Researchers from ICMM-CSIC and CINN-CSIC demonstrate the potential of kaolin for new applications with great social and technological impact
Kaolin is the most important clay mineral with an annual production of more than 300.000 metric tons in Spain, being one of the European Union countries with the largest and low-cost mining deposits (Galicia, Asturias, Castilla-León, Aragón, etc.). The results of this work, carried out by Sonia López-Esteban, José F. Bartolomé and Jesús Sanz from […]
Desarrollo científico de la mano de la microscopía
El investigador del CINN Dimas G. de Oteyza impartirá una charla el próximo lunes 3 de Octubre bajo el título “Desarrollo científico de la mano de la microscopía” en el Club de Prensa Asturiana de La Nueva España (Oviedo).La charla comenzará a las 19:30h y forma parte del ciclo Charlas Otoño CSIC Asturias que organiza […]
An international team with participation of CINN implements protection/deprotection strategies for the on-surface synthesis of technologically prominent graphene nanostructures
In the last decades, a new synthetic approach has been developed, generally termed as “on-surface synthesis” that substantially departs from standard wet-chemistry. Instead of the three-dimensional space of solvents in the latter, the environment of the reactants in this new approach are well-defined two-dimensional solid surfaces that are typically held under vacuum conditions. These differences […]
Researchers develop an innovative strategy to focus infrared light into the nanoscale
Focusing of light into the nanoscale represents a landmark for the implementation of nanotechnology in optics and biochemistry. Based on the exotic propagation of light in highly anisotropic materials (where light propagates in the form of rays along specific directions), a research team led by the University of Oviedo has demonstrated the focusing of infrared […]
