Researchers from the Optics Group have been able to obtain light intensity profiles on demand, a very precise control of light behaviour. Their research allows the increase and decrease of the depth of focus and obtaining multiple foci, with interesting technological aplications.
The advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology is making possible the creation of new materials based on carbon structures with unique properties and wich have many technological applications. Among these applications there is the improvement of biosensors, devices that perform...
The omnipresent idea of thinness in our society and the consequent pressure has led to very common body dissatisfactions and a permanent judgment-anxiety concerning one’s own body, especially in young females. These inaccurate beliefs encourage an extreme need to...
This work collects the results of a study in a foraging-horticultural society of native Amazonians in Bolivia, the Tsimane’. The objective was to determine if the rainfall during gestation and early childhood could affect adult...
This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a new coordination compound based on cadmium. The study of the interactions between the zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) and biomelecules is a very interesting field due to its many applications in, for example,...

Methods used in social sciences need to be critically revised so we can avoid biases produced by flawed measurements. This work revises the accuracy of a common method in social sciences: asking adults about their parents school...
This work defines new parameters which can be used in Forensic Anthropology and Palaeoanthropology to study and define the age, state of health and life conditions of populations in the past. In particular, the authors have defined the growth of the...
In the field of in vitro fertilisation, the oocytes used can be either fresh or cryopreserved. The advantages of cryopreservation are evident, but there is also a strong disadvantage: fertilisation efficiency is significantly lower. This work explores a method to...
