The research group "Atomic - mass spectroscopy and analytical chemistry under extreme conditions" of the University of Alicante has developed a method for the diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC). More specifically, an accurate, simple, sensitive and efficient method of extraction and[…]

Researchers have developed an innovative system for controlling the presence of workers in their workplaces based on the use of mobile devices. Thanks to this system, it is not necessary for workers to make time-stamps as this is done automatically. This reduces time loss and avoids possible marking[…]

The Institute of Chemical Process Engineering of the University of Alicante has developed a system that allows the individual supply of disinfected air simultaneously to multiple users in closed spaces of common use. This system is characterised by the fact that it can be easily installed in any pl[…]

The Pyrolysis and Polymer Processing research group at the University of Alicante has developed a cigarette to be smoked in Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) that emits less toxic products for the smoker. It is characterized because it allows a selective reduction of nicotine, it maintains the pleasant[…]

The University Institute of Materials of the University of Alicante has developed an ingenious electrochemical reactor that allows the regeneration of spent activated carbon from different industries with an efficiency between 90-100% quickly, selectively, very economically and in the same facilitie[…]

Researchers of the University of Alicante has developed a system that allows to control the urban lighting of a city intelligently, reducing its energy consumption. The technology uses the existing infrastructure and controls the level of lighting required based on the human presence in the area.[…]

The Adhesion and Adhesives Laboratory research group has developed a new biomaterial for use as adhesive or tissue sealant applicable to both animals and humans. This invention solves the disadvantages of the adhesives known so far presenting optimal properties such as biocompatibility with living t[…]

The group of trial, simulation and modeling of structures (GRESMES) has drafted a method for developing an architectural project by means of Voronoi diagrams, which allows to quickly obtain different distribution possibilities of the uses in the space. The group is looking for companies intereste[…]

The "Molecular Microbiology" research group at the University of Alicante has modified several phage proteins (Poll-N and UK-C) that have high specificity against Escherichia coli (E. coli), but not against other Gram-negative (G-) bacteria. For these reasons, their use as a specific antimicrobia[…]

The Carbon Materials and Environment Research Group of the University of Alicante has developed a new method for obtaining carbon materials with excellent properties such as electrocatalysts in fuel cells or metal-air batteries. The process is based on the thermal treatment of polyaniline (or its de[…]

The Photochemistry and Semiconductor Electrochemistry (GFES) research group of the University of Alicante has developed an ultrasonically-enhanced capillary reactor which achieves homogeneous, efficient and temperature-controlled multiphase flow. The reactor features a capillary tube in a helicoidal[…]

The "Advanced Materials" research group at the University of Alicante has developed a foamed material comprising three phases: a structural matrix, at least one host phase, and a fluid. This material is characterized by the fact that the structural matrix comprises a plurality of interconnected poro[…]

The Institute of Materials of the University of Alicante has developed a new and cost-effective catalyst without noble metals to obtain propylene oxide from the selective oxidation of propylene. The catalytic system is characterized by not making use of dangerous or highly contaminating agents, and[…]

The research group "Neurobiología del sistema visual y terapia de enfermedades neurodegenerativas" of the University of Alicante has discovered the use of the compound 3-(2-isothiocyanatethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for the preventive or therapeutic treatment […]

Polyurethane adhesives are widely used in industry for bonding materials in the footwear, electronics, renewable energy, aeronautics, and construction industries, as well as in composite materials. However, they have limitations due to their mechanical properties and stiffness. Researchers at the u[…]

The group of investigation of Processing and pyrolysis of polymers of the University of Alicante has developed a new combined filter that eliminates the tar, the nicotine and other toxic gases present in tobacco smoke in a very efficient way more efficiently than current filters available in the mar[…]

The University of Alicante has developed an innovative polyurethane pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), that presents a controllable degree of stickiness ("tack") with respect to the current adhesives. The tack of the adhesive is changed abruptly in specific short ranges of temperature. The adhesi[…]

The “Ecosystem and Biodiversity Management” (Spanish initials: GEB) and “Agricultural Chemistry” (Spanish initials: QA) research groups at the University of Alicante have developed a new anoxic marine sediment remediation system and procedure that allows in situ transformation of soft, black, muddy […]

The Department of Nursing of the University of Alicante has designed a new ambulances platform, which in addition to the current functions of the platforms allocating the stretchers in vehicles, provides the exact value of the weight of the patient, in real time, facilitating the calculation of prec[…]

The research group of Optics and Visual Perception of the UNIVERSITY OF ALICANTE, with the collaboration of the company LABORATORIOS LENTICON SA, has developed a new multifocal scleral contact lens to compensate presbyopia (age-related near vision deterioration) which has the peculiarity of being op[…]

The technology developed by researchers at the University of Alicante allows the use of a smartphone to locate people injured in remote environments where there is no mobile phone coverage (GSM/UMTS). The smartphone emits a Wi-Fi signal that acts as a distress beacon and can reach a distance of seve[…]

The Plant Proteomics and Functional Genomics research group at the University of Alicante has designed and manufactured a bubble column-type bioreactor to carry out the culture of cell a cell suspension of any type of plant in aseptic conditions. Its novel design allows to recover the culture medium[…]
