MACROM Group: The MACROM group works in the area of understanding the three-dimensional structure of biomolecules by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques to study the structure of DNA and its interactions with drugs, ions and proteins.
Algorithms to forecast natural disasters?: The IMPRINTS project arose from an initiative of the European Union that to improve warning and prevention systems for flash floods and debris-flow events. The research consists is the development of computational models for hydrological purposes.
Passport to the UPC
Liquids and solids at the same time?: Disordered systems are found throughout nature, and there is no theory to describe them. How do the molecules of a liquid move as they cool? The UPC is studying the structure of liquids.
How do materials react to fire?: What is a fire lab? What new construction materials are being researched? The UPC is using computer simulation to achieve safer, more sustainable buildings.
An underground that never breaks down?: Is it possible to predict mechanical and electrical failures in the motors of Barcelona’s underground? A team of young entrepreneurs has designed an artificial intelligence system to do just that.
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.
Algorithms to improve freight transport?: The UPC has developed an algorithm that is able to optimise freight delivery for courier companies, reducing their costs by 7% to 12%.
Electric airplanes?: The UPC is researching how the motor that moves an airplane’s ailerons works. The goal is to create safer, cleaner airplanes: the airplanes of the future?
Semi-solid casting of metal parts?: Aluminium die-casting processes have evolved with a view to improving the manufacturing of high-performance structural parts. What is sub-liquidus casting?
Simulations to predict phenomena on a nanometric scale?: Computer simulations allow us to perform virtual tests that cannot be performed experimentally, but can we develop computational models and techniques to predict the behaviour of nanomaterials or proteins? It might not be such a harebrained idea.
Recyclable tyres?: About 3.4 million tonnes of used tyres are generated in Europe each year. Although the material they are made of is not biodegradable, it has certain properties of interest to the scientific community, which is seeking new ways to recycle it.
