Global patterns in mangrove soil carbon stocks and losses
08/03/2017Mangrove soils represent a large sink for otherwise rapidly recycled carbon (C). However, widespread deforestation threatens the preservation of this important C stock. It is therefore imperative that global patterns in mangrove soil C stocks and their susceptibility to remineralization are...

Cellulose-based magnetoelectric composites
07/07/2017A new paper co-authored by Ikerbasque researcher Senentxu Lanceros successfully demonstrates the concept of exploring piezoelectric biopolymers in magnetoelectric composites, particularly cellulose, which is increasingly employed as a renewable, low-cost, easily processable and degradable...
The size of animals dating back 100-350 million years ago inferred from resurrected proteins
07/07/2017The Ikerbasque researcher Raúl Pérez-Jiménez of nanoGUNE’s Nanobiomechanics group has led a piece of research in which, starting from the sequences of the titin protein of a selection of modern day animals, they inferred the phylogenetic tree of tetrapods (all animals with four limbs including...
