Ayer ha sido un día muy especial. He cambiado @cinbio_uvigo por el colegio en el que empecé, el CPI Cova Terreña. Ha sido muy gratificante poder mostrar un poco de ciencia a niñas y niños tan emocionados. Gracias a @FunNanoBio y al colegio por darme esta oportunidad. 🧑‍🔬🔬🧪

📢 The @uvigo team at the 2nd General Assembly of the #ADAPTATIONProject in Strasbourg! 🇫🇷

Isabel, Paula, and José from our group joined 22 partners to advance multifunctional materials for solar energy & thermal regulation. ☀️🌱

Towards a sustainable future! 🔬✨

🚀 New paper in ACS Sensors!

With the INESC TEC, we report a TPR-based optical H₂ sensor operating at 1572 nm using SiO₂/TiO₂ multilayers + Pd.

Cost-effective, fast (~30 s), selective, and stable sensing in the IR.

#WomenInScience Day at FunNanoBio! 🧪👩‍🔬

We had a double session: hosting high school students at our @cinbio_uvigo lab & visiting the Santo Tomás School in Porriño

Loved seeing such curiosity and energy. The future is yours! 🚀
