Taking pictures of bugs with a scanning electron microscope is a way to encourage interest in microscopy among younger students and children.  (I really enjoy it myself.)  Getting the best image of our insect friends can be something of a challenge though.  In this blog I will describe some basic techniques for imaging…

Pedro Miguel Etxenike, president of the Donostia International Physics Center Foundation (DIPC) and one of the most prestigious voices of science in the Basque Country, supports that thanks to the investment in nanoscience and nanotechnology over the last few years, the Basque Country has become a focal point in research in this field. Nevertheless, Etxenike declares that investments in science must be maintained so as to transfer knowledge acquired to the productive fabric and therefore…

The international Nano magazine, one of the publications of reference specialised in the field of nanotechnology, with approximately 100,000 monthly readers all over the world, chose the Basque Country in its August issue to conduct a complete ‘country-report’, a detailed analysis of the economic, scientific and technological fabric of a territory distinguished by its nanotechnology activity.…
