Dr. Antoine Jerusalem admits it was a gamble joining a fledgling IMDEA Materials Institute back in 2008, but there’s no doubt in his mind that the bold bet more than paid off. Jerusalem, currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at
IMDEA Materials researcher Guillermo Domínguez is developing new zinc alloys to manufacture biodegradable cardiovascular stents with better performance than those currently on the market. The ultimate goal of this work is to obtain a zinc alloy to be used in
Undoubtedly, one of the great hopes in the transition to more sustainable mobility are hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen fuel cells generate electrical power through the oxygen reduction reaction process, which combines gaseous hydrogen and oxygen to produce energy with water
IMDEA Materials is delighted to announce the launch of our 2021 Annual report, available now for download. This annual report is designed to give you an overview of the Institute and main achievements in 2021. You will also find a
About 35% of the predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute are women. Predoctoral researcher Eugenia Nieto, has underlined the important role of women in engineering, highlighting the importance in research of being able to see things from a
Today, on Women in Engineering Day, our researcher Lola Martin Alonso talks to ABC.es about her difficult decision to leave a professional contract with Real Madrid to pursue a scientific career at Institute IMDEA Materials, the importance of promoting greater
In this project, IMDEA Materials will collaborate with several European partners to produce soft magnetic components by 3D-printed, metallic glasses. Metallic glasses present excellent mechanical and magnetic properties and, in combination with additive manufacturing, open the door to producing highly
