A new treatment for one of the world’s most prevalent tropical diseases, the discovery of cheaper alternative catalysts for hydrogen production, and the development of dynamic, load-bearing implants for tissue repair.
27-year-old IMDEA Materials Institute research assistant, Blanca Limones, represents the ongoing generational change underway in the world of science and research as we celebrate International Women and Girls in Science Day.
Mónica Echeverry Rendon is a bioengineer and Postdoctoral Researcher at IMDEA Materials Institute. In this article, she follows up on last year’s post celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute are currently working as part of a European project to design and 3D-print metamaterials, lighter than existing materials with improved shock absorption properties.
In her day-to-day research, IMDEA Materials researcher Elena Sánchez works on the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries, fundamental for the decarbonization of the transport and energy sectors.
IMDEA Materials will be a founding member of three of the Community of Madrid´s recently launched Innovation, Technology and Talent Clusters, each dedicated to a different scientific area.
IMDEA Materials Institute will play a key role in the recently launched DITTCe project, aimed at designing and manufacturing new implantable devices for brain tumor treatment in cases of Glioblastoma.
Prof. Javier Segurado, leader of IMDEA Materials’ Multiscale Materials Simulation research group, recently received the “Consolidation of Research Activity” award from the Technical University of Madrid.
Nuclear fusion as a source of energy for stars was described in the 1920s. Since then, scientists have dreamed of reproducing this process in a controlled way, but are yet to find a way to contain a star on Earth.
IMDEA Materials Institute’s commitment to providing a stimulating and favourable environment for researchers has been recognized with the renewal of the Institute’s ‘HR Excellence in Research Award’.
Dr. Johan Christensen believes the innovative potential of metamaterials can be applied in a range of applications, from improved optics, to mitigating noise pollution, to creating non-reflective surfaces for stealth vehicles.
IMDEA Materials Director, Professor José Manuel Torralba was on hand in London recently to receive the annual Ivor Jenkins award from the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3), the latest honour of his decorated scientific career.
IMDEA Materials Institute and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) recently celebrated the first Open Innovation and Industrial Workshop, marking the 18-month point of the iMPLANTS-CM project.
IMDEA Materials Institute celebrated Science Week 2022 with a visit from students from Colegio Retamar in Madrid with the European BIOMET4D and BioImplant-ITN projects part of the activity’s focus.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute and the UPM have highlighted the “significant advances” made in 4D printing, shape-morphing materials and medical devices thanks to the Community of Madrid’s iMPLANTS-CM project.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, in collaboration with the Technical University of Madrid and Rey Juan Carlos University have developed a new smart mask capable of monitoring a wearer’s breathing.
10 IMDEA Materials Institute researchers have been included in Stanford University’s annual lists of the world’s top 2% of scientists, which highlight both lifetime achievement, and more recent research from the past 12 months.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials are working on a fire safety system that can detect fire danger before a fire breaks out. Traditional fire alarms operate by detecting smoke, open flame, and/or higher-than-normal levels of carbon monoxide.
