An investigation involving the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) for the first time explains the process of formation of some crystalline materials called biomorphic silica which, despite being made of inorganic minerals, imitate round and gentle life spirals, cardioid, blood cells, septate filaments ...

The study, published in Science, has important implications because it shows that the curved shapes and complex are not unique to biology, the morphology can not be used as a conclusive finding primitive life.

One of the problems of cancer treatments is the lack of methods to differentiate between healthy and diseased cells, so that all are affected by the treatment. The research group of New Supramolecular Materials and Spectroscopy, Faculty of Science and Technology of the UPV / EHU is trying to resolve this problem by using smart nanohidrogeles (small particles capable of detecting diseased cells and release the drug only where it is necessary).

The hydrogels are polymers in the form of a network swollen by absorption but can not be dissolved in any liquid. Such polymers have very different applications. Are used to make artificial muscles for capturing heavy metal wastewater.
