El Govern impulsa l'Aliança de semiconductors i xips de Catalunya per liderar-ne el desenvolupament al sud d'Europa
Aquesta iniciativa publicoprivada tindrà l’objectiu de captar projectes d’empreses capdavanteres d’aquest sector, formar, atraure i retenir talent especialitzat, potenciar la recerca i la innovació i connectar l’ecosistema local al món. L'IMB-CNM forma part de l’òrgan de governança d’aquesta iniciativa, la Taula de l’aliança de semiconductors, formada per diversos departaments de la Generalitat, empreses i agents del sistema de recerca.
L’exposició sobre microelectrònica "La revolució silenciosa" arriba a FAB Casa del Mig fins al 28 de juny
La mostra itinerant de l’Institut de Microelectrònica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC), “La revolució silenciosa”, es trasllada al FAB Casa del Mig – Punt Multimèdia, ubicat al parc de l’Espanya Industrial del barri barceloní de Sants. Des del 26 de maig fins al 28 de juny es podrà gaudir d’una mostra divulgativa sobre la microelectrònica i conèixer el transistor, el petit protagonista que ha portat a la revolució digital actual.

Soft optomechanical systems have the ability to reversibly respond to optical and mechanical external stimuli by changing their own properties (e.g., shape, size, viscosity, stiffness, color or transmittance). These systems typically combine the optical properties of plasmonic, dielectric or carbon-based nanomaterials with the high elasticity and deformability of soft polymers, thus opening the path for the development of new mechanically tunable optical systems, sensors, and actuators for a wide range of applications. This review focuses on the recent progresses in soft optomechanical systems, which are here classified according to their applications and mechanisms of optomechanical response. The first part summarizes the soft optomechanical systems for mechanical sensing and optical modulation based on the variation of their optical response under external mechanical stimuli, thereby inducing mechanochromic or intensity modulation effects. The second part describes the soft optomechanical systems for the development of light induced mechanical actuators based on different actuation mechanisms, such as photothermal effects and phase transitions, among others. The final section provides a critical analysis of the main limitations of current soft optomechanical systems and the progress that is required for future devices.
