Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE BRTA (San Sebastian, Spain), in collaboration with the Donostia International Physics Center (San Sebastián, Spain) and the University of Oviedo (Spain) employed a spectroscopic nanoimaging technique to study how infrared nanolight - in form of phonon polaritons - and molecular vibrations interact with each other. The images reveal that vibrational strong coupling can be achieved, which is a phenomenon that recently attracts wide attention for its potential use to control fundamental physical and chemical material properties. The result could lead the development of a novel platform for on-chip chemical identification of tiny amounts of molecules and for studying fundamental aspects of strong coupling phenomena on the nanometer scale. The work has been published in Nature Photonics (DOI: 10.1038/s41566-020-00725-3).

Donostiako CIC nanoGUNEk eta AEG Berrikuntza Profesionalerako Eskolak elkarlanean dihardute material iraunkorren bidez ehun-jantziak lortzeko.

CIC nanoGUNEko hiru ikerketa-proiektu hautatu dituzte Europako FET Open deialdian (Future and Emerging Technologies). FET Open ekimenen helburua da lankidetzan egindako arrisku handiko ikerketa zientifiko eta teknikoko proiektu handiak indartzea. Teknologia berriak sortzeko proiektuak dira.

Emilio Artacho buru duen nanoGUNEko Teoria taldeak ESC2RAD proiektu europarrean buru-belarri dihardu, hobeto ulertzeko zer kalte egiten dieten eguzki-erradiazioek eta kosmikoek astronautei, espazio-ontziei eta sateliteen eguzki-panelei.

CIC nanoGUNE eta Astilleros Balenciaga elkarlanean aritu dira tamaina ertaineko ontziak egiteko erabiltzen den ontzigintzako altzairuaren konformazio termikoak materialaren mikroegiturari ez diola kalterik egiten egiaztatzeko.

NanoGUNE's Theory group, led by Ikerbasque Professor Emilio Artacho, is contributing to the development of a new open-source modular software development paradigm called Electronic Structure Library (ESL), promoted by CECAM (the European Centre for Atomic and Molecular Calculations).

Equality is a cross-cutting issue that must be worked out from many different fields and should be addressed from different perspectives. NanoGUNE has made the first steps to work consciously and systematically on the issue of gender equality, developing a diagnosis of the situation in a report and also is working on the development of the first Gender-Equality Plan.

Erditzean haurren arrisku fisiologikoak uneoro denbora errealean kontrolatzeko aukera ematen duen teknologia berri ez-inbaditzaile bat garatu du nanoGUNEko Nanoingeniaritza Taldeak. Teknologia horrek erabaki azkarrak hartzen laguntzen die obstetrei, eta, horrenbestez, mundu osoan egiten diren zesarea kopurua gutxitzen.
