“We applied large electric fields or a molecule, which promote the chemical reaction”, notes Cortijos. This advance, published in an article in Nature, opens the door to a faster and more economic production of chemical compounds used in a great range of pharmaceutical products and applied materials. That is, the process takes place without a catalysing substance. In particular, the research uses an electric field to provoke a catalysis (an acceleration of a chemical reaction). The research study by Albert Cortijos, a milestone in molecular electronics, is the awardee of the Ramon Margalef Prize to the top research published in a distinguished journal in the field of experimental and health sciences derived from a doctoral thesis. The study is collected in a doctoral thesis supervised by the emeritus professor of Economics María Teresa Costa and Elisa Trujillo (UdLl) and has been published in the article Analysing electricity flows and congestion: Looking at locational patterns. The awarded study gives some recommendations regarding energy policies, such as “promotion policies of renewable energies (auctions) including locational incentives to promote a more distributed and balanced location across the territory”. Nowadays, areas with a higher concentration of renewable generation, such as the Northwestern area of the Iberian Peninsula, show higher congestion levels of the electric network than the others in the rest of the territory. It concludes that the current location of the combined and central cycles of co-generation is efficient, while the wind energy has to go a longer distance to reach the great consumption areas. The José Manuel Blecua Prize, given to the top article published in a distinguished journal in the field of humanities and social sciences resulting from a doctoral thesis, was given to a research study by Daniel Daví, on the location of the energy production in Spain.
