Celebrating International Day of Climate Action: ICN2’s commitment towards sustainable innovation
On the International Day of Climate Action, ICN2 unveils a new Media Spotlights section on its website and celebrates the relentless pursuits in nanotechnology-driven sustainable innovation by its researchers and collaborative initiatives.
On the occasion of the International Day of Climate Action, ICN2 takes immense pride in highlighting its enduring commitment to addressing climate change through the lens of nanotechnology.
A notable announcement is the launch of a new section on our website, Media Spotlights, which proposes long-term topics to journalists. Special mention goes to ICREA Prof. Maria Escudero, whose notable work in decarbonisation with electrochemical solutions is indeed praiseworthy. Her pioneering work can be explored in further detail through this video:
The captivating domain of the NEO-Energy Group is brought to light through an array of insightful videos shared by its Group Leader, CSIC Research Professor Pedro Gómez-Romero on his YouTube Channel, Tecnosfera.
Our journey into the nanoworld continues to address macro challenges. The recent breakthroughs regarding the stability of enhanced perovskite solar cells by our diligent researchers are laying the groundwork for more efficient and long-lasting solar energy solutions.
A deeper dive into our solar cells research is showcased in this video:
Pushing the boundaries of detectability, the avant-garde Attosens techniques led by the ICN2 Group under the stewardship of ICREA Prof. Arben Merkoçi are opening new frontiers in nanosensing.
Our prestigious #SeveroOchoa award mirrors our environmental commitment, with distinct research lines dedicated to this cause.
Proactively sharing insights on nanoparticles for in-situ remediation of soils and groundwater, we aim to contribute to the broader understanding of this field.
In a recent venture, our startup Cooling Photonics secured investment to advance sustainable cooling technology, reflecting our ethos of fostering green application initiatives.
Engagement with the next generation is pivotal. In an exciting initiative, over 7000 high school students across Catalonia will partake in testing a novel experimental material by our spin-off LightNET during FCRi's Science Week, sparking curiosity and innovation among young minds.
Climate change is a grim reality, but the nanoscale domain is teeming with opportunities to effect meaningful change. This #ClimateActionDay, we stand resolute in exploring nano-avenues for a greener and sustainable future. 🌿🌎</>
