Abstract: Our understanding of natural processes in the life sciences is very strongly dependent on our ability to observe in sufficient detail how an organism’s biochemical processes evolve, and how they connect to that organism’s overall behaviour. This is partially

Abstract: Metal halide perovskites have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their outstanding physico-chemical properties and excellent performance in diverse photocatalytic reactions. However, most studies focus on lead-based perovskites, whose toxicity has driven the search for safer alternatives.

Abstract: Joint replacement is rightfully considered one of the most techno-clinical success stories of the latter part of the 20th Century with numerous patients particularly those of advancing years having improved quality of life. Despite the latest range of materials

Abstract: With the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) in underground parking garages, new fire risks emerge that are not adequately addressed by current safety standards. Our research tackles this urgent issue by developing a targeted fire suppression solution. Through

Abstract: The performance of metallic materials under cryogenic conditions is critical for advancing technologies in aerospace, hydrogen economy, and superconductivity. However, designing alloys for these extreme environments is challenging due to the complex interplay of deformation mechanisms that are activated

The PhD defence will take place in Aula 225, Departamental I, Campus de Alcorcón. How to get there: Google Maps – Campus de Alcorcón (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos)https://www.google.com/maps/search/Campus+de+Alcorcón+Universidad+Rey+Juan+Carlos The dissertation is titled “Construction of Efficient Intumescent Flame-Retardant Systems Based on

On January 16th, 2026, Guillermo Dominguez will defend his doctoral thesis entitled “Effects “of chemical composition, surface treatments, and processing technique on the corrosion and cytocompatibility of Zn and Mg alloys. It was advised by Prof. Javier Llorca and Dr.

Abstract: The moiré effect is an interference phenomenon that occurs when two regular geometric arrangements are superimposed, resulting in large-scale fringe patterns that become particularly prominent at acute angles. These arrangements produce waves with noticeable moiré wavelengths, a characteristic extensively

Abstract: Understanding how cells sense and respond to mechanical cues is a central challenge in mechanobiology, yet current experimental platforms offer limited control over dynamic and spatially heterogeneous mechanical environments. In this talk, I will introduce our work at the

Abstract: Trillions of dollars of polymer products, such as wires and cables, hydrogels, tires, heat shrinkable films, wood plastic for floor, tubes, etching, disinfection, harm removal, 3D printing, and coating etc. have been recreated by electron beam (EB) technology every

The PhD defence will take place on Aula 31, first floor, at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. How to get there: Campus, Calle del Prof. Aranguren, 3, 28040 Madrid. The dissertation is titled “Fire-safe lithium-ion batteries: material, assessment, and mechanism”.

Abstract: The first part of the talk will be on the challenges and the potential solutions of titanium (Ti)-based alloy processing through Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing. AM, which allows the realisation of a metallic component with

Abstract: Since the advent of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, mRNA has become one of the most promising nucleic acid therapeutics. However, a major challenge now is how to deliver mRNA to targeting cells effectively and increase mRNA expression yield but de-risk

Abstract: Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys represent a promising class of materials for next-generation biomedical implants, particularly endoluminal devices. Their major limitation, however, lies in the difficulty of controlling corrosion in the aggressive physiological environment, where chloride-rich solutions promote rapid dissolution

Abstract: “Additive manufacturing processes are predominantly governed by complex thermomechanical interactions that critically influence the mechanical properties and the quality of the final product. This study first developed a mathematical framework of general small-strain thermo-mechanics that can incorporate an arbitrary

Abstract:In this talk, José Luis Plaza will briefly discuss the development of Crystal Semiconductor Technologies company, born at the Crystal Growth Laboratory of the Autonomous University of Madrid (LCC-UAM). He will introduce how the knowledge gained from more than 40

Abstract: Beyond its capability to create intricate geometries, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is a powerful tool for tailoring the microstructure of metallic materials. By carefully adjusting process parameters, L-PBF enables fine tuning of crystallographic textures – a particularly critical
