Replacing fossil fuels brings with it challenges and side effects that must be considered by all parties involved in Europe’s energy transition, vital to our future. To begin with, however, we must ask one seemingly obvious, but often forgotten question: do we have the materials to make the change?

IMDEA Materials Institute postdoctoral researcher, Dr. María de Nicolás Morillas, will be one of seven IMDEA investigadors participating in this year’s European Researchers’ Night Madrid.

With the arrival of September, IMDEA Materials is bidding farewell to many of the young researchers and support staff who have joined the Institute in the last 12 months as part of the ‘I Investigate Programme’.

More than four million bone graft and bone replacement procedures are performed each year globally. This number is expected to increase dramatically over coming decades as life expectancies rise.

IMDEA Materials Institute will have on-site access to one of the world’s most advanced mechanical testing devices after Principal Investigator Dr. Ilchat Sabirov was announced as the winner of Plastometrex’s 2023 Research Competition.
