Fuel Cells, Filtration, and Decades of Collaboration: A Conversation with Brian Wetton
2026-01-08
Brian Wetton, from the University of British Columbia, spent last October at CRM collaborating with Tim Myers on computational models for filtration systems. His career has evolved from pure numerical analysis to applied mathematics with industrial partners, working on everything from fuel cells to lithium-ion batteries. He reflects on what makes collaborations last, why in-person […]
New Materials that Change Colour with Heat: A Major Step Towards Smart Sensors and Inks 2026-01-08Researchers at ICN2 have developed novel thermochromic compounds capable of reversibly changing from colourless to coloured when heated. This functionality opens the door to promising applications in diverse areas as product labelling and security inks, as well as in photoprotective coatings for smart windows. Go to Source
From Barcelona to West Bengal: Chemistry Meets Mathematics to Enhance Water Filter Design
2026-01-07
Researchers at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, in collaboration with IIT Kharagpur and UPC, have developed a mathematical model that accurately predicts the performance of fluoride-removal water filters made of mineral-rich carbon (MRC) and chemically treated MRC deployed in rural West Bengal. By grounding the mathematics in the underlying chemistry rather than relying on century-old […]
The ninth edition of ‘Cinema and Science’ invites reflection on humanity, nature, and the future 2026-01-07The cycle will kick off today with a screening of Planet of the Apes, a subversive science fiction classic that invites reflection on humanity’s progress and setbacks, as well as authoritarian tendencies. This year there will once again be parallel activities, such as a talk by Ginés Morata, biologist and winner of the Princess of […]
