher from the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona will test a Martian battery based on iron compounds and urine in Hypatia I, a mission of women scientists at the Mars Desert Research Station.

The IMB-CNM organizes different initiatives to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science this 2023. For yet another year, it is celebrated with the organization of talks open to everyone, internal events and talks by scientists in schools to approach them as references in the classroom.
