The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Basic Sciences category has gone in this thirteenth edition to Paul Alivisatos (University of California, Berkeley, United States) and Michael Grätzel (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) for their fundamental contributions to the development of new nanomaterials already in use for the production of renewable energies and in latest-generation electronics. Grätzel s groundbreaking work includes the invention of a dye-sensitized solar cell named after him, reads the committee s citation, while Alivisatos has made pioneering contributions in using semiconductor nanocrystals for energy and display applications. ....

The DEEPER project: New photonic tools to reveal deep brain alterations causing diseases


 E-Mail
Genova/Lecce (Italy), 28th January 2021 - Understanding and treating brain disorders, such as Alzheimer s disease, addiction, chronic pain, depression and schizophrenia, entails the comprehension of the alterations that may occur in the deep regions of the gray matter. Thanks to the European-funded project DEEPER, an international research consortium, coordinated by IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Technology), will develop new photonic technologies to access those regions and reveal the molecular and cellular dysfunctions underlying the origin of the disorder. The new technological tools are developed with the goal to directly treat the diseases in a minimally invasive and highly effective way. DEEPER will transfer the technological results from laboratory to market, with the ambition to have an impact to strengthen Europe s industrial position in the biophotonics market. ....

First time for human-made mass to exceed living biomass


According to a study by scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) published in
Nature on 9 December 2020, the weight of human-made objects such as concrete, asphalt/tarmac and metal - referred to collectively as anthropogenic mass - will likely exceed that of living things (i.e., biomass) by the end of 2020, for the first time in history. They estimate that biomass weighs in at approximately 1.1 trillion tonnes (1.2 trillion US tons) and that in 2020 anthropogenic mass reached a similar level, now accumulating at a rate of 30 billion tonnes (33 billion US tons) per year.
The paper estimates that for every person in the world, more than their body weight in anthropogenic mass (inanimate solid objects such as concrete - the main contributor, gravel, bricks, glass, metals, plastic) is now being produced each week. They suggest that if current trends continue, anthropogenic mass is on track to increase to 2.2 trillion tonnes (2.4 trillion US tons) - double t ....
