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.

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.

"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."
