10th Festival of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology “10alamenos9” – Nano-stories
The ICMS is holding a competition to raise awareness of the world of nanotechnology through literature in Andalusian high schools. The initiative is part of the X Festival of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology “10alamenos9” and will have a national and an international...
Transparent porous films with real refractive index close to unity for photonic applications
Herein, we demonstrate mechanically stable large-area thin films with a purely real refractive index (n) close to 1 in the optical range. At specific wavelengths, it can reach values as small as n = 1.02, the lowest reported for thin solid slabs. These are made of a...

Jesús Campos from IIQ and Tomás Ramírez from ICMS receive Consolidator Grants from the European Research Council, worth two million euros over five years for each project. Two cicCartuja research projects have obtained Consolidator Grants awarded by the European...
Exploring the impact of nanoshaped ceria in the methanol decomposition reaction pathway for clean energy production
The effect of facet exposure in ceria nanostructures on the catalytic properties of Pd/CeO₂ during methanol decomposition was investigated. The results showed the structure sensitive nature of this reaction, with the catalytic activity depending on the facet exposed...
