A research team at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has developed technology using advanced machine learning techniques that detects signs of gender violence from paralinguistic characteristics of the voice such as tone, rhythm, and intensity. This innovative method helps to recognize situations of psychological stress or trauma while preserving the privacy of the speakers, which could have major implications for telephone helplines and telemedicine services.

According to a study by UC3M and UNIZAR. A study by UC3M and UNIZAR published in PLOS Climate uncovers hidden patterns of climate change by analyzing the entire temperature distribution rather than just the mean, as is common in most analyses. The research reveals that the West Coast states are experiencing increases in their highest annual temperatures, whereas many northern states show warming in the lower temperature range.

Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and Yale University (USA) have published a comprehensive review article in the journal Cell that proposes a new framework for understanding neutrophils, the most abundant cells of the immune system.

A team of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has developed an innovative algorithm for Wi-Fi networks called "Ponte" that can provide

Published in Nature, the atlas will be freely available to researchers around the world. An international team has published NeuMap, the first atlas to reveal the global architecture of neutrophils, showing how this "first line of defense" reorganizes to protect, remember, and heal. The study-led by scientists at the CNIC, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Yale University, and Westlake University-redefines our understanding of immunity.

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a set of innovative methods and algorithms that improve the performance and precision of vehicle design through topological optimization, a mathematical technique that allows designs to be optimized by distributing materials efficiently.

A scientific study led by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and partly funded by the European Research Council (ERC) has determined that the size and composition of our social support networks directly influence how we perceive our body image. The findings could help us in treating conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, and other eating disorders.

According to the results of the European scientific project InnovaWorking The 4-day working day can increase productivity, improve work-life balance and retain talent when there is a real commitment on the part of the company that promotes it. These are some of the conclusions of InnovaWorking, a European scientific project coordinated by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), which presented today in the European Parliament its research results on innovative working time policies that have been negotiated between unions and employers in different countries of the European Union.

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Universidad de Cádiz have carried out a study aimed at understanding and addressing the problem of rural depopulation. To tackle this issue, the researchers propose an approach in which the set of policies, regulations and strategies that organize urban and rural development are integrated into the design of local development policies.

Breakthrough achieved by UC3M and Harvard scientists A team of scientists from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Harvard University have experimentally demonstrated that it is possible to reprogram the mechanical and structural behaviour of innovative artificial materials with magnetic properties, known as metamaterials, without the need to modify their composition.

According to a UC3M and CSIC study The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC in the Spanish acronym), has carried out research to evaluate whether political representatives in Spain respond equally to the demands of women and men. The results of the study, which show a gender inequality in the political response to citizens' demands, could have implications both for the design of future public policies and for the debate on gender equality.

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with Escuela Politécnica del Ecuador and the ASEPEYO hospitals in Barcelona and Madrid, has developed a system of exercise video games (or exergames) that promotes the rehabilitation of people with mobility problems in their hands and wrists.

A team of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has developed an innovative technique that allows the production of regular oil lenses of uniform size on the surface of water in a simple and reproducible fashion. The technique will facilitate the study of the behaviour of oily substances dispersed on water surfaces.

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has carried out a study which shows the desire among Spanish society to have mechanisms in place which ensure the veracity of the news they receive through the media on health issues.

Scientists from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with a research team from Ericsson and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, have developed an artificial intelligence-based software programme that can search for information and make recommendations for biomedical image analysis.

Called Real Influence Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Universidad de León (ULE) and São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil have developed an indicator which is more robust, clear and fair than 'impact factor', which has been widely used for decades to evaluate academic and scientific journals.

A team of researchers from the Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC, UIB-CSIC), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), has experimentally demonstrated that indirect connections in a social network have a significant impact on the adoption of innovations.

International collaboration to uncover how cells communicate through vibrations Organisms of all shapes and sizes communicate by vibrating the solid stuff of their environments, and initial evidence suggests that individual cells in our bodies might do the same. A team of researchers from Israel, the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States have been awarded a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the Human Frontier Science Program to study this potentially transformative new mode of cell-to-cell communication.

Advertisers systematically pay more to show online ads to women than to men, especially in highly developed nations, according to research from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and IMDEA Networks. This gender-based price discrimination in digital marketing, known as the "pink tax", contributes to increasing gender inequality, as women are charged more to access similar products and services.
