A team of scientists from ICN2 has managed to produce a type of organic molecules, known as macrocycles, through the precise and controlled breaking of crystalline structures. This technique allows molecular “cutting” of the target molecules instead of synthesizing them step by step using traditional methods. This is an international collaboration with participation from UdG
Last week the University of Girona (UdG) announced that Dr. Eduard Matito, former member at the Institut de Química Computacional i Catàlisi (IQCC), received the Alumin UdG award 2025, for his scientific career of research and knowledge. He did his PhD in the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) under the supervision of Prof. Miquel Solà and Prof. Miquel Duran about “Development,
