Carbon footprint, municipality size and rurality in Spain: Inequality and carbon taxation
(Elsevier, 2020)
By using an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output model, this paper analyses the Spanish households carbon footprint for the 2008 2017 period considering the municipality size as well as the urban or rural ...
Toward neuroprosthetic real-time communication from in silico to biological neuronal network via patterned optogenetic stimulation
(Nature, 2020-05-05)
Restoration of the communication between brain circuitry is a crucial step in the recovery of brain damage induced by traumatic injuries or neurological insults. In this work we present a study of real-time unidirectional ...
Polycyclic aromatic chains on metals and insulating layers by repetitive [3+2] cycloadditions
(Nature Publishing, 2020-03-20)
The vast potential of organic materials for electronic, optoelectronic and spintronic devices entails substantial interest in the fabrication of -conjugated systems with tailored functionality directly at insulating ...
Octopus, a computational framework for exploring light-driven phenomena and quantum dynamics in extended and finite system
(American Institute of Physics, 2020)
Over the last few years, extraordinary advances in experimental and theoretical tools have allowed us to monitor and control matter at short time and atomic scales with a high degree of precision. An appealing and challenging ...
Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-24)
The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of ...
Suppression of the Self-Nucleation Effect of Semicrystalline Polymers by Confinement
(ACS, 2021-04-15)
The melt memory effect is well-known in polymer crystallization. It is caused by self-nuclei that
persist above the melting temperature. The origin and physical nature of self-nuclei are still under
debate. In this work, ...
Inhibitory and Facilitatory Effects of Phonological and Orthographic Similarity on L2 Word Recognition Across Modalities in Bilinguals
(Nature, 2021-06-17)
Language perception studies on bilinguals often show that words that share form and meaning across languages (cognates) are easier to process than words that share only meaning. This facilitatory phenomenon is known as the ...
Manipulating chemistry through nanoparticle morphology
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-01-01)
We demonstrate that the protonation chemistry of molecules adsorbed at nanometer distances from the surface of anisotropic gold nanoparticles can be manipulated through the effect of surface morphology on the local proton ...
Poly(ionic liquid)-based engineered mixed matrix membranes for CO2/H2 separation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-06)
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL) have emerged as a class of versatile polyelectrolites, that can be used to prepare new materials able to achieve superior performances compared to conventional polymers. The combination of PILs ...
Factors affecting energy-efficiency investment in the hotel industry: survey results from Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)
Increasing energy efficiency is a major way of saving energy and thus reducing energy expenses. However, adoption of energy efficiency is generally low, as demonstrated by the energy efficiency gap. To understand that gap, ...
