Marta Sales Pardo is the first woman from a Catalan and Spanish university to have been appointed as a fellow member by this scientific society.
Members of the Food, Innovation & Engineering (FoodIE) Research Group at the URV have analysed the properties of black soldier fly protein fractions to boost their use in the food industry. They have demonstrated that this insect protein is comparable to whey protein for sunflower oil emulsification, while it offers certain advantages for lemon oil encapsulation
Researchers from URV, IRTA and UPC present a study that faces the challenge of agriculture to minimize the impact on the environment and analyses the models used to estimate nitrogen emissions. The results can be useful for Life Cycle Assessment practitioners
For the fourth consecutive year, the Universitat Rovira i Virgili appears in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering retain their places and two more have been added: Archaeology and Medicine, which until now had not featured on this list
Researchers from Universitat Rovira i Virgili and Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona have combined experimental data with algorithms and enable an unprecedent predicting capability of the performance of organic solar cells
The research, involving URV researcher Vladimir Baulin, opens the door to the development of new bactericide materials as an alternative to antibiotics
A study by the URV has tested the method by which neural networks infer the laws of physics by accurately listing all possible combinations
The combination of two techniques allows the in-depth analysis of the composition of insect dust which is increasingly sold as a dietary ingredient
An international team of researchers advocates the use of UV-C light in indoor spaces as a way to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 viruses. This solution meets the requirements of fast, scalable, and affordable implementation to fulfill the needs of disinfecting working spaces
