Global Copper Crisis: Do We Have Alternatives?
Did you know that a modern electric vehicle contains, on average, 80 kg of copper? Or that an airplane can have up to 7.5 tons of this metal, and an offshore wind turbine as much as 24 tons?

The Director of IMDEA Materials Institute and Professor at the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), Prof. José Manuel Torralba, has been elected as a new full member of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAI).
IMDEA Materials Institute has unveiled its inaugural internal Proof-of-Concept (PoC) call, Materialise 2025, an ambitious initiative designed to address one of the most significant challenges in the journey from research to market: the so-called “valley of death.”
The medical field has shown a clear trend toward less invasive surgeries in recent decades. The advantages of this approach are numerous: faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and lower risk of complications, among others, which have driven its growing adoption.
IMDEA Materials’ Principal Researcher, Prof. Dr. De Yi Wang, has been awarded an Honorary Professorship by China’s Xi’an Jiaotong University during a special ceremony held at the Institute.
IMDEA Materials Institute and ArcelorMittal have signed a strategic agreement aimed at advancing the development of sustainable solutions and technologies based on materials science and engineering for the steel industry.
IMDEA Materials will continue its research into improving structural health monitoring processes in the aerospace sector following the completion of DOMMINIO.
The Director of IMDEA Materials Institute, Prof. José Manuel Torralba, has highlighted the opportunities to expand collaboration between Spanish research centres and Chinese organisations with the aim of boosting both countries’ R&D&I sectors.
Silicon anode batteries made from nanomaterials; recyclable carbon nanotubes; lab-created living tissues and organs… The impact of supermaterials on our lives has already begun.
Additive manufacturing is revolutionising aerospace by enabling the decentralisation of production and the use of innovative material designs. In order to accelerate R&D in this sector, the University of Cyprus (UCY) will establish an Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Materials Competence Centre.
IMDEA Materials Institute can now count on a new tool in its arsenal for ever-more sustainable materials development, with the formation of a cutting-edge research group set to advance the field of photo- and electro-catalysis.
Experts from the fields of materials science and engineering are set to gather at IMDEA Materials Institute to discuss the innovative technologies and materials with the potential to transform the defence sector.
Prof. Javier LLorca, Scientific Director of IMDEA Materials Institute, has been awarded the 2024 Annual Award from the International Magnesium Society (IMS) in Chongqing, China.
IMDEA Materials Institute has taken a major step forward in advanced fire safety testing with the installation of cutting-edge equipment capable of testing battery casings under extreme conditions.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials and IMDEA Nanoscience, in collaboration with the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) and Nanjing University, have taken a novel approach to studying the interaction between certain topological metamaterials and sound wave propagation.
Prof. Eugenio Oñate, President of the IMDEA Materials Board of Trustees, has witnessed remarkable advancements and challenges in computational mechanics over nearly 50 years.
In the context of scientific development in Spain, a new initiative has emerged aimed at advancing the field of Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering (RMT).
The excitement and adrenaline of the racetrack may seem worlds away from studying for a PhD in the labs of a scientific institute like IMDEA Materials.
