Department of Chemistry researcher Albert Rimola has been awarded a Consolidator Grant by the ERC, which recently expanded the number of grants awarded to include 17 more projects. Rimola will be working on the QUANTUMGRAIN project, whose aim is to reveal the chemistry of interstellar...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used as antibacterial agents for the manufacture of textile materials with microbicidal properties. Researchers from the UAB Department of Chemistry, have satisfactorily stabilized these silver...
The synthesis and characterization of different crystalline materials and synthetic biology allow for obtaining porous materials with different metals, such as copper (Cu) or zinc (Zn). Researchers from the UAB have studied the role of...
A few years ago, the use of highly fluorinated stabilizers for the preparation of metal nanoparticles did not seem appropriate. However, researchers from the UAB Chemistry Department showed the possibility of preparing and stabilizing...
Polibenzoxazines are polymers usually prepared by heating benzoxazine monomers at high temperatures. However, this process represents a high energetic cost. That’s why the UAB Chemistry Department have created a...
Professor Robert Huber, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1988 and honorary doctor of the UAB, has made important contributions to further in the understanding of the structure and functioning of biological macromolecules. He offered the conference “The Century of Vision: Protein Structures for Drug Research” on 13...
For the first time, researchers of the Composting Research Group (GICOM) have achieved flower aromas of roses, hyacinths or jasmine from agroindustrials residues using solid-state fermentation technology (SSF) and microorganisms that have the ability to transform...
From the Chemistry Department of the UAB, has been studied the reactivity of ligands with Cu(II) to form supramolecular structures held by weak interactions as well as compounds with pores or channels in their interior, to be used as porous materials.
ESIgen is a web application that allows to create computational chemistry job reports in an fully automated way. Through its multiple templates, Supporting Information documents can be automagically generated, as well as technical reports suitable for...
Such as Transformers, the living robotic beings that have the ability to change their bodies at will, rearranging their parts from a...
