A new way to decontaminate water and gas with a new 3D extra-large pore zeolite
An extra-large pore silica zeolite from a silicate chain developed
24-Jan-2023
An international team of researchers with the participation of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has created the most porous stable zeolite known to date, a new pure silica zeolite called ZEO-3. This zeolite was formed by an unprecedented topotactic condensation of a 1D silicate chain ...
Structure of a metal-organic material with applications in the fields of health care and communications determined
A study with the participation of CSIC shows that copper escuarate contains large empty channels of high porosity
16-Sep-2022
A research team with the participation of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has determined the crystalline structure of copper squarate, a metal-organic material. The scientists have discovered that, as in other materials of this type, it contains large empty channels that give it ...
The saliva of the wax moth contains enzymes capable of degrading plastic
A team of CSIC researchers discovers that the saliva of this insect harbors enzymes that initiate the degradation of polyethylene in a short time
26-May-2022
A team of CSIC researchers has discovered that the saliva of the wax moth degrades plastic, which could have numerous applications in the treatment or recycling of plastic waste. This team discovered in 2017 that this species of worm (the lepidopteran Galleria mellonella) is capable of breaking ...
Halogens emitted from oceans amplify global warming of methane in the atmosphere
Iodine, bromine and chlorine transferred from the ocean have increased the lifetime and greenhouse effect of this gas by 6% to 9% over the century.
23-May-2022
An international team, led by researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has performed climate-related chemistry simulations to assess the impact of oceanic emissions of halogenated compounds (iodine, bromine and chlorine) on methane in the atmosphere, the second most ...
New system based on protonated ceramic membranes produces hydrogen industrially
An international team publishes a system that generates this universal fuel with almost no waste
25-Apr-2022
An international team involving the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), has developed a new electrified reactor to obtain hydrogen in a more sustainable and energy-efficient way. ...
CSIC presents its prototype vanadium battery for large-scale electrical energy storage
10 kW redox flow demonstrator paves the way for a 50 kW flow battery
01-Apr-2022
A team of CSIC researchers has developed a 10 kilowatt (kW) vanadium redox flow battery prototype to demonstrate its viability as a large-scale electrical energy storage system, especially for renewable energies. This 10 kW prototype (10 kW of power and 20 kWh of energy) makes it possible to ...
New, more sustainable catalyst developed for fine chemicals industry
Researchers optimize the production of benzimidazoles, organic compounds widely used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries
24-Mar-2022
A research group at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), has developed a process to obtain benzimidazoles, organic compounds widely used in the fine chemicals industry, in a ...
Portable and inexpensive stochastic lasers with applications in microscopy
This is the first time such lasers have been obtained using electrical power, according to a study published in 'Nature Photonics'
16-Feb-2022
Research led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has succeeded in developing a new technique for the fabrication of stochastic lasers using electrical power, as described in Nature Photonics. Conventional lasers are characterized by emitting a coherent beam of light, in a direction ...
Study shows that ingestion of microplastics alters gut microbiota
CSIC researchers have discovered that the digestion of microplastics can decrease the amount of beneficial bacteria present in the colon.
11-Feb-2022
A group of researchers from the CSIC has discovered that the ingestion of microplastics reduces the bacterial diversity of the microbiota of the colon, in addition to producing an alteration of the balance in the microorganisms present. The study, published in Scientific Reports, has shown that ...
