Researchers from DIMAS-ITACA (Universitat Politècnica de València) and the Surrey Space Centre have demonstrated that lunar regolith could be used to build roads, landing pads, and buildings on the Moon’s surface. The researchers have proved that lunar rocks, or regolith, can…

The MERIT Scientific Workshop will bring together researchers from the MERIT project and invited research groups to discuss recent advances in microwave-driven redox materials and processes for sustainable energy applications. The event aims to present selected scientific results and experimental progress…

PepsiCo, the Spanish Royal Mint (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre), and Stanford University are among the more than 50 renowned companies, universities, and tech centers from around the world that have used the dielectric property measurement service provided by DIMAS-ITACA…

The researchers of the Microwave Division (DIMAS-ITACA) at UPV have identified the target compositions and mixtures that would be efficiently heated inside the microwave reactors, as well as the most suitable materials for transport and thermal insulation compatible with the microwave…

The unique nature of microwave energy may yield additional advantages in many heating processes, such as reduced processing times, lower energy consumption, enhanced efficiency, and improvements in the quality of the final product (Chaouki et al., 2020). Microwave radiation interacts directly…

A team from the Microwave Division (DIMAS) of the Institute of Information and Communications Technologies (ITACA), and the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint research centre of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)…

Here, we demonstrate the exsolution of catalytically active Ni nanoparticles driven by microwaves in the absence of hydrogen or low pressures. With the aid of microwaves, we were able to generate these exsolved nanoparticles at milder temperatures and shorter exposure times…
