A team made up of researchers from the departments of Physical Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry (Juan Andrés Bort), Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Eloísa Cordoncillo and Héctor Beltrán) and Physics (Gladys Mínguez) from the Universitat Jaume I, in collaboration with the Centre for the Development of Functional Materials (CDMF) and the FAPESP Centre for Research, Innovation and Diffusion (CEPID) based at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil have developed a new material with antifungal and antitumour properties. The team was directed by the lecturer Elson Longo.

The compound has been obtained from a sample of a mixed tungsten-silver oxide (α-Ag2WO4) irradiated with electrons and laser beams with pulses on a femtosecond scale in which chemical reactions occur, with exchanges of electrons between atoms and molecules. Results have been published in an article in the journal *Scientific Reports* (Nature) in 2019.
