The CSIC launched the JAE Intro 2020: Introduction to research fellowships for University students. The objective of this program is to introduce students to research activity in diverse scientific areas and to enable them to be in contact with CSIC research centres. Three projects are offered by N&N Group. The call is open from 9 March to 9 April 2020.
Last Friday 10 of January, Amanda Muñoz – a PhD student in N&N Group – attended the award ceremony of the video competition “Yo Investigo Yo Soy CSIC” which took place in CSIC headquarters in Madrid.
Our recent paper reporting on a multifunctional bacterial nanocelullose mille-feuille has been featured on the CSIC magazine! We are always pleased to see our work explained to the general public. Do not miss it!
The participation of Anna Laromaine at NanoTech 2017 (International Nanotechnology Exhibition and Conference) in Tokyo has appeared at the ICMAB website.
Anna could present there the patent “Method for the regeneration of plant tissues” developed by ICMAB-CSIC and CRAG (Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics) to several companies.
The whole N&N Group congratulates Anna on her new post as Professor (Professor d’Investigació) within the CSIC.
We are very happy for her, and for the group! Let’s celebrate it!
Enhorabona Anna!

Pol Sallés, undergraduate student of the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology degree at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has been awarded with a JAE-INTRO scholarship by the CSIC to spend a three-month internship in our group. He will work on a project related to “Heterostructures of layered inorganic nanoparticles on bacterial cellulose substrates” and will be supervised by Anna Laromaine and Anna Roig.
Una investigación del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) ha diseñado materiales con propiedades ópticas no convencionales gracias al desarrollo de cristales artificiales a base de ópalos magnéticos autoensamblados. Dichas estructuras “aumentan extraordinariamente” la actividad magneto‐óptica para ciertas frecuencias de la luz. El cristal opalino consta de una estructura perfectamente ordenada de esferas huecas de óxido de aluminio (Al2O3) y diámetro aproximado de 300 nanómetros.
El estudio, dirigido por los investigadores del CSIC en el Instituto de Ciencias de Materiales de Bacerlona, Gervasi Herranz y Anna Roig, demuestra que al atravesar estas estructuras se induce en la luz una rotación muy intensa de su plano de polarización para longitudes de onda cercanas al parámetro de red de los ópalos. Este fenómeno podría ser de utilidad para una nueva generación de dispositivos en comunicaciones ópticas.
