The poster entitled “The effect of mechanical strains on the catalytic activity of transition metals for the hydrogen evolution and the oxygen reduction reactions”, by our colleagues Carmen Martínez Alonso and Jose Manuel Guevara-Vela, awarded as the most popular in
We have been awarded two projects in the last cut-off of the EIC pathfinder open to work on the following breakthrough technologies! That’s a phenomenal 50% success rate! Congrats to our Principal Investigators, María Teresa Pérez and Jennifer Patterson! BIOMET4D
On the 3rd of November, the IMDEA Materials Institute held the first meeting of its Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) at its premises. This meeting served as a touch base for the initiative, allowing the IAB members to know some of
With the centre’s support, researchers from our group on Multifunctional Nanocomposites have launched a company to produce silicon electrodes for batteries for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. It all started more than three years ago when the group, led
Next 19 de noviembre, Prof. Javier Segurado will present some of the work done in his research group, under the title of “FFT based simulations for capturing microstructure effect on the mechanical response of metals”. The webinar, which will run
IMDEA Materials has know-how and experience in developing computational high-throughput screening workflows for discovery of hydrogen storage materials. Our focus has been mostly directed towards advanced porous materials such as metal organic frameworks and related materials (Fig. 1). Our customizable
The project CNSTech (Development of gamma prime strengthened CoNi based superalloy for advanced sustainable manufacturing technologies) starts 1st of October 2021 and it will last 24 months.The aim of this project is to development of the next generation Powder Metallurgy
Next 29th of September, Prof. Carlos D. González will present some of the work done in his research group, under the title of “On the use of machine learning for smart manufacturing of structural composites”. The webinar, which will run
We all have a responsibility to try to preserve our environment as best we can. However, if you are involved in research, your responsibility is even greater. At least that is what the researchers at the IMDEA Institutes believe. They
We have set up a cell culture and biomaterials lab to research innovative materials for health care, thanks to Madrid regional Goverment and the state research agency (AEI). This space will allow us to analyse the response of living tissue
Last June 14th, IMDEA Materials held through videoconference the kick-off meeting of its newly formed Industrial Advisory Board (IAB). The goal of this strategic initiative is to bring together a selected group of R&D industrial leaders, experts in technology transfer
Next 14th of July, Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang will present some of the work done in his research group, under the title of “Environmentally Friendly Flame Retardant Materials: from fundamentals to advanced applications”. The webinar, which will run through the
Our Director, José Manuel Torralba, has been awarded the European Materials Gold Medal 2021 by the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS). The European Materials Medal (Gold Medal), established in 1993, is the most prestigious award of the FEMSand is
IMDEA Materials has developed a method to produce highly conducting nanostructured fabrics for use as current collectors or scaffold for active materials in composite electrodes for energy storage and conversion. Integration of these fabrics reduces electrode weight, improves cyclability/durability and
Additive manufacturing, or 3D metal printing, allows to build ultralight and resistant structures with geometries that are impossible to achieve using conventional machining and processing techniques, including complex structures named “lattice”. These are three-dimensional constructions, topologically ordered, formed by the
Grupo Antolín, a worldwide supplier of technological solutions for car interiors, works with IMDEA Materials and IMDEA Energy Institutes in the development of flexible Lithium-ion batteries that can be integrated in interior components of vehicles. The objective is to develop
IMDEA Materials has developed a method to produce highly conducting nanostructured fibres for use as lightweight conductors (see Fig. 1). On a mass basis, these conductors have superior electrical/thermal conductivity and higher ampacity (maximum current density) than most metals. Their
IMDEA Materials has a proprietary method to produce continuous sheets of nanostructured Silicon [1] (see Fig. 1) and their integration as high capacity anodes in Lithium-ion batteries without use of processing solvents or polymers. The electrodes combine high capacity (>
