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
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.
From April 8 to 10, IMDEA Materials welcomed 18 students from five schools across the Madrid region as part of the 4ESO+Empresa programme.
Our director, Prof. Jose Manuel Torralba, participated in a meeting between the president of CSIC, the Deputy Minister of Universities, Research, and Science, and the management of the IMDEA Institutes.
Last Monday, IMDEA Materials Institute had the pleasure of welcoming the Rector of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Prof. Óscar García Suárez, along with a university delegation, to discuss ways to strengthen and expand the existing ties between our two institutions.
