Patricia Matus warns that, given the progression of climate change, forest fires and their health impact will continue to increase.
Plant-Based Beverage Prototype Developed to Achieve a More Balanced Protein Content
Ingrid Contardo, an academic from the School of Nutrition and Dietetics, leads a project that seeks to optimize the protein value of quinoa and chickpeas through an innovative fermentation process capable of improving digestion and releasing a greater amount of essential amino acids.
Researchers Win Inter-University Funding for Innovations in Medicine, Dentistry, and Education
The use of dialogue to solve problems, dental rehabilitation that favors oral and mental health, and being able to measure high cholesterol levels during pregnancy are the projects of UANDES researchers who were awarded the funds.
A microscope and a guide to bring science closer to children in rural schools in Chile
The project to bring science to rural schools began at IMPACT with the creation of an accessible and hands-on microscope that seeks to link low-income students with science and technology.
Seismic response of buildings will allow to assess damage in constructions caused by earthquakes and improve future structures
Francisco Javier Hernández, an academic from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, proposes new techniques to study the seismic response of structures, evaluate local and global damage, and accurately determine the deformation experienced by each structural element.
Research group predicts the effect of an earthquake on a structure with artificial intelligence
José Antonio Abell, an academic at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences of Universidad de los Andes, Chile, is leading a project to anticipate the behavior of structures in the event of an earthquake in Santiago on the San Ramón fault using artificial intelligence and supercomputing.
Scientific team discovers that a bacterium can transform carbon dioxide and green hydrogen into aviation fuel
In a collaborative effort, Chilean and international researchers led by GTech (from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences) are seeking to produce chemical compounds from renewable sources such as green hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
Figures on the risk of falling urban trees will help to prevent risks to people, infrastructure and cars
José Delpiano, an academic from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, uses AI, through Arbocensus, to investigate how to prevent the failure of tree branches, based on information provided by neighbors and images taken with cell phones, and thus avoid possible damage.
