A  project coordinated by Prof. Galán-Mascarós is awarded €8m by the European Comission. The A-LEAF project will develop transferrable technologies that will be a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The artificial leaf will combine the expertise of ICIQ and 12 more partner institutions from 8 different countries, including leading industrial partner COVESTRO. The main goal […]

The group of Professor Núria López has published a paper in Nature Materials explaining how massive simulations prove that certain surfaces are more disordered than previously thought. Surface terminations are responsible for the chemical and physical properties of materials. Understading them is also key to predict their behaviour so they can be tuned to our […]

Another Science Week went by. What follows is a taste of the events in which ICIQ researchers have been involved. They all cared about getting science -and of course, chemistry- closer to the public. They did their best to share their passion for science and to encourage youngsters in pursuing a research career. As clear […]

A paper published by Miquel A. Pericàs et al. in ACS Catalysis has been selected as ACS Editors’ Choice. The paper is now an open access article. With ACS Editors’ Choice, ACS offers free public access to new research of importance to the global scientific community. These peer-reviewed, open access articles consist of research that […]

On Friday 28th October, Cayetana Zárate, PhD student in Prof. Ruben Martin’s group, received one of the three Lilly awards 2016 for outstanding doctoral students. The awards ceremony took place at Lilly headquarters in Alcobendas (Madrid), during the “5th Lilly Chemistry Symposium.” Cayetana had the opportunity to present her recent discoveries in the field of […]
