Passport to the UPC
-
Liquids and solids at the same time?

-
Noiseless, vibration-free buildings?
- Is it possible to predict the acoustic consequences of structural design in the fields of construction and civil engineering? How are noise and vibrations transmitted?
-
Bacteria that can cause miscarriages?
- How can a type of bacteria commonly found in wet environments, such as pools, cause a miscarriage? How do pregnant women become infected?
-
Hydrogen-producing plants?
- Is it possible to obtain hydrogen from a chemical reaction? The UPC uses catalysts with nanometric particles to obtain hydrogen from renewable fuels.
-
Waterpoof and fireproof cardboard?
- A new, highly resistant, mouldable, porous material that is both fireproof and waterproof and is made out of recycled paper and cardboard: a glimpse of the future? The UPC has already created it.
-
A virtual assistant to fight tumours?
- The UPC is designing an intelligent system to provide support for the diagnosis of brain tumours in order to help doctors improve diagnoses in clinical oncology.
-
Will mobile coverage problems soon become a thing of the past?
- The UPC is leading a European project to create the technology of future mobile networks: WiMax and LTE.
-
At the frontier of Moore’s Law?
- How can a single chip perform trillions of operations per second? Will Moore’s Law hold? The UPC is leading a European project to design the computer memory of the future.
-
Satellites to study climate change?
- The European Space Agency launched the SMOS satellite in November 2009. Researchers from the UPC monitor its sensors. The mission, the first to be led by Spain, will enable more precise forecasts regarding climate change.
