IMDEA Materials Institute has been well represented once again on Stanford University’s list of the world’s top 2% Scientist Rankings. Notably, IMDEA Materials’ Scientific Director, Prof. Javier LLorca, becomes one of the top 200 ranked scientists worldwide in the Materials Science field.

In advanced engineering, a well-selected common material can perform exceptionally well. Complexity does not always equate to superiority.

THE IMDEA Materials-coordinated DELIGHTED project has been praised for delivering “exceptional results” in its successful efforts to develop Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) for lightweight vehicle applications.

IMDEA Materials has solidified its position as a leading center in composite material development by hosting the upcoming Business-Academia Collaboration Meeting

IMDEA Materials Institute is set to host the first-ever Workshop on Additive Biofabrication (WAB2024), a pioneering event in Spain that will bring together international experts in the field in Madrid.

IMDEA Materials researchers have led a groundbreaking study into the development of novel carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn-based strain sensors for the structural health monitoring (SMH) of airframe components.

Senior IMDEA Materials Researcher, Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang, believes his election as a European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) Fellow reflects the growing importance of flame-retardant and fire-safe materials in the engineering community.

Miguel Grande Ráez, one of the IMDEA Materials researchers involved in the European BIOMET4D project, has turned to the public for support as he aims to further his expertise in advanced materials science at Imperial College London.

IMDEA Materials Institute has been recognised for its research excellence in the latest edition of the Severo Ochoa and María de Maeztu accreditations.

IMDEA Materials is delighted to announce the launch of our 2023 Annual report, designed to give you an overview of the Institute and main achievements in 2023.

Living machines for smart surgical devices, improved drug delivery systems, and fire-safe energy storage materials are among the potential scientific breakthroughs that could become reality in the not-so-distant future.

IMDEA Materials Institute has taken a significant step in its commitment to innovation and the scientific development of young researchers by launching its new Junior Principal Investigator (Junior PI) program.

Yesterday, IMDEA Materials Institute had the honor of receiving a visit from Emilio Viciana, Regional Minister of Education, Science, and Universities of the Community of Madrid. During his tour of the facilities, Viciana praised the institute’s work and emphasised the importance of its contributions to society.

At the forefront of medical innovation, implants have undergone a revolution in recent times thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Nowadays, these devices are designed and optimised using advanced algorithms.

A diamond awakens a world of suggestions that can lead us, depending on our age, to a cabaret in Paris where Marilyn Monroe declares to the world that they are “a girl’s best friend” (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Howard Hawks, 1953); to New York’s Fifth Avenue.

IMDEA Materials Institute has announced a significant change in its leadership, with Prof. Dr. Eugenio Oñate assuming the role of Chairman of the Board of Trustees, succeeding Prof. Dr. Manuel Doblaré.

They can replace CO²-intensive materials like copper, steel, and aluminum in the construction, aerospace, automotive, and other industries, and are also the global bet for an ongoing energy transition.
