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
A new study by researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute in association with the University of Cambridge demonstrates how mechanical instabilities in architected lattices can be precisely controlled to enable complex, functional deformations.
Accelerated materials discovery, optimisation of composite materials inspection, and characterisation of the next generation of bioabsorbable implants. These are just three of the research lines being developed by the new cohort of the Young Researchers Programme (at the IMDEA Materials Institute.
From CO₂ capture to drug delivery, porous materials are becoming essential in a wide range of applications. Among them are the so-called metal-organic frameworks or MOFs, a type of crystal derived from nanotechnology.
