Researchers have successfully developed a method to use avocado waste as a liquid-binding agent in a new study in the field of circular economy with potential applications across industries such as cosmetics and food.
Formula studied for a type of grout capable of "self-repairing" cracks in large buildings
Escrito por UCC+i
A UCO team analyzes how the incorporation of crystalline admixtures, whose ability to seal cracks can reduce risks and maintenance needs in post-tensioning systems, affects their composition
A new, more economical and sustainable material is designed that uses sunlight to decontaminate the air
Escrito por UCC+i
The Chemical Institute for Energy and the Environment (IQUEMA) has designed a new compound to remove nitrogen oxides, which constitutes a step towards the development of a system to purify the air under real conditions
More energy and more oil: photovoltaic plants and hedgerow olive groves are more productive on the same land
Escrito por UCC+i
A model developed by the University of Cordoba simulates the interaction between solar collectors and crops at an “agrivoltaic” plant, proving that the two activities are more efficient when conducted jointly, as they create synergies
A new plasma-based technological design boosts graphene production by more than 22%
Escrito por UCC+i
A UCO study manages to optimize the energy yield of the graphene synthesis process by building a Faraday cage around a plasma torch. The process, which has already been registered for evaluation as a patent, could be an important step towards the industrial-scale production of one of the most promising materials in recent years
