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.
IMDEA Materials Institute has launched a new call for positions within the ‘Programa Investigo 2026’, an initiative aimed at promoting the incorporation of young people into the fields of research and innovation.
IMDEA Materials Institute recently brought together leading industrial and research figures in Barcelona for its 8th Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting, focused on shaping future collaboration in advanced materials, AI-driven innovation and technology transfer.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a multifunctional Kevlar-based composite material that combines structural performance with integrated strain sensing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and de-icing functionalities.
Three of IMDEA Materials’ research group leaders have been recognised among the leading female researchers in Spain in a recently released ranking of active female researchers from CSIC’s Cybermetrics Lab.
From the visionary imagination of Isaac Asimov to the pioneering experiments of Stanley Miller, science has spent decades trying to answer one of humanity’s deepest questions: how did life arise?
Floatech, the first spin-off company created by IMDEA Materials Institute, has been awarded the Multidisciplinary Innovation Award for a project that combines materials science, process engineering and industrial transfer to accelerate the development of next-generation batteries.
Nearly half a century after beginning his studies, Prof. Javier LLorca was honoured at his Alma Mater, the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) last Friday, as he was added to the university’s School of Engineering (Caminos UPM) Hall of Distinguished People.
Can you imagine a T-shirt stronger than steel, more conductive than copper, and as light as silk? It is no longer science fiction. Research into new materials is exploring fibres based on physicochemical phenomena that once inspired Kevlar.
