Metallic complexes are molecuar structures where a metal is surrounded by other atoms or molecules with negative electric charge. These atoms or molecules that surround the metal are called ligands. UAB researchers are studying a kind of ligands that they have applications in agrochemistry and...
Drosophila buzzatii is a fruit fly species which arrived to Europe from Argentina 300 years ago. European flies show some genome differences compared to their homologous in South America. UAB scientists have studied the different molecular structure of a mobile...
Researchers at UNIVET, a spin-off of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in cooperation with the animal nutrition company Affinity Petcare, have developed an artificial cellular model which faithfully reproduces the characteristics of dog skin and which will allow, therefore, the carrying out of various lines of...
At the end of the last ice age, before big ice masses dissolved on the continents surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean, some sporadic episodes of rapid melting of the ancient British Ice Sheet affected ocean currents that are very important for Earth's...
Enzymes are proteins that regulate the rate of chemical reactions involved in biological processes. Researchers at the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are currently studying strategies to artificially alter the structure of enzymes in order to modify their behaviour.
Quantum physics analyzes amazing matter properties that you can only observe at microscopic level and that face up to the reality that we can see at our level. Superfluidity, as well as superconductivity, are macroscopic quantum phenomena: superfluids have a great ability to flow without resistance along thin an of...
