The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) is publishing the White Papers of the 14 strategic themes established on the basis of their scientific impact and social importance. The IMB-CNM collaborates in some of them. Now, the CSIC is publishing in open access the White Paper of the fourth Challenge, New Challenges in Biomedicine and Health.

A work published in ACS Nano shows a method that will allow to study the near-surface thermal and compositional properties of self-assembled block copolymers and thereby reveal their intrinsic driving forces, contributing to the progress of bottom-up manufacturing.

New paper published in the journal IEEE Electron Device Letters by the ATDF members of the MESSI group in collaboration with the NANOCOMP group of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).

Two reviews from the Biomedical Applications Group at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, CSIC, summarise the latest efforts in organ-on-chip technologies to emulate in vitro microfluidic systems. These devices are an opportunity to evolve the fields of biofabrication and sensing technology.

The Review "Electrochemical Paper-Based Biosensor Devices for Rapid Detection of Biomarkers", signed by three Chemical Transducers Group members, published in the journal Sensors last year has been selected as Editor's Choice Article as noteworthy or likely to be of high interest to readers.

The study, published in Instrumentation Science & Technology, offers a low-cost analytical system with disposable sensors to follow the microbial metabolic activity.

New paper published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics by the Power Devices and Systems Group (PDS).

The Advanced Thin Dielectric Films Group (ATDF), led by Francesca Campabadal, has just published the last paper of the year in Applied Physics Letters. "Current transient response and role of the internal resistance in HfOx-based memristors" is the last publication of an IMB-CNM group in 2020.
