We are pleased to announce the publication of IMDEA Materials’ 2025 Annual Report, providing a comprehensive overview of the Institute’s activities, scientific achievements and institutional developments throughout the past year.
IMDEA Materials Institute has developed mechanically tunable hydrogel membranes that closely mimic the mechanical environment of human skin while remaining highly biocompatible, representing an improved platform for skin tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Within the broad field of advanced therapies, which includes cell therapy and gene therapy, tissue engineering has emerged as one of the most promising tools for transforming the medicine of the future.
IMDEA Materials Institute is pleased to announce the successful completion of the selection process for the ATENEA call, marking an important milestone in the implementation of this Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND programme coordinated by IMDEA Materials Institute.
IMDEA Materials Institute and the University of Tennessee have established a partnership to provide research fellowship opportunities for PhD students in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering to complete the research component of their degree program at both locations, effective July 1, 2026.
A new European initiative, MaterialsCommons, has launched to bring together shared digital resources, such as data and workflow tools, to form a connected European infrastructure that can be accessed through a single entry point.
The next time you open a yoghurt, peel the film off a ready meal, or throw away a disposable coffee cup, take a moment to consider where that item will end up. In most cases, the honest answer is: it will still be here, in one form or another, long after everyone reading this sentence has disappeared.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based strategy to predict and assess the fire resistance of epoxy resins, one of the most widely used polymers in industry.
IMDEA Materials researchers came together on Tuesday for the first edition of the IMDEA Materials Soft Matter Summer Meeting, an internal initiative designed to encourage scientific exchange.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute and the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology (ICTP-CSIC) have developed an innovative biodegradable multilayer film capable of protecting and controlling the release of anthocyanins inside the body.
As electric vehicles become increasingly common on our roads, ensuring the safety of their battery systems has become a critical challenge for manufacturers and regulators alike. A new initiative at IMDEA Materials, EV Shield, aims to address one of the most significant risks associated with lithium-ion batteries: thermal runaway.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a new hybrid methodology that combines quantum mechanics and thermodynamic calculations to predict the phase diagram of nickel-cobalt alloys.
IMDEA Materials Institute welcomed a delegation from Abioinnova and Salamanca City Council earlier this week to explore potential collaborations in additive manufacturing technologies for the biomedical sector.
