Futurechromes is glad to have actively participated @XPANSE, November 20-22 in Abu Dhabi, hosted by ADQ. #AbuDhabi #ADQ XPANSE is the world’s most influential exponential tech event, bringing together 2,500 key decision-makers from industry, academia, government, and investment to access cutting-edge insights on exponential technologies like #QuantumComputing, #Genomics, #AGI, #AdvancedMaterials, and more. #ExponentialTech #FutureTech. We are proud to have been one of the 66 spinoff pitching at the event and to have exposed our prototypes in our dedicated booth. Special thanks to Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2) and Pablo Pomposiello Miravent for guesting us at XPANSE in Abu Dhabi. Thanks to the organizers for giving us such an opportunity to broaden our network in the middle east.

🗣️ El pasado 16 de noviembre tuvo lugar el #BCNspiracy 2024 en CosmoCaixa, un evento de divulgación que busca acercar la 𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚 al público general. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝟑 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐈𝐂𝐍𝟐: 🔷 La Dra. Mary Cano presentó la tecnología de micro y #nanoencapsulación, sus beneficios y aplicaciones en alimentación, como la mejora de sabores o la absorción de nutrientes. 🔷 La Dra. Maria Soler habló de los biosensores ópticos para diagnosticar enfermedades, detectar bacterias resistentes a #antibióticos o realizar cribados de infecciones. 🔷 El Dr. Giulio Rosati abordó la impresión por inyección de tintas nanofuncionales para fabricar #biosensores sostenibles para la agroalimentación. Estos permiten controlar la salud de los cultivos o detectar microorganismos no deseados en los alimentos. 👏 ¡Fueron charlas muy interesantes! ¡Bravo a los 3!

📖 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 Series 🤔 Sometimes we talk about #MOFs, like in this news piece https://lnkd.in/dggsZ2q9 but what are they❓ 🔬 MOFs (#MetalOrganicFrameworks) are #PorousMaterials formed of metal ions connected by organic molecules called ligands, creating tangled 3D networks. 🚀 The main current applications of MOFs are energy and gas storage, and catalysis. But they're also emerging in #nanomedicine. 💊 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐌𝐎𝐅𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐮𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲? 🔷 MOFs can absorb and protect medication from degradation, releasing it in a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 way to reduce side effects and improve efficacy, ideal for precision treatments like cancer therapy.
