It lived around 2.6 million years ago and was significantly larger than the extant members of the genus Golunda
The combination of two techniques allows the in-depth analysis of the composition of insect dust which is increasingly sold as a dietary ingredient
URV researchers are taking part in a pioneering study that analyses the behavioural and molecular effects in the short, medium and long term resulting from exposure to chlorpyrifos, which may be related to hyperactivity, autism and addictions
These installations centralize large scale heating and the production of hot water. One study led by researchers from the URV has created a diagnostic tool that uses artificial intelligence to demonstrate the feasibility of these systems
URV researchers have developed a nanometric-scale theoretical model to create structures that kill bacteria by using elastic forces. The results of this study pave the way to creating new antibacterial materials
Large scale testing of the device is underway; in only 15 minutes and with just a single pinprick of blood it can determine with 100% reliability if a person has the disease or if they have developed antibodies to it
The research opens the door to developing more natural drugs that are less toxic for patients with cancer. The results of this study led by researchers from the URV have been published in the journal Scientific Reports
A diet rich in fish or omega 3 modulates the concentration of lipids that are passed on to cells by lipoproteins and reduces the likelihood of atherosclerosis, according to the most exhaustive study carried out to date by Universitat Rovira i Virgili and Harvard Medical School on more than 26,000 women
It is made with a hybrid material consisting of graphene and perovskite nanocrystals and has proved to be more cost-effective, reliable and sustainable than the alternatives existing today
The aim is to develop a serological test within 3 months that takes only 15 minutes to differentiate between patients that have the virus and those who have already has it
Led by the research staff of the Department of Chemical Engineering, the research has been carried out with lemon essential oil, a product that is extensively used in the food industry
Genetic material from an 800,000-year-old human fossil has been retrieved for the first time
Seven 3D printers from different departments at the University have started to produce equipment, in particular face masks, which will be distributed to healthcare staff throughout the Tarragona region
The researcher from the Department of Computer Engineering and Mathematics, Àlex Arenas, is one of the signatories of the document alongside Oriol Mitjà
This is not just a health crisis. It is a social and universal crisis
This estimation has just been made using the mathematical model designed by URV researchers and Unizar if current mobility is maintained. Portugal, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay have already got in touch with the research group to request data on the spread of the virus in these countries
Researchers at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili and the Universidad de Zaragoza have developed the tool, which provides its results on a website that is updated daily

The most human algorithm
URV and ICREA researchers have designed an algorithm that can automatically identify mathematical models that not only improve the reliability of the predictions they make but also provide information for understanding the data as a scientist would
Led by the URV researcher Vladimir Baulin, this study has also discovered a new role of cholesterol that will help to understand the development of some diseases and cell processes
