IMDEA Materials researchers came together on Tuesday for the first edition of the IMDEA Materials Soft Matter Summer Meeting, an internal initiative designed to encourage scientific exchange.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute and the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (ICTP-CSIC) have developed an innovative biodegradable multilayer film capable of protecting and controlling the release of anthocyanins inside the body.
As electric vehicles become increasingly common on our roads, ensuring the safety of their battery systems has become a critical challenge for manufacturers and regulators alike. A new initiative at IMDEA Materials, EV Shield, aims to address one of the most significant risks associated with lithium-ion batteries: thermal runaway.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a new hybrid methodology that combines quantum mechanics and thermodynamic calculations to predict the phase diagram of nickel-cobalt alloys.
IMDEA Materials Institute welcomed a delegation from Abioinnova and Salamanca City Council earlier this week to explore potential collaborations in additive manufacturing technologies for the biomedical sector.
IMDEA Materials Institute has launched a new call for positions within the ‘Programa Investigo 2026’, an initiative aimed at promoting the incorporation of young people into the fields of research and innovation.
IMDEA Materials Institute recently brought together leading industrial and research figures in Barcelona for its 8th Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting, focused on shaping future collaboration in advanced materials, AI-driven innovation and technology transfer.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a multifunctional Kevlar-based composite material that combines structural performance with integrated strain sensing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and de-icing functionalities.
Three of IMDEA Materials’ research group leaders have been recognised among the leading female researchers in Spain in a recently released ranking of active female researchers from CSIC’s Cybermetrics Lab.
From the visionary imagination of Isaac Asimov to the pioneering experiments of Stanley Miller, science has spent decades trying to answer one of humanity’s deepest questions: how did life arise?
Floatech, the first spin-off company created by IMDEA Materials Institute, has been awarded the Multidisciplinary Innovation Award for a project that combines materials science, process engineering and industrial transfer to accelerate the development of next-generation batteries.
Nearly half a century after beginning his studies, Prof. Javier LLorca was honoured at his Alma Mater, the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) last Friday, as he was added to the university’s School of Engineering (Caminos UPM) Hall of Distinguished People.
Can you imagine a T-shirt stronger than steel, more conductive than copper, and as light as silk? It is no longer science fiction. Research into new materials is exploring fibres based on physicochemical phenomena that once inspired Kevlar.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials and the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with research institutes in France and Japan, have achieved a significant breakthrough in better understanding the fracture mechanics of additively manufactured metals.
Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibres with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminium.
A recent publication from IMDEA Materials Institute and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) presents a major step forward in bringing real-time simulation capabilities to composite manufacturing processes.
IMDEA Materials has achieved a new milestone in attracting talent and securing European research funding, after being awarded two projects in the latest call of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks.
New research into the crystallisation process of additively manufactured Finemet alloys offers a promising roadmap toward optimising the production of soft-magnetic components produced via metallic glasses.
