HYPROSI uses a process patented by these researchers that allows the efficient production, storage and safe transport of hydrogen for using it in fuel cells through so-called liquid organic hydrogen carriers, or LOHC. The organic liquid carrying hydrogen is the result of the combination between a silane and an alcohol that, in the presence of a catalyst,…
New Device Increases The Efficiency And Reduces The Cost Of Telecommunication Satellites
Researchers at Valencia’s Polytechnic University (UPV), working for the Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications Institute (iTEAM), have developed a new device that increases the efficiency of satellites while reducing their cost. It is a prototype of a radiant cell that incorporates the four traditional beams from satellites with multibeam technology. These signals are currently emitted by…
New Nanoplatelets Improve the Brightness of LEDs
Researchers at Universitat Jaume I (UJI) have shown that new semiconductor nanoplatelets synthesized in laboratories can improve the brightness of LEDs, lasers and LCD screens of computers or televisions because they minimize energy losses compared to current semiconductor materials. The findings of the research developed by the UJI Quantum Chemistry Group, in collaboration with the…
Do Black Holes Have a Back Door?
One of the biggest problems when studying black holes is that the laws of physics as we know them cease to apply in their deepest regions. Large quantities of matter and energy concentrate in an infinitely small space, the gravitational singularity, where space-time curves towards infinity and all matter is destroyed. Or is it? A…
Physicists Explore Superconductivity at the Two-Dimensional Limit
Researchers at the University of Valencia show that the superconducting state can be maintained even when the material is reduced from three to two dimensions, making the efficiency gains needed for technologies like frictionless trains possible. An international research team led by Eugenio Coronado, of the Univeristy of Valencia’s Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) has…
Electrical Optimization of Biogas of Zapopan Landfill in Mexico
The Industrial Engineering degree student Ferran Garcia Darás from the Universitat Jaume I has defended as his final university project a study for the electrical optimization of biogas generated by the anaerobic decomposition of the waste deposited in the landfill managed by the company Hasars in Zapopan (Mexico). The project has been directed by professor…
