Researchers from the Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIC-UPV) develop a new system to produce hydrogen
An international team of scientists, in which the Institute of Chemical Technology ( ITQ, a mixed centre of the CSIC and the Polytechnic University of Valencia) participates, has developed a new electrified reactor to obtain hydrogen in a more sustainable and...
Subsidies for encouraging translation into foreign languages
The Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport has opened the invitation to apply for subsidies to finance the cost of translating literary (both classical and contemporary), or scientific works into foreign languages. These works must either have been published by Spanish...
Spanish and British scientists discover what prevents the immune system from working normally

European Research Council selects for funding 46 Spanish research projects
The European Research Council (ERC) is the first pan-European funding body for frontier research. The ERC's mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all...
Researchers from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (CSIC-University of Valencia) measure for the first time the mass of one of the basic constituents of matter with the help of the Higgs boson
The standard model of particle physics, the theory that best describes the visible matter in the universe, predicts that many of the properties of particles have different values depending on the energy at which they are observed. This also occurs with the mass of...
Spanish and German researchers devise a new strategy to introduce substances into the cell
An international team including researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela has described a mechanism to bring bioactive agents into the cell using boron compounds that are capable of disordering water molecules and dehydrating the load they carry. In...
