Method for producing a metadata chip (8) of data modules (41), comprising the steps of preparing a sacrificial layer (2), a first structural layer (3) configured to allows light to pass through, a design layer (4) being capable of including bidimensional metadata information, having a high optical contrast, shaping the design layer (4) using a photolithography, engraving or etching technique, to define shape and dimensions of a data module (41), shaping a first cover (31) of the data modules (41), and removing the sacrificial layer (2) in order to produce metadata chips (8) not easily visible, containing metadata security information, for enhancing security.

The present invention relates to a peptide-bound boron cluster complex for use in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The present invention covers a library of complexes where one or more icosahedral boron clusters, such as carboranes and metallacarboranes, are linked to peptides or hormone analogues that bind to receptors or antigens overexpressed in tumors.

Present invention refers to a triboelectric nanogenerator and manufacturing method thereof, comprising: an electrode having a composite material layer attached to the electrode; and a counter-electrode having a tribo-negative material layer attached to the counter-electrode, configured to contact the composite material layer by an external force; wherein the composite material layer comprises a tridimensional nanostructure of a first tribo-positive isolating material having a plurality of interconnected pores filled with a second tribo-positive isolating polymeric material.

The present invention refers to a cementitious composite characterized in that it exhibits thermoelectricity and radiative cooling properties, such that the Seebeck coefficient is >2000 µV/K and the solar reflectance is above 0.95, both values included, particularly, the cementitious composite comprises zeolite selected among Z4A, ZSM.5, MCM-21, MCM-22 and mixtures of them, preferably in a high proportion over 60% by weight.

The invention discloses a polypeptide with hyaluronidase activity from Purpureocillium sp, comprising the amino acid sequence in SEQ. ID. No. 1 or a variant thereof, a polynucleotide comprising said polypeptide, a recombinant vector, a host cell and a method to produce the polypeptide of SEQ. ID. No. 1 or a variant thereof and its use to produce a mixture of hyaluronan oligosaccharides.

The present invention discloses a device (1) for receiving an initial sequence (2) of polarized photons, modifying the polarization of each of said photons and performing measurements upon each of said photons according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device (1) comprises a beam splitter (3); two half-wave plates (4, 4'), two quarter-wave plates (5, 5'); two polarizer beam splitters (6, 6'), four single-photon detectors (7, 7', 7", 7‴), tagging means (8) connected to the single-photon detectors (7, 7', 7", 7‴) and rotating means (9) connected to the half-wave (4, 4') and quarter-wave plates (5, 5'). These elements are arranged and configured in such a way that the polarization of each photon comprised in the incoming light beam or initial sequence (2) of photons can be corrected before decoding. A system for transmitting a cryptographic key according to a Quantum Key Distribution, protocol with polarization correction and a method for correcting the polarization of each photon comprised in the sequence of photons used in the transmission of a cryptographic key according to a QKD protocol are also disclosed.

A method and system for testing triboelectric materials comprising: a first platform (2); a counter-electrode (5) arranged on the first platform to receive a piece of a first triboelectric material; a force measurement means to measure force at the first platform; a piston (11); a second platform (12) at one end of the piston; an electrode (13) arranged at the second platform to receive a piece of a second triboelectric material; a drive system (15) to vertically move the piston to a position with contact between the two triboelectric materials at a certain level of force and frequency; and measuring means to measure an output signal as result of the contact between the triboelectric materials.

The present invention refers to benzothiazolium salts of formula (I) and its use in therapy. More particularly, they are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of parasitic infections. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical composition comprising them.

The present invention refers to AG5 compound, and compositions or combined preparations comprising said compound, for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a fatty liver disease or disorder.

The vast majority of prokaryotic microorganisms remains uncultured and are not abundant enough to be effectively studied using metagenomic sequencing methods. Here, we present a novel PCR-free target capture sequencing approach that enables targeting specific genes or functions with full phylogenetic coverage in a single sequencing experiment, proving also a higher sensitivity and precision than regular shotgun and amplicon-based approaches.
