Tracking slow nanolight in natural hyperbolic metamaterial slabs

Researchers at CIC nanoGUNE (Basque Country) in collaboration with colleagues at ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Catalunya) have imaged how light moves inside an exotic class of matter known as "hyperbolic materials." ...

Ultrasensitive magnetoplasmonic sensors

Systems allowing label-free molecular-level detection are expected to have enormous impact on biochemical sciences. Research focuses on materials and technologies based on exploiting the coupling of light with electronic ...

New tools designed to achieve big fuel savings in fishing vessels

The 'GESTOIL' system is an economic, easy-to-operate piece of technology, and when actively used it enables significant fuel savings to be made. With this tool the skipper can from the bridge of the vessel see fuel consumption ...

Regenerative agriculture offering greater plant biodiversity

The European project LIFE REGEN FARMING, led by the Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development NEIKER-Tecnalia, is seeking to produce healthier, more fertile pastures that offer greater plant biodiversity. ...

A tool to improve the sustainability of the transport sector

Transport is responsible for a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, so the European Commission has developed various strategies and directives designed to reduce dependence on oil, and the transport gas emissions ...
