Juan Molina explains one of the patents from Bionanomechanics Lab in an interview on Telemadrid. Juan Molina is pursuing his PhD at Instituto de Micro y Nanotecnología, enrolled in a program at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. https://www.telemadrid.es/noticias/sociedad/Espana-entierra-el-que-inventen-ellos-con-un-record-de-solicitudes-de-patentes-en-Europa-0-2652934708–20240319125409.html
The Bionanomechanics group has achieved a significant advance in the understanding of the mechanical properties of human cells: it has successfully demonstrated that living cells, specifically human breast epithelial cells, exhibit mechanical resonances, a phenomenon previously considered implausible due to the extraordinary viscosity and complexity of cells in physiological media. https://journals.aps.org/prxlife/accepted/75070K26Wa31f40a872881247617595fa407ee3d3 You can learn more…
The Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant, and the Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, José Luis Escrivá, visited on Monday the Institute of Micro and Nanotechnology (IMN-CSIC) in Tres Cantos, where they learned about the results of a pioneering study on the properties of cells that opens up new avenues for…
Our PhD students Javier Escobar and Juan Molina have been able to control the transport of extremely small amounts of liquids, in the order of zeptoliters (1 zL = 10-21 L), when these flow along resonant nanofluidic channels. Álvaro San Paulo, responsible for the work, explains: “What we have achieved is to measure with precision…
