IMDEA Materials has know-how and experience in developing computational high-throughput screening workflows for discovery of hydrogen storage materials. Our focus has been mostly directed towards advanced porous materials such as metal organic frameworks and related materials (Fig. 1). Our customizable
The project CNSTech (Development of gamma prime strengthened CoNi based superalloy for advanced sustainable manufacturing technologies) starts 1st of October 2021 and it will last 24 months.The aim of this project is to development of the next generation Powder Metallurgy
Next 29th of September, Prof. Carlos D. González will present some of the work done in his research group, under the title of “On the use of machine learning for smart manufacturing of structural composites”. The webinar, which will run
We all have a responsibility to try to preserve our environment as best we can. However, if you are involved in research, your responsibility is even greater. At least that is what the researchers at the IMDEA Institutes believe. They
We have set up a cell culture and biomaterials lab to research innovative materials for health care, thanks to Madrid regional Goverment and the state research agency (AEI). This space will allow us to analyse the response of living tissue
Last June 14th, IMDEA Materials held through videoconference the kick-off meeting of its newly formed Industrial Advisory Board (IAB). The goal of this strategic initiative is to bring together a selected group of R&D industrial leaders, experts in technology transfer
Next 14th of July, Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang will present some of the work done in his research group, under the title of “Environmentally Friendly Flame Retardant Materials: from fundamentals to advanced applications”. The webinar, which will run through the
Our Director, José Manuel Torralba, has been awarded the European Materials Gold Medal 2021 by the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS). The European Materials Medal (Gold Medal), established in 1993, is the most prestigious award of the FEMSand is
IMDEA Materials has developed a method to produce highly conducting nanostructured fabrics for use as current collectors or scaffold for active materials in composite electrodes for energy storage and conversion. Integration of these fabrics reduces electrode weight, improves cyclability/durability and
Additive manufacturing, or 3D metal printing, allows to build ultralight and resistant structures with geometries that are impossible to achieve using conventional machining and processing techniques, including complex structures named “lattice”. These are three-dimensional constructions, topologically ordered, formed by the
Grupo Antolín, a worldwide supplier of technological solutions for car interiors, works with IMDEA Materials and IMDEA Energy Institutes in the development of flexible Lithium-ion batteries that can be integrated in interior components of vehicles. The objective is to develop
IMDEA Materials has developed a method to produce highly conducting nanostructured fibres for use as lightweight conductors (see Fig. 1). On a mass basis, these conductors have superior electrical/thermal conductivity and higher ampacity (maximum current density) than most metals. Their
IMDEA Materials has a proprietary method to produce continuous sheets of nanostructured Silicon [1] (see Fig. 1) and their integration as high capacity anodes in Lithium-ion batteries without use of processing solvents or polymers. The electrodes combine high capacity (>
On the 27th of April, after an international open selection process was concluded, Prof. Jose Manuel Torralba was appointed Director of IMDEA Materials Institute by the Board of Trustees. Prof. Torralba takes over from Prof. Ignacio Romero, who has been
We are looking for post-doctoral researchers willing to apply for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF), call 2021. Our Institute has a long track record of hosting MSCA fellows and has obtained outstanding success rates in recent calls of
Next May 25th we organize a joint conference with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology to explore collaboration opportunities in the field of composite materials.
The University of Standford just published its “Ranking of the World Scientists: World´s Top 2% Scientists“. The ranking, which analyses data from Scopus like the number of articles published, the career-long citation impact up until the end of 2019 and
The science carried out in Madrid regions is amongst the world’s best, thanks in part to the researchers at the IMDEA Institutes. More information in this article from ABC newspaper.
