#BCMaterials_Conferences | We travel back to early July to recover the oral presentation by our #Ikerbasque Research Fellow Anna Sinelshchikova at the #ICCP14 conference in Kioto (Japan). We congratulate Anna on her fantastic talk “One-Pot Porphyrin Metal-Organic Frameworks”. #MaterialsScience #MOFs

#BCMaterials_Seminars | Our postdoctoral researcher Francisco Peralta presented his research on how cells interpret the physical signals around them. By engineering their microenvironment, his work aims to guide cell behaviour and develop advanced biomaterials for improving therapeutic applications.

#BCMaterials_Training | Congratulations, Aritz Villar, new doctor in #MaterialsScience at @ztffct.bsky.social  with his thesis ‘Ultrafast All-Optical Switching in Co/Pt multilayer thin films’. Congrats also to supervisors José María Porro #BCMaterials and Paolo Vavassori @nanogune.bsky.social

#BCMaterials_Conferences |  Intense second day at #SETN2026 in Bilbao: plenary and keynote talks, 12 oral contributions and a focus on instruments used by the Spanish neutron community. SETN also held its General Assembly with the election of a new president: José María Porro. Congrats, Txema!!

#BCMaterials_Conferences | Great opening yesterday for #SETN2026 in Bilbao! Nearly 100 neutron science experts met to discuss advances in neutron techniques for energy, healthcare, digitalization, environment and cultural heritage. Organized by BCMaterials and @ztffct.bsky.social

#BCMaterials_Seminars | A pleasure to host the joint seminar with @nanogune.bsky.social  ‘Advanced electron microscopy methods for structural characterization of smart materials’. A perfect spot for a discussion on the potential joint research interests and possible collaborations.

#BCMaterials_Conferences | Oso pozik @upna.bsky.social -n egindako Materialen Zientzia eta Teknologia VII. Kongresuan parte hartzeagatik. BCMaterialsek hiru ahozko aurkezpen egin ditu, Itziar Oyarzabal, Maider Pinillos eta Eneko Sebastianen eskutik. Zorionak antolatzaileei!

#BCMaterials_Seminars | Fantastic invited talk by Rodrigo Espinoza @uchile.bsky.social on #MXenes for room-temperature gas sensing. He showed why their conductive 2D surfaces are promising for NO₂ detection, and how extra Al in the MAX phase can improve stability and performance. #MaterialsScience

#BCMaterials_Talks | During his recent visit to South Korea, our #Ikerbasque Research Professor Ivan Infante gave two invited talks on quantum dots at #Samsung and #KAIST, opening promising opportunities for collaboration with Korean scientists. #QuantumDots #ComputationalMaterialsScience

#BCMaterials_Seminars | It was great to have Anna Marsicano (ISIS Neutron and Muon Source). Her talk showcased how the VESUVIO spectrometer uses high-energy neutrons to reveal atomic momentum, quantum effects and the microscopic behaviour of advanced materials. #NeutronSceince #MaterialsScience

#BCMaterials_Outreach | Great talk by Roberto Fernández de Luis at #BarLab by #LogosElkartea. He explained how advanced materials such as #MOFs can help clean polluted mining waters while recovering valuable elements for reuse, turning waste into resources. #MaterialsScience

#BCMaterials_Seminars | #Ikerbasque researchers José Mª Porro and Viktor Petrenko presented #ARGITU, a proposed accelerator-driven neutron source promoted by #ESSBilbao. Based on #HiCANS technology, it could broaden access to neutron research supporting materials, energy and industrial studies.

#BCMaterials_Seminars | 🧪 Today's invited talk featured Johann Osma from the University of the Andes. He explored how surface-functionalized metallic materials, combined with enzymatic catalysis, remove emerging contaminants such as dyes, heavy metals and pharmaceutical residues. #MaterialsScience
