Abstract: Reconstructing the morphology of aerogels presents significant challenges if 3D visualizations of their mesoporous nanostructure are desired. Available microscopic and tomographic tools find it difficult to probe into all types of aerogels for the purposes of reconstructing their 3D

Abstract: We all are very familiar with graphene and carbon nanotubes and their extraordinary electronic and mechanical properties. Both materials are composed of sp2 carbon atoms; their structures look very similar locally but exhibit different properties due to the way

Abstract: Systems with broken continuous symmetry in ideal lattices cannot be rectified through rearrangement or deformation. Topological metamaterials featuring nontrivial, artificially induced phase transitions have emerged as pivotal constituents for engineering these topological defects, which, until now, have mostly been

The PhD Defense will take place at 10:30 am, in the Aula de Grados (Padre Soler), of the University Carlos III of Madrid in Leganes. The dissertation is entitled “Development of Ti-Fe-based powders for laser additive manufacturing of ultrafine lamellar

The PhD Defense will take place at 11:30 am, in the Concepción Arenal Building, room 14.0.11, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid – Getafe Campus.The defense will have a public part and a confidential part. The dissertation is entitled “Binder Jetting:

On Friday, September 29, in the auditorium of the Madrid Student Residence, researchers from the IMDEA Institutes will tell us what lines of research and what specific projects are being developed in their centers. These experts recently published a benchmark

The PhD Defense will take place at 11:00 am, in the Sala Echegaray, E. T. S. de Ingenieros de Caminos, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid. The dissertation is entitled “Fatigue behavior and fatigue crack initiation micromechanisms of rolled AZ31 Mg alloy”. It

Abstract: The structures of materials play a critical role in defining their unique properties and applications. In particular, the engineering of materials to enhance their performance or understand their defect, dislocation, impurity, or catalytic activity requires knowledge of atomistic-level structures.

Abstract: The morphology of grains produced during metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be very different from that given by conventional processing and is central to controlling the properties of the final build. In addition, the interfacial velocities and temperature gradients

Abstract: Digital Light Processing (DLP)[1] is an additive manufacturing technology based on a Vat photopolymerisation process. 3D objects are manufactured layer upon layer by projecting 2D light patterns onto a liquid photocurable resin. This fast and accurate process is usually

Abstract: Various metals have been used as battery anodes in electrochemical cells ever since the birth of the batteries with Volta’s pile and in the first commercialized primary (Zn/MnO2, Leclanché 1866) and secondary (Pb/acid, Planté 1859) batteries. Li-MoS2 cells, employing

Abstract: What role has metallurgy played in the technological development of our civilization as we know it? How is metallurgy linked to the so-called green technologies? How is metallurgy related to the development of new ways of generating energy? What

Abstract: Fe-based soft magnetic bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have shown unprecedented magnetization saturation and coercivity values and are thus envisioned as potential candidates to increase the efficiency of electromagnetic components. Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF) allows to manufacture relatively large

Abstract:The modeling of plastic deformation over the length scales has still been a challengeable problem. One of the most crucial defect interactions related to the plasticity is the reaction between the dislocation and GB, that is, GB strengthening of Hall-Petch

Abstract The increasing awareness for the reduction of environmental damage caused by synthetic polymers is contributing to the growth of sustainable biopolymer sectors. In the last decade, numerous research resources have been devoted to replace the fossil-based polymers available in

The PhD Defense will take place at 12:00 am, in the “Salón de Grados – Edificio Padre Soler” of the University Carlos III of Madrid in Leganes. The dissertation is entitled “Facilitating development of special clays by incorporation of machine
