[eng] Conventional 2D in vitro and animal models have been found inadequate to fully uncover the intricate mechanisms happening in the brain and its diseases. Engineering-based models emerge as promising alternatives to ...
[eng] This doctoral thesis deals with the study of the collective behavior of active particles using computacional simulations of semi-dilute solutions of microswimmers. Results are obtained for the polar order parameter, ...
[eng] The thesis Advanced Characterization of Interfaces of the Chalcogenide-Based Absorbers for the Thin Film Photovoltaic Technologies is based on six articles that are published in high impact factor peer-reviewed ...
This thesis has been primarily dedicated to the exploration and implementation of new computational analysis tools and techniques for the characterisation of nanomaterials and devices via transmission electron microscopy ...
The main objective of this thesis was to develop high efficiency thin film solar cells based on low-toxic and earth-abundant kesterite Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) absorbers through the implementation of innovative doping strategies. ...
Nowadays, our modern society huge challenges related to energy, savings as well as energy management, to improve and extend the standard of living to a growin population over 7000 million people, and do it with sustainable ...
[eng] Personalized medicine has emerged to improve cancer treatment beyond classical approaches. The identification of genetic mutations by molecular analyses dominate personalized medicine initiatives promoting clinical ...
Quantum computing is an emergent technology with prospects to solve problems nowadays intractable. For this purpose it is a requirement to build computers capable to store and control quantum systems without losing ...
[eng] Although the first LED dates to the middle of the 20th century, it has not been until the last decade that the market has been flooded with high efficiency and high durability LED solutions compared to previous ...
Sembla obligat començar fent referència a les raons teòriques i experimentals que ens fan creure en la Cromodinàmica Quàntica com en la Teoria de Camps adient a la descripció del mon hadrònic. Per a creure en una teoria ...
The development of sustainable energy sources with a high energy return on energy investment (EROI) that can substitute fossil fuels is a must in order to avoid the collapse of our current civilization. In this context, ...
The main purpose of this thesis is to study how we could obtain a transparent heating system for a Radome. In the context of this thesis, transparent have two different meanings that are tied due to the objective of our ...
The Sun is the main source of all kind of solar energetic particles in the Solar System, electrons, protons and ions with energies from few keV to several GeV. These particles are released from the solar corona and spread ...
[eng] Bose-Einstein condensation is a direct consequence of quantum statistical effects. It occurs in ultradilute gases at very low temperatures: most atoms condense into the lowest-energy state and behave as a single ...
El estudio de la dinámica de un sistema físico macroscópico mediante sus ecuaciones microscópicas del movimiento tiene un interés innegable, pero posee también unas limitaciones muy poderosas. En primer lugar no siempre ...
This thesis focuses on different aspects of NCs colloidal synthesis, the exploration of the relevant surface chemistries that afford NC assembly and the NC implementation into porous nanomaterials. The work is divided ...
Color-based sensor devices often offer qualitative solutions, where a material change its color from one color to another, and this is change is observed by a user who performs a manual reading. These materials change their ...
The main subject of this work focuses on the development of advanced technological strategies for bandgap profile engineering on Earth-abundant and eco-friendly kesterite thin film solar cells which potentially optimize ...
Zebrafish heart regeneration remains one of the most interesting phenomena of the 21st century. Considering the extremely high rate of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases in the developed countries, 1 out of every 3 ...
[eng] Living tissues are active materials with the ability to undergo drastic shape and dimension transitions. If properly controlled, these morphological changes allow various physiological phenomena such as embryonic ...
