The jury of the 2024 Awards of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics-BBVA Foundation has awarded physicist Daniel Martín Jiménez, from the PCSI group (ICMAB-CSIC), the prize in the category of Best Contribution to Dissemination in the publications of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics[1]. In this context, the specialist in Nanotechnology presented his work entitled “Molecular Chefs”. The jury unanimously highlighted “the originality of Daniel Martín’s article, published in the journal of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics, in presenting the fundamentals and practical application of nanotechnology. The parallelism established between nanotechnology and molecular cuisine, two fields in which Spain stands out internationally, allows the reader to become familiar with the basic procedures of these disciplines in a pleasant, close and rigorous way.

On 6th September, Prof. Camen Ocal retired. She has been a research professor at ICMAB-CSIC, leading the PCSI Group since 2007. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to science, exemplifying how to conduct excellent, rigorous and honest research. Equally dedicated to promoting gender equality in science and education, she has been an inspiring role model.  She has directed the work of 12 PhD students who currently hold positions in scientific and technological centres or universities. The group is very grateful for her work during all this time, and we wish her all the best for the new path in her life!
