Judith Guasch is interviewed in Onda Cero Radio on 21 November 2020 in the programme "De cero al infinito" con Paco de León, to talk about her recent research on hydrogels to mimic lymph nodes for cancer immunotherapy.
The relationship between environmental factors and SARS-CoV-2 will shape the ways in which we respond to the virus as the weather changes. It is still soon to have a definitive idea of how it is affected by variables like temperature, humidity, or ultraviolet radiation, but José Vidal-Gancedo has been compiling what we know and developing a comprehensive article on the topic. His findings have been echoing on the media: he first published the article on La Vanguardia, which was followed by an interview on Aquí Cuní on SER Catalunya.
On 1 April 2020, the ICMAB researcher Ignasi Fina, from the Laboratory of Multifunctional Thin Films And Complex Structures (MULFOX) group, was interviewed in the radio show “La Buena Tarde”, broadcasted in Radio Asturias to talk about the flexible antiferromagnetic tapes. “La Buena Tarde” is a light variety show that discusses culture and science, with a few different collaborators on every episode.
On 26 March 2020, ICMAB researcher Nora Ventosa, from the Molecular Nanoscience and Organic Materials (NANOMOL) group, was interviewed in the radio show “La Nit dels Ignorants 3.0”, broadcasted in Catalunya Ràdio. “La Nit dels Ignorants 3.0” is a night time show that focuses on knowledge and company, both asking and answering public interest questions.
Teresa Puig was interviewed in the digital radio programme "Hablando con Científicos" by Ángel Rodríguez Lozano, to talk about superconducting materials and her recent ERC Proof of Concept Grant on the scale-up production of high-temperature superconducting tapes.
Jose Giner was interviewed in Onda Cero Vigo, in the program "La Mirilla" with Raquel Sánchez, for the nanotransformers discovery, the MOFs that can reversible go from 2D to 3D structures. If you want to discover what these materials are, listen to the podcast! Jose Giner is "el chef de los nanomateriales"!
On 19 December 2018, Nora Ventosa and the other new IEC numerary members were invited to the morning radio programme "El matí de Catalunya Ràdio" to participate in the roundtable "La Tertúlia" with Monica Terribas.
Teresa Puig was on November 15, 2018, on the radio! The program "La Nit Estèrica" from Terrassa Digital (95.2 FM) interviewed Teresa Puig, ICMAB researcher from Terrassa. They talked about superconducting materials and about the begining of Teresa Puig in the superconducting world, about her current projects, and many more things!
The radio program "Luciérnagas" interviewed José Giner from the Inorganic Materials and Catalysis Group (LMI) to talk about the recent paper publised in Advanced Materials on the flexible materials that switch from nano-porous 3D to 2D structures in a reversible way. Listen to the interview in this post:
ICMAB is the recipient of one of twelve MIT-Spain ”la Caixa” Foundation Seed Fund grants under a brand new funding programme in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The presentation of the grants took place on 18 April 2018 at Palau Macaya (Barcelona). A common objective of all the awarded projects is to face some of the challenges of the XXI century: organs on a chip to fight cancer, polymers against antibiotic resistance, in vitro biologic 3D ears, quantic computers for data processing, or new materials to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic cells, to name a few. This latter is the project from Dr. Ignasi Fina, from the MULFOX group at ICMAB, who will work together with Dr. Rafael Jaramillo, at MIT.

The radio programme "Tercer Harmònic" from Radio Kanal Barcelona is a science and technology outreach programme for the general public. Communications, radio, digital education, internet, social networks, etc. are some of the main topics. Ignasi Fina, from the MULFOX group, was at the programme on May 16, 2018, in the section "The materials of the future" to talk about antiferromagnetic materials.
Samsung ha suspès la venda del Galaxy Note 7 a tot el món. Després dels nous casos d’incendi de bateries d’aquest model, ahir ja va aturar la producció per segona vegada i, ara, n’han tornat a aturar les vendes. Ho justifiquen per garantir la seguretat dels usuaris.
El premi nobèl de física ha reconegut el treball dels investigadors britànics David Thoules, Duncan Haldane i Michael Kosterlitz per la seva recerca sobre nous estats de la matèria.
Divendres, 26-2-2016: Els reptes de les bateries, debat al programa "No ho sé" de RAC1 amb Rosa Palacín, sotsdirectora de l'ICMAB i Carles Garrigues, profesor en la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya
Interview at Radio Efervescencia (CRTVG) to Mariano Campoy-Quiles to talk about "low cost and flexible solar pannels". The interview is in Galician.
You can find the interview here, in the Blog CRTVG Efervesciencia: Efer 281 (19-4-14): Paneis solares flexibles e baratos
"A enerxía que chega do sol á terra nunha hora é abonda como para cubrir as necesidades enerxéticas de toda a humanidade durante un ano. Un dos motivos de por que non temos os nosos tellados inzados de paneis solares fotovoltaicos é que son caros en comparación con outras fontes de enerxía. Pero, que pasaría se aparecese unha nova tecnoloxía de fabricación de paneis solares que abaratase 10 veces o seu prezo? Nisto esta a traballar o noso invitado desta semana, Mariano Campoy, que é científico titular do CSIC no Instituto de Ciencia de Materiais de Barcelona."
