Researchers from the Department of Physics explore a series of transformations in quantum states occurring outside the linear world which only need a source of non-Gaussian states and simple linear operations. This framework may have an effect on future...
The nitrogen contained in ammonia is an essential nutrient for life, but when deposition exceeds the processing capacity of ecosystems it becomes an environmental threat. Researchers at the UAB have determined the critical level for ammonia...
A study conducted by the UAB Department of Medicine and the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital analyses the effects a high-calorie breakfast early in the morning has on the satifaction and sense of well-being after eating a mid-morning snack...
A study conducted by the universities Pablo de Olavide and the UAB’s group Neuro-Com has identified, in rats, a functional brain pattern linked to cognitive behavior able to activate an iPad’s touchscreen. Results may be useful in...
Snails are known for their interesting ability to accumulate and detoxify heavy metals. They have the ability to accumulate cadmium (a very toxic element) in a way that is innocuous when captured by metallothioneins, a family of proteins. Researchers from...
Some of the memories currently used in electronic devices are based on ferroelectric insulating materials that permit non-volatile storing of information. However, they contain toxic oxides, such as lead-compounds. Researchers from the ICMAB-CSIC have replaced these...
At the end of the Neolithic Era there was a coexistence of several funerary practices in the Iberian Peninsula: sepulchral caves, megalithic monuments and open-air pit...
Researchers from Computer Vision Center (CVC) and Digestive Endoscopy Unit from Hospital Clinic de Barcelona have jointly developed image processing tools which allow an automatic...
Researchers from the UAB have analysed over one thousand public primary education schools in Catalonia to study what motivates parents to choose a particular school. They have also studied how this election influences the quality...
The Proteomics Laboratory CSIC/UAB has developed a method for large-scale protein digestion (LFASP) and demonstrated the applicability of this method to the study of the ubiquitinome. LFASP is currently being used to investigate ubiquitinome...
