A study published in the journal BioNanoScience reflects on the importance of considering neurodivergences in artificial intelligence. Acknowledging the challenges neurodivergent people face, the study proposes taking non-neurotypical ways of thinking into account during the development of artificial...
A study published in the journal BioNanoScience reflects on the importance of “resting” for robots and proposes a “synthetic hippocampus” architecture, inspired by the human sleeping process. This would guarantee an online phase in which the system...
Research carried out by the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), with researchers from the UAB, has shown that the performance of graphene-based electronic devices in aqueous media can vary. This may have implications when...
In today’s globalized world, migrations have become a central element in understanding our societies. A study carried out by researchers in the Department of Applied Economics at the UAB has revealed that people from a country who are in contact...
A study by CREAF scientists shows that the timing of cyclical events in living things is becoming out of sync between plants and animals, with increasing risks to ecosystems around the world. With...
A theoretical study from the Optics Group, quantum and atomic research line, of the Department of Physics enables the efficient simulation of gauge theories, responsible for the interactions between fundamental particles, using quantum...
A recent study provides new insights into the accessibility of Barcelona’s Climate Shelter Network, questioning whether the city’s expanding system of shelters genuinely benefits those...
Suicide is one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. A systematic review and meta-analysis led by researchers from the UAB and the Parc Taulí Health Corporation Consortium has examined the effectiveness of synchronous...
Scientists from the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have designed new light-activated molecules that could potentially eliminate antibiotic-resistant bacteria....
The growth of population, the loss of arable land, and climate change threaten global food security and economic stability. Crops are particularly affected by excessive soil salinity, and research has focused on improvements...
