CIENCIAVITAE platform is replacing DeGóis and FCT SIG

Since January 1st 2019, DeGóis is no longer allowing to create new CVs and FCT SIG will end this feature from March 1st 2019. Both platforms will allow editing existing CVs until July 1st 2019 but will cease in 2021. All researchers should create a CiênciaID and create their CV at CIENCIAVITAE.

IN+ scientists developed First Carbon Nanotube by Flame Synthesis

A team of scientists from IN+, has developed in the Laboratory of Thermofluids, Combustion and Energy Systems the first carbon nanotube by controlling flame synthesis. This study will expand the scope of carbon materials synthesis using flame with enormous potential for large scale carbon nanotubes production.
