We are dedicated to advancing materials science and translating groundbreaking research into real-world solutions for Health, Energy, and the Environment.

Shaping materials. Shaping the world 🌍

A "María de Maeztu" Unit of Excellence
🏗️The first pilot plant has been installed at the @upc.edu Campus Nord sports center, where BEEC’s potential for large-scale greywater treatment is being tested. This project was possible thanks to an award from the Barcelona City Council for innovative water-saving solutions in sports environments.

🧪 BEEC is created by combining natural mineral materials, producing a composite that allows ion exchange and wastewater filtration. This technology can treat water from showers in sports facilities, making it safe to reuse for non-potable purposes, reducing overall water consumption 💦.

💧 Turning Greywater into a Resource!

Our researchers are leading the way in sustainable water management with the development of BEEC – BioEngineering Eco-Composite, a novel material that enables the filtration and reuse of greywater ♻️.

💡 Imagine a bone implant that is flexible during surgery – easy to handle, adapt, and fix – and then hardens naturally once inside the body to provide strong, bone-like support.

That’s what researchers from the BBT group have achieved in a new study published in #AdvancedFunctionalMaterials.

🌞Back from holidays! This week, we hosted the 19th Conference on Liquid and Amorphous Metals at @upc.edu 🎉

Amorphous metals have a “glass-like” atomic structure, opening exciting opportunities in energy⚡️, health🏥, and manufacturing🏭.

Big thanks to everyone who made #LAM19 a succesful event! 🙌

Another #InsideMaterials is here! 🥳

🔎 This month, our picture is giving #SciFi or mythical creature. In reality, it's a dental implant embedded in a porous material that simulates bone for a biocompatible solution.

Do you also think science is SUPER cool? What does the picture remind you of? 🤔
