Researchers create a new material for use in the chemical industry capable of transforming CO2 into high value-added compounds.

Eugenio Coronado , researcher at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia , has been awarded a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to advance the development of a new generation of electronic devices inspired by the functioning of the human brain. The project will make it possible to transfer results from fundamental research to technological applications with potential impact in the electronics industry and in neuromorphic computing.

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia have developed a pioneering method to produce glasses from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in a simple and environmentally friendly way. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for the use of MOFs in fields such as electronics, clean energy and advanced technologies. The study has been published in Nature Communications.
