The UPV/EHU’s COMPMECH research group has patented a mechatronic instrument that uses a mobile platform to stimulate the patient's balance in a controlled manner and measures his/her response. This prototype, which enables rehabilitation work to be systematized while monitoring the patient's evolution over time, is the result of close collaboration with professionals from different departments at Gorliz Hospital.
Recently, the group of Prof. Labao Zhang of Nanjing University, together with the group of researcher Haiyong Gan of the National Institute of Metrology, China, have developed a new thermal radiation detection technology that can achieve sub-millikelvin temperature resolution by using the advantages of high sensitivity and low noise of the superconducting single photon detector. The technology only requires a radiation power below the picowatt level, providing a solution for high resolution thermal detection and imaging in ultra-low-light scenarios. The relevant work was named ‘Sub-millikelvin-resolved superconducting nanowire single-photon detector operates with sub-pW infrared radiation power’ and was published in the 1st 2025 issue of the journal of National Science Review (NSR).

A research team led by Prof. Baowen Zhou has developed a novel Zn-decorated GaN nanowire catalyst that converts CO2 and H2O into methane (CH4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using light. The main research was carried out by Dr. Muhammad Salman Nasir, achieving methane production rates of 189 mmol g–1 h–1 with a selectivity of 93.6% and excellent long-term stability for over 80 hours. This breakthrough provides a sustainable pathway to carbon-neutral energy and industrial chemical production.
