22 INESC TEC researchers attended the conference held in Aveiro.
23rd July 2024
The work developed by INESC TEC researchers on optical fibre featured on the cover of the February edition of the international scientific journal Sensors (MDPI). The work presented demonstrated a proof of concept to increase the sensitivity of sensors in fibre optics, using a Graphene Oxide (GO) coating for aqueous glucose solutions in a concentration range of 25 to 200 mg/dL - a common range in blood studies.

MyNPK is a smart photonics solution that combines spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence to quantify nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) in liquid fertilisers - in situ and in real time. The technology was developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) and allows to manage and optimise the use of fertilisers according to the plants' nutritional needs. The goal? To improve production, reduce fertiliser waste and reuse, minimise water consumption and environmental impact. Thanks to this technology, INESC TEC won the third place in the Innovation Prize awarded by the European Association EARTO (European Association of Research and Technology Organisations).
