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.

El Grupo de Nanoingeniería de nanoGUNE ha desarrollado una nueva tecnología que permite el monitoreo no invasivo y continuo de los riesgos fisiológicos de los bebés durante el parto en tiempo real. La tecnología ayuda a los obstetras a tomar decisiones rápidas y, por lo tanto, a reducir el creciente número de cesáreas en todo el mundo.

Under the Guest Editorship of nanoGUNE’s Research Director Dr. Andreas Berger, the Journal of Physics D – Applied Physics just published the 2020 Magnetism Roadmap.

La iniciativa "Emakumeak Zientzian" ha sido reconocida con el sello STEAM Euskadi por el Gobierno Vasco por fomentar la educación STEAM en Euskadi. 

Researchers from the Nanooptics Group at CIC nanoGUNE demonstrate that nanoscale infrared imaging – which is established as a surface-sensitive technique – can be employed for chemical nanoidentification of materials that are located up to 100 nm below the surface. The results further show that the infrared signatures of thin surface layers differ from that of subsurface layers of the same material, which can be exploited to distinguish the two cases. The findings, recently published in Nature Communications, push the technique one important step further to quantitative chemometrics at the nanoscale in three dimensions.

CIC nanoGUNE, el Centro de Investigación Cooperativa en Nanociencias, y CIKATEK, la unidad de I+D+i de CIKAUTXO, trabajan conjuntamente para la obtención de caucho de alto valor añadido mediante la aplicación de la nanotecnología.

GraphenePioneer se hace con la 1ª convocatoria Global Graphene Call que pretende impulsar proyectos empresariales relacionados con el grafeno. La misión de GraphenePioneer es impactar en la sociedad con la producción de materiales todavía desconocidos con grafeno.

CIC nanoGUNE coordina el proyecto SPEAR que persigue estudiar nuevos materiales para la próxima generación de memorias y procesadores para computación, junto a cinco instituciones académicas (CEA-Francia, ETH Zuric-Suiza, IMEC-Belgica, U. Hamburg - Alemania, Martin Luther University Halle –Alemania) y tres empresas (ANTAIOS-Francia, QZabre-Suiza, NanOsc-Suecia ) de la Unión Europea.

The publication entitled ‘Resurrection of efficient Precambrian endoglucanases for lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis’ has been featured in a themed collection put together by Communications Chemistry that showcases a selection of the Structural Biology, Biocatalysis, and Bioconjugation Research published in the journal.
