A new 'cloud' platform to reduce the test time for software projects for large systems. The ElasTest Project offers an "open source" platform for carrying out tests "end-to-end" in a rapid and reliable manner, thereby increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the software testing process and the quality of the system that is being tested.  The ElasTest platform will supply capacity for carrying out advanced tests which will help to increase the scalability, robustness, security and quality of experience of currently distributed systems. In short, it will allow any development team to create faster software with fewer defects.  The new cloud platform will furthermore create a community of users and contributors around it who can contribute to the task of transforming ElasTest into a worldwide reference standard in the field of systems testing in the cloud.  The ElasTest Consortium is managed by Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and includes among its members the Technische Universität Berlin, the Centro Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Zurich University of Applied Sciences and Fraunhofer FOKUS. It also enjoys the participation of different institutions from industry such as Atos Spain, IBM, IMDEA Software Institute, NAEVATEC and RELATIONAL SA.

Researchers from URJC have launched DESILICO, a 3D simulation and visualisation tool development company aimed at the textile sector. The researchers, Miguel Ángel Otaduy, Jorge López, Eder Miguel and Gabriel Cirio, have started up DESILICO, a company which commercially develops computer tools which were once restricted to research. DESILICO will be devoted to "developing and offering tools which through 3D simulation and visualisation offer solutions to the textile marketplace in its phases of design and testing", indicates Otaduy. The idea came to light as a result of the work of the Multimodal Simulation Lab Research Group at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, led by Miguel Ángel Otaduy, who has carried on his work on the simulation of ordinary objects and materials with applications running from anatomic simulation or simulation for the textile industry, DESILICO'S business area. DESILICO was created in the context of the ERC Starting Grant Animetrics project, financed by the European Research Council, aimed at financing research of excellence in the European Union.

The human impact on the Antarctic Peninsula from the presence of emerging contaminants. Researchers from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain warn of the possible environmental consequences. These chemicals reach the Antarctic as a result of the dumping of sewage, incineration of wastes and the widespread generation of refuse. The results of this work have been published in highly-prestigious scientific journals. In the article published in Environmental Research, information is given on the presence of substances of human origin with the capacity to damage the hormonal system. The most important among the heavy metals are the concentrations of aluminium, a metal which interferes in the activity of a range of hormones and in the neurological and reproductive systems. On the other hand, in the work published online in the Environmental Pollution journal, evidence is given of the presence of twelve drugs, such as Diclofenac and Ibuprofen. Caffeine and ephedrine, which is habitually used for medical purposes, have likewise been found.

3D printing on fabric to create complex 3D structures A team of computer science researchers from Disney Research and the University Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid have developed a design tool software that makes it possible to 3D print smooth curved surfaces in a fast and cost-efficient manner. The process enabled by the design software involes 3D printing planar curve networks (a bit like a 2D skeleton structure) onto a pre-stretched piece of fabric. When the fabric is cut into a pre-determined shape after printing, it contracts into a specific structure determined by the 3D printed pattern. The result is a complex 3D shape. The 3D printed fabric structures, called Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces, were inspired by the work of Swiss designer Christophe Guberan, who has collaborated with MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab and is known for his experiments with materials and technology. Guberan reportedly experimented with the 3D printing on fabric process in 2015. According to Bernhard Thomaszewski, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal who used to work for Disney Research, the Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces are surprisingly easy to make.

Se crean dos nuevos Vicerrectorados: el de Digitalización e Internacionalización, y el de Planificación y Estrategia.
