Researchers at the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the technological centre Eurecat, proposed novel material solutions based on high-strength steels, composites and hybrid materials with the objective to reduce the weight of electric car chassis components by 40%. The research was conducted as part [...]
The introduction of generative artificial intelligence in virtually every link of the supply chains of many industrial sectors, the replacement of synthetic fibres in the textile industry and its resulting impact on the reduction of microplastics, breakthroughs in automotive sensor technology and the push for the Internet of Things (IoT) and the potential of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has over 200 patents for highly innovative industrial, digital, biotech and sustainability technologies and has set up nine spin-offs in partnership with other businesses as one of its core technology transfer activities in areas such as digitalising healthcare, textile production, 3D printing and information and communication technologies. To publicise these and other [...]
The burgeoning potential of generative artificial intelligence is set to play a leading role in the healthcare industry in 2024 along with gene editing and its applications in precision medicine and synthetic biology. This will enable the generation of new ingredients for the food sector and bioactive substances for the pharmaceutical industry to unlock [...]
The Eurecat technology centre predicts that 2024 will be the year of exploiting generative artificial intelligence which will yield solutions developed for a wide range of sectors including healthcare, construction, manufacturing, education, finance, retail and government. Daniel Casellas, Eurecat’s scientific director, notes “the enormous potential which is opening up to ensure that new technological [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European GIANCE project which is to develop and test grapheme-based innovative and recyclable solutions to furnish industry with new sustainable materials and optimise their applications in the automotive, aerospace, hydrogen energy and water treatment industries. Specifically, the project aims to design, develop and scale up the next generation [...]
The University of Barcelona, through the Torribera Food Campus, and the and the Eurecat technology centre have signed a collaboration agreement to promote research and technological innovation projects in the food and health sector. The agreement also includes the development of joint doctoral theses in this field; the generation of projects of high strategic [...]
Ebro-based company Kenshô and the Eurecat technology centre have teamed up to examine solid-phase fermentation for more sustainable manufacturing of fermented products such as Mediterranean sake and miso in L’Ampolla. As part of this R&D and innovation project, Eurecat has looked into the recovery of potential fermentative microorganisms from the washing water of a [...]
The Centre for Omic Sciences, a joint Eurecat technology centre and Rovira i Virgili University unit, has underscored at the COS 2023 Annual Symposium held in Reus and online the potential of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and for studying people’s biomarkers to unlock personalised nutrition and medicine. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) “is an analytical [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has developed a smart plastic surface just 3 millimetres thick which has an interface that allows users to communicate with a machine, software or intuitive system with built-in LED lighting and capacitive sensors which is expected to be embedded in the central electronic system of the new generation of cars. [...]
