A new class of materials could prove significant in more efficient carbon capture technology, drug delivery and even as a gateway to the hydrogen economy.

We live in a world of steel. It’s so common that we use it as a metaphor for everyday life. Some people have nerves of steel, and the biceps of many muscular young individuals are made of ship steel.

For the second year running, 10 IMDEA Materials Institute researchers have been including in Stanford University’s annual lists of the world’s top scientists.

IMDEA Materials Institute has organised the largest edition to date of the Symposium on Alloys for Additive Manufacturing (AAMS), one of the most prestigious conferences in its field in Europe.

Enhanced material quality, the reduction of carbon emissions and waste generation, and reduced risks to the supply of critical raw materials. These are the three principal objectives of a new international research initiative involving 10 partners from four European countries in which IMDEA Materials Institute (Madrid, Spain) will play a key role.

Scientific Director of  IMDEA Materials Institute, Prof. LLorca, was recently awarded the 2023 National Research Award Leonardo Torres Quevedo in Engineering and Architecture by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain.

Replacing fossil fuels brings with it challenges and side effects that must be considered by all parties involved in Europe’s energy transition, vital to our future. To begin with, however, we must ask one seemingly obvious, but often forgotten question: do we have the materials to make the change?

IMDEA Materials Institute postdoctoral researcher, Dr. María de Nicolás Morillas, will be one of seven IMDEA investigadors participating in this year’s European Researchers’ Night Madrid.

With the arrival of September, IMDEA Materials is bidding farewell to many of the young researchers and support staff who have joined the Institute in the last 12 months as part of the ‘I Investigate Programme’.

More than four million bone graft and bone replacement procedures are performed each year globally. This number is expected to increase dramatically over coming decades as life expectancies rise.

IMDEA Materials Institute will have on-site access to one of the world’s most advanced mechanical testing devices after Principal Investigator Dr. Ilchat Sabirov was announced as the winner of Plastometrex’s 2023 Research Competition.

IMDEA Materials Institute’s Scientific Director, Prof. Javier LLorca, has been appointed an Honorary Professor at China’s Yanshan University.

IMDEA Materials Institute is participating in a research project to develop a new method of bioengineering myocardial tissue for heart attack patients.

MDEA Materials is delighted to announce the launch of our 2021 Annual report. It is designed to give you an overview of the Institute and main achievements in 2022. You will also find a description of the current Research Programmes, highlighting R&D projects and significant scientific results.

Imagine being on your way to a well-deserved summer vacation when suddenly you collide with another vehicle. Fortunately, the chassis of your car deforms in a controlled and programmed manner upon impact, creating a safe zone for the occupants to emerge unscathed. Magic?

Composites sustainability and effective industrial digitilisation were the central topics of discussion as IMDEA Materials Institute hosted the 6th meeting of its Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) in Madrid.

This week, Dr. Anastasiia Mikhalchan will present research from IMDEA Materials’ Multifunctional Nanocomposites research group group on the gas-phase synthesis and properties of 1D materials, which could be used under higher luminosity conditions for beam instrumentation and quality control, at the Low Density Materials for Beam Instrumentation Workshop at CERN.
