The engineer Fabienne Sallaberry has calculated the losses sustained by solar thermal collectors, devices that convert the sun’s energy into useful heat, when one of their components is not correctly focusing the direct solar radiation. This researcher is also proposing that certain sections included in the Spanish standards (AENOR) and in the international ones (ISO and IEC) should be revised so that the global output of these devices can be better determined.

Are the effects of political decisions measurable? For example, what were the occurring consequences following the introduction of a toll to control the density of traffic? How did the change of the visa regime affect the numbers of people entering a country? Did the low-wage sector develop due to the implementation of a minimum wage?
Policy Compass, launching publicly next week is a portal which has the ability to visualise such connections on the basis of open data and make them more apparent.

The mechanism to describe how our cells allow certain molecules to enter and exit their nucleus while blocking others to protect genetic material and normal functions of the cell can be explained using basic physical principles. This is the main conclusion drawn from the work of scientists from CIC biomaGUNE, the Basque Centre for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials.
