Juan Ramón Sánchez Valencia, a researcher at the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS), is the winner of the Seville´s Royal Academy of Sciences Award 2014.

His research work focuses on the study of functional nanomaterials with applications in photonics, electronics and sensors. (Read on) They are materials of high technical interest which are prepared through the techniques of laboratory vacuum and plasma processing. These materials  can also be developed on an industrial scale and are compatible with the current methods of manufacture of microelectronic devices.

As well, sponsored by the Royal Cavalry of Seville, the Seville´s Royal Academy of Sciences has also granted an award to Eugenio Zapata Solvas, a researcher at the Institute of Materials Science, belonging to cicCartuja. Eugenio was acknowledged for his studies on the mechanical and thermal properties of nanostructured ceramic compounds and of "composite" with ceramic matrix.

The award, which consists of 6000 Euros, will take place at The Royal Cavalry of Seville premises, starting at seven o´clock the evening on May the 27th.
