We have installed a modular desalination plant through Sacyr Water in collaboration with the Universidad de Playa Ancha and we are assessing how to use saltwater and groundwater to apply desalination in industrial facilities.

A team of researchers are developing an "underwater Wi-Fi" that works beneath the waves. This and other systems are used to connect to the Internet in remote places such as the ocean, Antarctica and outer space.

Drones are particularly useful for delivering packages or carrying out search-and-rescue missions. But there is still no effective way to keep them powered up for long periods of time. So a team of Chinese researchers is planning to remotely recharge them with laser beams.

A joint venture led by Sacyr has built a singular infrastructure in the Hernani-Astigarraga rail section: an impressive 482-meter viaduct. 

Is the most widely used building material on Earth—concrete—a good choice for building in space? Some researchers think so. We analyse the materials and challenges involved in achieving this science fiction goal.
