A new plasma-based technological design boosts graphene production by more than 22%
Escrito por UCC+iA UCO study manages to optimize the energy yield of the graphene synthesis process by building a Faraday cage around a plasma torch. The process, which has already been registered for evaluation as a patent, could be an important step towards the industrial-scale production of one of the most promising materials in recent years
Copyrolysis of olive pomace and plastics reduces energy and polluting emissions in bioenergy production
Escrito por UCC+iThe combined thermal degradation of olive pomace and plastic waste by pyrolysis increases the effectiveness of the process and generates new value-added products, such as biofuels, according to a study by the University of Córdoba
Faster and more sensitive: the new system to detect cannabis in saliva
Escrito por ucc+IWith just a few drops of saliva and in a few minutes the presence of THC can be detected thanks to a technique developed by the universities of Cordoba and Valencia, making it possible to accelerate the analysis process and to use very small samples
A reduction in Iberian pork preservatives is achieved thanks to a yeast
Escrito por UCC+iIn the face of European regulations mandating salt and nitrite reductions in food, a team from the University of Cordoba has tested the potential of a yeast as a natural preservative in Iberian pork loin from the Pedroches Valley
