On the occasion of International Clean Energy Day, the institute highlights four key initiatives in energy storage technologies, power converters and thermoelectric microgenerators, reinforcing its commitment to a sustainable future

The company will test this technology, patented by IMB-CNM-CSIC researchers, which will allow the installation of sensors that are self-powered by vibrations and movement converted into electrical energy.

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) is coordinating a new European project that aims to revolutionize the energy landscape and contribute to the European Union's green goals. It focuses on the deployment of new next-generation DC medium-voltage converters, more efficient than current AC converters, and essential for the integration of renewable energies

Within the framework of the European SCAPE project, the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona is researching and developing new proposals for the integration of power electronic circuits in electric vehicles. For power converters, they have developed a novel modular, scalable and compact structure, which reduces costs and improves performance. All in a more sustainable process

The European NEST project, with the participation of CSIC, has culminated in the creation of a sensor technology that makes it possible to respond to nuclear, biological and chemical alerts in real time, safely and economically. The open architecture, which allows the modular use of the system with any type of sensor, has been developed taking into account ethical considerations and has been approved by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization

The “Workshop on Technologies & Applied Research at the Future Valencian Proton-Therapy Facility” took place at the end of February in Valencia. It brought together the main agents and research groups involved in proton therapy research in Spain and Europe. Consuelo Guardiola, researcher at IMB-CNM, was a member of the Organizing Committee leading the contribution of the institute to the sessions

Funded by the Program Interreg Sudoe of the European Union, it brings together institutions and companies from Spain, Portugal, France and the Principality of Andorra, with the collaboration of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona. They will work on the development of devices that measure meteorological and environmental parameters relevant to fire risk assessment by municipalities and local communities in high fire risk areas.

The newly established collaboration pursues developments in the field of solid-state radiation detectors. The initiative brings together over 130 institutes worldwide and comprises 900 physicists.
