In this work, a scientific team from UNESP developed a low-cost material, based on cellulose microfibers, capable of removing toxic dyes present in effluents from the textile industry. The material, which is recyclable, was produced within the circular economy concept from an agro-industrial residue widely available in Brazil, sugarcane bagasse. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Go to the paper in Bioresource Technology<\/i>.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Researchers from IFSC-USP and UFES, along with scientists from Colombia, have developed a low-cost, portable biosensor capable of detecting ochratoxin with high sensitivity and selectivity. Ochratoxin is a toxic and potentially carcinogenic substance produced by fungi, often found in coffee beans. A patent application for this development is in progress at the USP Innovation Agency.

Scientists from UFSCar and USP presented a new route, based on the “flash-sintering” technique, for obtaining glass-ceramics (materials with high resistance to impacts, obtained by crystallizing common glasses). The team obtained glass-ceramics in much shorter times and lower temperatures than conventional methods: 20 seconds in an oven at 500 \u00b0C, instead of a few hours at 950 \u00b0C. A patent application for the process has already been submitted in Brazil. Go to the paper in Acta Materialia<\/i>.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A team from five Brazilian and one French institutions developed a technique to characterize chiral organic materials, which can mimic the properties of the chiral molecules that exist in nature, and also can form metamaterials that interact exotically with light. Called Photoluminescent Ellipsometric Circular Dichroism (PECD), the technique makes it possible to distinguish the electronic transitions that are related to the chiral centers of molecules, and it can be combined with Ellipsometric Raman Spectroscopy (ERS).
