For this month’s Video of the Month, we captured this fascinating footage of an engineered bacterial biosensor in full action 🦠✨
In this clip, you can watch living bacteria actively producing a Raman reporter
🚀🆕 New publication in @WileyGlobal!
We demonstrate hyperbolic surface exciton polaritons and surface waves in organic hyperbolic metamaterials within near-zero permittivity regimes.
Nanofabrication + optical characterization + simulations 🔬

On the second day, we attended talks by @zenrg99, Xavi, @SaraRodriguezDS and @paulasanro
A great opportunity to share our work, exchange ideas, and connect with fellow researchers. We return inspired and full of new ideas for the projects ahead!

This week, part of our research group attended RICI XI – The 11th Iberian Meeting on Colloids and Interfaces in Córdoba.
On the first day, we had the opportunity to listen to @Laraglezc and Artai.
🧪✨ Chemistry can be discovered through play!
A few days ago, our colleague Sergio brought science into the classroom, CPI Cova Terrana in Baiona, to experiment and observe.
Inspiring curiosity today helps build the scientists of tomorrow. 🔬

Ayer ha sido un día muy especial. He cambiado @cinbio_uvigo por el colegio en el que empecé, el CPI Cova Terreña. Ha sido muy gratificante poder mostrar un poco de ciencia a niñas y niños tan emocionados. Gracias a @FunNanoBio y al colegio por darme esta oportunidad. 🧑🔬🔬🧪
Our colleague @zenrg99 presented the talk “J-aggregate-based Artificial Hyperbolic Metamaterials for Light-Matter Coupling at the Nanoscale” at the SoftComp Annual Meeting 2026 in Zakopane, Poland
