• El Grupo de Nanobiomecánica de CIC nanoGUNE estudia la evolución de proteínas resucitadas de más de 4.000 millones de años

• Investiga los efectos de las fuerzas mecánicas en proteínas implicadas enenfermedades como las infecciones víricas y bacterianas o el infarto de miocardio

• Uno de los objetivos es ofrecer nuevo conocimiento que pueda ayudar en el desarrollo de nuevos fármacos

• El Grupo Nanoimaging de CIC nanoGUNE muestra sus tres microscopios singulares capaces de ver y manipular átomos
•  Uno de ellos es el único en el mundo que permite medir propiedades electrónicas, mecánicas y ópticas a escala atómica
•  La investigación llevada a cabo por el grupo busca sentar las bases para la electrónica del futuro

The 2nd nanoIKER Workshop took place at Tecnalia Headquarters in the Science & Technology Park of Bizkaia on June 10, 2013.

Marco Gobbi, Pre-doctoral researcher at the Nanodevices Group, got his Doctor Degree at the University of The Basque Country (UPV/EHU) after the defense of his thesis project on Friday 24 May 2013. His research work achieved the maximum qualification (cum laude) after the defense and assessment of his work by an international committee that included leading researchers in the field of nanodevices.

• Simune ayudará a las empresas a resolver problemas tecnológicos ahorrando tiempo y costes

• El grupo de Teoría de nanoGUNE será el responsable del servicio, que estará enfocado inicialmente al sector energético y de la electrónica

Starting on 1 February, Dr. Raul Perez-Jimenez, coming from Columbia University (USA), has taken on his new responsabilities as Ikerbasque Research Professor and Leader of the Nanobiotechnology Group at nanoGUNE.

Semiconductor Science and Technology has selected Mato Knez’s review on Diffusion phenomena in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) as a highlight of 2012. The magazine’s annual selection by the Editorial Board “represents the breadth and excellence of the work published in 2012. All articles were selected for their presentation of outstanding research, popularity with their online readership and high praise from referees”.

Nanotechnology highlights nanoGUNE’s Self-Assembly Group’s research as the “Publisher’s Pick”. A feature about the original paper has been published at the “Lab talk” section and an interview to José María Alonso has been included.

A team of CIC nanoGUNE researchers has participated in the development of a new technology that will enable the environmental impact to be minimized. The work has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Materials.
