We are looking for postdoctoral researchers willing to apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship (PF) in call 2022. Our Institute has a long track record of hosting MSCA fellows and has obtained excellent success rates in recent
Pioneering work in the field of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) technology carried out by IMDEA Materials has been showcased in Actualidad Aeroespacial, highlighting its potential future importance in the aerospace sector. New developments in CNTs achieved by IMDEA Materials researchers were
3D tissue models can be used in vitro (in the lab) for the study of diseases and the testing of novel drugs, including their incorporation into microfluidic devices to form the so-called “organ-on-chip” systems. 3D tissue models can also be
Our researchers keep developing multi-scale simulation methods to optimize 3D-printed “lattice” structures under the MOAMMM project. Their predictions were recently checked in an egg drop challenge, as highlighted in this article by 3Printr.com magazine.
The “hydrogen economy” is currently hindered by the low rate and efficiency of hydrogen production from water and energy generation by hydrogen oxidation into water. The former process is controlled by the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER), the cathodic reaction during
Hydrogels can be formed from polymers or from small molecules, from either natural or synthetic sources. Further, they can be classified by the types of bonds that form the hydrogel network – either covalent or non-covalent. Supramolecular hydrogels, particularly those
Our colleague Carmen Martínez-Alonso, member of the Bio/Chemo/Mechanics of Materials group, has obtained a Fulbright predoctoral scholarship to spend six months at the Center for Interface Science and Catalysis (SUNCAT), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University. She will work under
On the 22nd of March, the IMDEA Materials Institute held the second meeting of its Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) at the facilities of Airbus in Illescas (Toledo). The activities related to this meeting began the previous day with the talk that Stéphane Cotte, Technical
Two Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship have been awarded to our Institute in call 2021, and 2 more are high on the reserve list. We submitted 11 proposals, and they received marks in the range of 97 – 59 out of
UNIYARNS will be the second European Research Council (ERC) grant awarded to Juan José Vilatela, who in 2016 was awarded a Starting Grant entitled STEM to study structural energy harvesting composite materials. After a successful project that led to many
The next 29th of March, from 1.00 to 2.00 PM, we will host a webinar on “data-driven approaches to smartly engineered porous materials” imparted by our Principal Researcher Maciej Haranczyk. The webinar will tackle the following topics: Applications of machine
IMDEA Materials participated at the ‘XI Madrid is Science Fair’ at IFEMA, together with the other IMDEA Institutes from the 2nd to the 5th of March . Great success in participation! It was organized by the Fundación para el Conocimiento
The Madrid Regional Government celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of the creation of the Madrid Institutes for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) on 25 February at the Real Casa de Correos. The event was attended by the directors, researchers and staff of the
Next 16th of March, IMDEA Materials will host the first “3D printing session in Madrid”. The event will showcase developments done by IMDEA Materials in the project MAT4.0, funded by the regional government, CDTI funding opportunities for companies, the success
If a day is commemorated, it is because something special has happened or will happen. Since 2016, the 11th of February has a different nuance. Each year brings a louder voice that reminds us that science is one, universal and
Equal opportunities for men and women are one of our core principles, together with fostering a tolerant, diverse and creative working environment for all. Take a look at our recently released gender equality plan!
Juan José Vilatela, head of our group on multifunctional nanocomposites, explains the work Floatech company is doing for producing simpler, more sustainable batteries in this interview on Spain’s National Radio.
We just kicked off the iMPLANTS-CM project (Printing metamaterials using shape memory alloys and functional gradients for a new generation of smart implants) in collaboration with the Technical University of Madrid. The project aims to design and manufacture active implants
