- Un nouveau test de dépistage rapideDecember 17, 2020Des chercheurs de l’ULB ont développé un test de dépistage rapide – comme ceux qui sont utilisés pour détecter une grossesse – en utilisant des nanoparticules d’argent au lieu de nanoparticules d’or. La méthode a été testée sur les anticorps de COVID-19. Les avantages des nanoparticules d’argent sont qu’elles permettent de réaliser des tests moins chers et plus sensibles que ceux réalisés avec des nanoparticules d’or.
- Chercheurs d’or… dans les boues des égoutsJanuary 10, 2020Or, argent, platine : les chercheurs de l’ULB participent à un projet de recherche pour récupérer ces métaux dans les boues résiduaires des stations d’épuration de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale.
