IMB-CNM research staff publishes an exhaustive experimental review of inks, paper substrates and printing techniques, with the aim of offering a guide with data for the scientific community to facilitate the design of printed devices and their ecological manufacture.
An international group, in collaboration with the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona of the CSIC (IMB-CNM-CSIC), is involved in the development of nanotherapies against cancer using externally controlled nanocapsules. The first results of magnetoplasmonic iron nanocapsules to combat tumors have been obtained in the preclinical phase in mice.
Teams from the University of Barcelona, IQAC-CSIC, IMB-CNM-CSIC and INMA (CSIC-UNIZAR) design a new method to detect viral RNA. The methodology is effective and faster than the PCR test. It can also be applied to identify other viral pathogens that cause serious diseases in the population.
The technology company Inbrain, co-founded by CSIC researchers, develops neural implants to decode brain signals and treat diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson's. New report on the IMB-CNM in the CSIC Investiga magazine
The CSIC collaborates in the European project iRel40, together with BSHE, Politecnico di Milano, Fraunhofer and Infineon, among others, for the development of a new generation of more reliable and robust induction cooktops. The IMB-CNM-CSIC is in charge of improving the qualification tests of power devices and determining why destructive events occur. The improvement of the protocols in the evaluation of components for power electronics and to improve their useful life are also sought.
A CSIC and BCMaterials team leads the development of a nature-inspired battery that can be biodegraded at the end of its lifetime following the natural cycle of a plant. The work proporses a new paradigm of sustainable batteries that follow the lifecycle of the devices they power.
The IMB is home to an exceptional infrastructure: the largest clean room in southern Europe, a hyper-clean environment for manufacturing everything from integrated circuits to photonic and quantum chips.
Researchers have designed cell-sized mechanical devices that can be introduced into cells and prevent them from dividing. The development of these devices paves the way for research and treatment of diseases such as cancer
