La Agencia Estatal de Investigación otorga sus sellos de excelencia “Severo Ochoa” y “Maria de Maeztu” a un total de siete centros y seis unidades de investigación que destacan por el impacto y relevancia internacional de sus resultados. NanoGUNE ha renovado su distinción “Maria de Maeztu” y contará con una financiación de 500.000 euros anuales durante los próximos cuatro años.

Researchers from the Nanodevices Group at CIC nanoGUNE demonstrate that they can control the polarization direction of a spin current without having to apply a magnetic field, which could aid in implementing energy-efficient spintronics devices. The work has been published in Physical Review Letters.

NanoGUNE has registered as a member of a new international platform: The Innovation Network for Advanced Materials (INAM).

The European Patent Office (EPO) has nominated former nanoGUNE researcher Marco Donolato as finalist in the "Research" category of the European Inventor Award 2021 for its invention “Magnetic nanoparticles to diagnose disease”, a patent registered in collaboration with nanoGUNE Ikerbasque Research Professor Paolo Vavassori and Professor Mikkel Fougt-Hansen, from Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The invention led to the creation of a novel testing device which detects infectious diseases within minutes, enabling medical staff to begin treatment immediately and potentially saving millions of lives in countries struggling with diseases such as dengue fever.

Mathias Charconnet, early stage researcher of the Nanoengineering Group at nanoGUNE, has defended his PhD thesis Today at the University of the Basque Country. 

Andoni Rodriguez-Abetxuko got the best PhD talk award in the Next Generation of Biocatalysis Symposium that took place in Bern & virtually on 27-28 May 2021. 

Jabier Larrañaga, Diputado de Economía, Turismo y Desarrollo Rural, y Jon Gurrutxaga, Director de Innovación e Internacionalización, han sido invitados a conocer de cerca la investigación de alto nivel y el desarrollo que realizamos en nanoGUNE.

Dr. Lorenzo Fallarino, researcher in CIC nanoGUNE´s Nanomagnetism group, has been recently invited by the Editorial Board of Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics to publish a Topical Review on "Graded Magnetic Materials" and separately, he was nominated to contribute to a special issue of the journal highlighting the accomplishments of Emerging Leaders in the field of Applied Physics. Both invited articles have now been published.

El investigador Ikerbasque Fèlix Casanova, el líder del grupo de Nanodispositivos de nanoGUNE, ha sido recientemente galardonado con el Premio Intel al Investigador Destacado 2020, por sus contribuciones en la tecnología MESO, una tecnología que mira a las necesidades de los dispositivos electrónicos del futuro.

Investigadores del CIC nanoGUNE, en colaboración con el Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) y la Universidad de Oviedo, emplearon una técnica de nanoimagen espectroscópica para estudiar cómo interactúan la nanoluz infrarroja -en forma de polaritones fonónicos- y las vibraciones moleculares. El trabajo ocupa ahora la portada del mes de marzo de la prestigiosa revista Nature Photonics.
