Within the framework of the European project, which brings together 14 research centers, companies and Law Enforcement Agencies, the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) has contributed to the development of new techniques and tools that have allowed the forensic analysis of 400 smartphones in real criminal cases.

César Fernández-Sánchez, researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC), participates in another project focused on the development of a tool for the mass diagnosis of malaria, led by the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute. The ”la Caixa” Foundation promotes research in biomedicine and health in Spain and Portugal through a call funded with 25.3 million euros.

The technology of these smart patches that generate energy through sweat to analyze this fluid was developed at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona of the CSIC (IMB-CNM-CSIC). The technology provides information on the composition of sweat, a parameter that allows to know the tendency to dehydration of athletes and, on the other hand, to screen patients with cystic fibrosis.

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) participates in a project to improve the monitoring of fermentation and aging of Catalan wine farms through sensors and chips. The sensorization of wineries seeks to improve the economic performance of farms and better cope with the effects of climate change in the coming decades.

The system of state research networks receives new funding within the framework of the Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica 2021-2023. Nanolito, SustainableNano and Micronanofabs are three of the financed networks in which the research staff of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) participate.

The JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) mission took off from French Guiana on Friday, planning to make detailed observations of Jupiter and three of its largest moons on a journey that will take eight years.

Researchers from the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona participate in WOW-2D, an industrial research project in collaboration between companies and research organizations, to set the strategic lines in the field of integrated photonics.

Small, mid-sized and large enterprises join forces with RTOs to develop state-of-the-art technological solutions in electronic components and systems. R&D includes sensors, related integration, software, connectivity, and data management. Focus on safety, security, and reliability R&D as well as on autonomous movement and robotics platforms.
