“Cooling blankets” are the algorithm’s latest obsession: videos with millions of views show influencers wrapping themselves in fabrics that, according to them, “absorb body heat.”
Peru has hosted the first-ever international design school in the Americas focused on open-source medical devices, thanks to a unique collaboration between IMDEA Materials Institute, the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), and the University of Piura.
In a breakthrough for regenerative medicine, a new study from IMDEA Materials Institute researchers has demonstrated the potential of 3D-printed carbon microlattices as structurally tunable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
In a first for the field of bioabsorbable metals, researchers have conducted a pioneering comparison of the corrosion resistance of WE43 magnesium and Zn1Mg zinc alloys produced via extrusion and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF).
With the launch of the ATENEA programme, an ambitious initiative offering international postdoctoral fellowships in materials science and engineering, IMDEA Materials Institute is further cementing its role as a hub for scientific excellence and international talent.
The Python package PhaseFieldX, developed by researcher Miguel Castillón at IMDEA Materials Institute, was recently published in the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS).
Having concluded his term as Director of IMDEA Materials, Prof. José Manuel Torralba takes “a very positive view” of the achievements made during his tenure.
Over the course of nearly two decades, Prof. Jon Molina has seen IMDEA Materials Institute grow from little more than a “bold vision” into a world-leading materials science research centre. Yet, having come so far already, from being that vision in 2007, to gather more than 130 researchers from 26 countries today, he knows the journey is far from over.
IMDEA Materials Institute has officially launched the ATENEA programme, a wide-ranging international postdoctoral initiative funded under Horizon Europe’s prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme.
IMDEA Materials recently celebrated our 14th annual Scientific Imaging Contest, featuring images related to materials characterisation, processing, simulation, as well as daily life at the Institute.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2024 Annual Report of IMDEA Materials. This report is designed to provide an overview of the Institute and its main achievements during 2024.
A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IMDEA Materials Institute and China’s National Engineering Research Centre of Light Alloy Net Forming (NERC-LAF), will serve to promote academic and research collaboration between the two institutions.
Talking about a living material might sound a bit strange. We’re used to concrete, steel, plastics, marble, or aluminium, which are clearly not alive.
IMDEA Materials researchers have made an important breakthrough in improving the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles.
Europe is increasingly in a fragile position when it comes to sustaining our future prosperity. We’ve taken on numerous goals to save the planet, but lack the business leadership, innovation, and R&D to remain competitive.
Confronting the challenges and opportunities for R&D&I in the current geopolitical landscape was one of the key topics up for discussion as IMDEA Materials Institute today hosted its 7th Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting.
IMDEA Materials Institute and Yanshan University have signed an agreement to establish the International Joint Laboratory on Intelligent Computing Integrated Metallic Materials Innovative Processing.
As IMDEA Materials continues to grow, particularly with the increasing number of predoctoral researchers, it has become more important than ever to find effective ways of sharing knowledge and identifying in-house expertise. In a bid to address this challenge, the
