Last week, Jose Miguel González Domínguez, a postdoctoral researcher at the MSOC NanoChemistry Lab, won 1ST prize in the first national competition in the scientific outreach area: I Edición de los Premios Jóvenes Divulgadores 2017. In his own words: “I am just trying to present graphene and nanotechnology to non-specialized individuals in a both rigorous but enjoyable presentation”.
With this participation, he wanted to share how Nanotechnology, specially that of carbon nanostructures such as Graphene, are Substantially changing research in Materials Science and Medicine. Graphene possesses extraordinary properties that can greatly contribute towards advances in multiple fields, particularly in medicine. In the video, he presented the advanced he has worked in during the last couple of yearsregarding new methodologies to obtain graphene in water dispersions, enabling these futures studies in diverse fields.
CONGRATULATIONS JOSE!

University of Castilla-La Mancha awards “Honoris Causa” doctorate to Professors Nazario Martín and Maurizio Prato.
Professors Nazario Martín and Maurizio Prato have been named “Doctor Honoris Causa” by University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) at an academic ceremony chaired by Rector Miguel Ángel Collado. The ceremony took place at the auditorium church of San Pedro Mártir in Toledo the 28th June.
The research career, contributions to science and the strong links to the UCLM of both Professors were acknowledged during the event. Nazario Martín's promoter was Fernando Langa, from the Institute for Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials of the UCLM, who gave the first laudatory speech. Afterwards, our group leader, Ester Vázquez, gave another emotive laudatory speech as promoter of Maurizio Prato. The ceremony, which can be watched in the link given below, included the performance of different pieces by the Choir of Toledo.
Apart from the ceremony, a symposium entitled "A Journey through Carbon Nanostructures: from Fullerenes to Graphene" was celebrated in Honour to the two Professors the day before, in which several invited speakers showed their more recent works. Moreover, a conference entitled "Química y Nanociencia en tu vida: Hablando con los protagonistas" took place in Ciudad Real the 29th June, in which we could discuss with the new honoris causa doctors about the implications of nanoscience in everyday life. Both Professors were also welcomed by the city mayor, Pilar Zamora.
Congratulations to both Professors!
