Unlike other systems, this device is made of two materials that react oppositely when in contact with each vapor. The response, visible as a change in color pattern, allows the detection of everything from alcohols to solvents present in the environment or in household products
The publication covers the CSIC's different strategies for advancing qubit-based technology, in which the IMB-CNM highlights three different approaches
Developed at the CSIC's Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, they have been successfully tested in standard LINAC radiotherapy accelerators. They offer promising capabilities for many applications, such as neutron dosimetry, radiation monitoring, nuclear safety, and scientific research
A study led by IMB-CNM presents extremely miniaturized piezoelectric microdevices capable of generating electrical signals without the need for wires or batteries, with the aim of stimulating individual cells. This is an advance towards the future of wireless, minimally invasive, and personalized medical therapies
The system, designed and manufactured by IMB-CNM-CSIC, is more resistant and economical than conventional dosimeters for measuring doses that could be administered in the new advanced radiotherapy modality called FLASH, which is still under development. Its efficiency has already been tested in basic research particle accelerators
IMB-CNM has created a portable and inexpensive device that detects viral RNA in 40 minutes, compared to the hours it takes for methods such as PCR testing. The instrument, tested to detect SARS-CoV-2, could be adapted to diagnose other infectious diseases, which, together with its portability and low cost, opens the door to its use in developing countries
A new method developed by researchers at IMB-CNM allows for high-precision, low-cost fabrication of semiconductor qubits, paving the way for industrial-scale quantum computing
The sensor developed by researchers at IMB-CNM enables the monitoring of sodium, potassium, and pH biomarkers to prevent the adverse effects of dehydration. It incorporates microfluidic elements that provide a constant flow of sweat to the sensor, allowing continuous data collection for over an hour
