IMDEA Materials Institute celebrated Science Week 2022 with a visit from students from Colegio Retamar in Madrid. The BIOMET4D and BioImplant-ITN projects were a focus of the activities with predoctoral researchers Ángela Castro María from the Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine
Professor Andrés Díaz Lantada and Dr. Jon Molina-Aldareguia, of the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) and IMDEA Materials Institute, have highlighted the “significant advances” made in 4D printing, shape-morphing materials and medical devices thanks to the iMPLANTS-CM project. Their comments
– Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, in collaboration with the Technical University of Madrid and Rey Juan Carlos University have developed a new smart mask capable of monitoring a wearer’s breathing. – The mask has numerous advantages over smart masks
10 IMDEA Materials scientists have been included in Stanford University’s annual lists of the world’s top 2% of scientists. The rankings, which include separate lists dedicated to research activities from the previous 12 months and on lifetime achievement, are based
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute are working on fire safety systems that can detect and warn of the risk of fire danger before a fire breaks out. Fire alarms generally operate by detecting the presence of smoke, open flame, and/or
IMDEA Materials researchers are working on developing a new composite solid-state electrolyte (CSSE) with flame-retardant properties for lithium-ion batteries. The research aims to address one of the key concerns facing the current generation of lithium-ion energy storage devices, their reliance
A new international project coordinated by IMDEA Materials Institute is dedicated to porous metal structures which combine lightweight with high strength. The high surface-to-volume ratio of porous metals, together with optimisable mechanical properties, makes them promising candidates in various emerging
Visiting researcher Dr. Douglas Spearot is hopeful that his collaboration with IMDEA Materials will result in improved simulation techniques to predict plasticity and microstructure evolution in metals, providing key benefits for the aeronautical and automotive industries. Dr. Spearot has joined
New recyclable sandwich-structured composites could replace environmentally harmful materials used in a range of industries and offer improved performance and designability than existing composites. The Madrid Institute of Advanced Studies in Materials Science (IMDEA Materials Institute) is playing its part
The recently-launched CONSTRUCTADD project, coordinated by the Politecnico di Milano, is focused on implementing metal 3D printing in the steel construction sector to reduce waste and emissions. IMDEA Materials’ role in the project will involve developing improved post-processing heat treatment
As a member of the HIPped Ultrafan IPT Casing (HUC) project, led by Spanish engine and turbine manufacturer ITP Aero, IMDEA Materials was involved in the development of the UltraFan’s Intermediate Pressure Turbine’s (IPT) casing. The UltraFan® demonstrator is the
As a part of the European Union’s DOMMINIO project, IMDEA Materials Institute is helping to create embedded smart sensors which will provide real-time updates on aircraft during flight to engineers on the ground. These sensors, which will be manufactured from
IMDEA Materials Institute researcher Juan de Pablos Gómez can’t pinpoint exactly when his interest in the far reaches of the universe beyond our own small corner of the Milky Way first arose. It´s just something he assumes he was born
Professor Javier Llorca speaks with journalist David Callejo about IMDEA Materials’ work developing a new generation of biodegradable, shape-morphing implants. Prof. Llorca highlighted the recently-launched, European Innovation Council-funded Horizon Europe BIOMET4D project as an example of IMDEA Materials’ strong commitment
Newspaper La Razón and television channel Telemadrid are two of the outlets to have covered the launch of the new Horizon Europe, European Innovation Council-funding BIOMET4D project. The €3.5 million inititiative to develop smart, biodegradable, shape-shifting implants is being coordinated
The BIOMET4D project aims to create a new generation of biodegradable implants capable of shape change and load-bearing for dynamic tissue restoration to provide improved health outcomes in the treatment of craniosynostosis and skin expansion procedures. IMDEA Materials Institute leads
– Researcher Jonathan Espinoza underlines that the automation of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) represents a clear opportunity to reduce costs and save time at both the industrial and research level. – Espinoza holds a scholarship from the Youth Employment Program
Dr. Antoine Jerusalem admits it was a gamble joining a fledgling IMDEA Materials Institute back in 2008, but there’s no doubt in his mind that the bold bet more than paid off. Jerusalem, currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at
