Los talleres, realizados en pequeños grupos, integran experimentos sencillos, fundamentos teóricos y aplicaciones didácticas, fomentando una comprensión más profunda y significativa de los conceptos científicos.
👩‍🏫 Profesores del Departamento de Química de la Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) han desarrollado un innovador programa de talleres experimentales destinado a fortalecer la competencia científica de los futuros maestros.
🔬 La experimentación científica como herramienta didáctica en la educación primaria

En el marco de la LOMLOE, la enseñanza de la ciencia en primaria apuesta por un aprendizaje práctico. Pero… ¿cómo pueden los maestros generalistas diseñar experiencias experimentales eficaces en el aula?
🔍 Through QTAIM, NCIplot, and EDA analyses, the authors reveal how the geometry, length, and substitution degree of aliphatic chains govern the strength and nature of these weak forces — offering insights relevant to molecular recognition, catalysis, and solid-state chemistry.
🧪✨ Are Noncovalent C–H···Au Bonds Comparable to C–H···π Bonds?

In this theoretical study by Sergi Burguera and Antonio Bauzá, supramolecular C–H···Au and C–H···π interactions were explored using calculations on aliphatic chains with Au surfaces and graphene fragments.

The monolith shows an impressive adsorption capacity of 307 mg g⁻¹ for diclofenac, reaching >70 % removal in only 5 minutes! ⏱️
Adsorption is driven by electrostatic and π–π interactions and pore filling, ensuring rapid and selective pollutant capture.
