CRYSFORMA, a unit from the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) managed by Dr. Jordi Cerón, provides complete scientific support to the pharmaceutical and fine chemistry industry in the field of pharmaceutical solid state development. CRYSFORMA is currently applying its expertise to use the ALBA synchrotron facilities in its projects in the area of polymorphism.
Researchers from the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB), the Molecular Biology Institute of Barcelona (IBMB-CSIC) and the University of Wageningen (The Netherlands) have discovered how auxin hormone-regulated proteins activate development genes in plants. Some of the measurements of this study- published in Cell- were performed at XALOC beamline.
A paper from a group of researchers from Finland, Czech Republic, Germany and Russia -led by Martina Stekrova- has been published in the journal "Applied Catalysis A: General". Part of the data of this research was acquired at CLAESS beamline from the ALBA Synchrotron.
A collaboration research among the ALBA Synchrotron, the University of Oviedo and the Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (CNM-CSIC) has demonstrated that the effect of magnetic pulses can alter the microscopic structure of the domains at remanence. Depending on the magnitude of the pulsed field, either maze, bubbles or intermediate situations have been observed.
