IMDEA Materials Institute is seeking postdoctoral researchers for call 2024 of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship (PF) programme (deadline 11/09/2024).
IMDEA Materials Institute researchers have unveiled an innovative flame-retardant coating, effective at thicknesses of as low as 350 microns, which dramatically improves the fire resistance of the battery casings used in electric vehicles and aerospace.
In the relentless battle against airborne viruses, researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) and the University of Valladolid (UVa), have developed a new spray coating to improve the antiviral efficacy of personal protective equipment, notably face masks.
The exploration of the red planet will have to face numerous challenges, from the effects of microgravity to space fungi, including radiation, one of the most dangerous.
Twinning, a phenomenon where crystals develop mirror symmetry across a twin plane during deformation, holds significant importance in the mechanical behaviour of materials.
In the quest for greener energy solutions, hydrogen-based technologies have emerged as strong contenders. However, one of the challenges lies in efficient hydrogen storage as traditional austenitic steels, commonly used for hydrogen vessels, suffer from embrittlement during storage.
In the face of raw materials and energy crises, and environmental challenges, an ambitious project aims to address a crucial sustainability challenge in one of the key industries in the transition to a green economy.
IMDEA Materials, with its expertise in biodegradable metals for medical applications, aims to advance vanguard medical technologies through the BIOMEND Doctoral Network, a pioneering initiative supported by the European Comission’s MSCA programme.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute have published groundbreaking work demonstrating, for the first time, the ability to recycle high-performance carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets while preserving their shape, structural alignment, mechanical and electrical properties, and intrinsic flexibility.
For the fourth consecutive year, the IMDEA Materials Institute has participated in the Madrid Es Ciencia Fair, the largest annual science outreach event in the Community of Madrid.
