Mondragon Unibertsitateko Goi Eskolako Politeknikoko Sistema Txertatuen ikerketa taldeak 100 puntutik 81 lortu ditu Euskal Unibertsitate Sistemako Ikerketa Taldeentzako deialdian. 75 puntu baino gehiago lortzen duten taldeak A tipoko taldeen kategorian sartzen dira, eta aitorpen hori 6 urteko epealdian izaten dute.
Aurreko deialdian (2010-2015) Euskal Unibertsitate Sistemako B Tipoko Ikerketa Talde gisa errekonozitua izan zen. Hori dela eta, 3 urtean aitortza hori izan du, eta azken deialdi honetan ikerlari taldeak duen kalitate maila berretsi du.
En una operación llevada con éxito recientemente en EE.UU., se acaba de sustituir el 75% del cráneo de un paciente por un implante creado por impresión en 3D. El implante está realizado en material PEEK, se llama OsteoFab, y ha sido desarrollado por la empresa Oxford Performance Materials. El implante fue aprobado por la FDA en febrero, lo que ha supuesto un gran hito en la impresión en 3D de implantes.

One of the main barriers blocking wide-scale use of fuel cells is the expensive catalysts used to produce hydrogen fuel from water. Researchers at the University of Calgary say they have developed a novel method for making catalysts using inexpensive metals.
Buildings account for over 40% of the EU's final energy demand and are a major source of greenhouse-gas emissions, making energy savings there a key element of European climate change objectives. However, it remains to be seen whether Europeans will be able to tap into the area with the single biggest potential – the existing building stock.
European nations have signed up to an objective of reducing the EU's primary energy use by 20% by 2020. It was estimated that such savings would slash the EU’s CO2 emissions by 780 million tonnes and save €100 billion in fuel costs.
A significant and growing shortage of health information technology workers appears greater than previously estimated, according to a new analysis by PwC's Health Research Institute. The report, Solving the talent equation for health IT, finds that the healthcare industry is vying for a limited number of IT professionals - and many companies are scrambling to fill the talent void by recruiting technology specialists from other industries.
Surgical robots allow surgeons to perform a variety of less invasive operations because their miniaturized instruments can work through small incisions in the body and are more dexterous than traditional laparoscopic tools (see “The Slow Rise of the Robot Surgeon”). The result is that patients leave the operating room with a smaller surgical wound with the promise of faster recovery and less scarring.
