FLOATECH, the Madrid-based spin-off of IMDEA Materials Institute, plans to open its first pilot plant for the manufacture of 100% silicon anodes for the next generation of lithium batteries in Spain later this year.
Prof. Javier LLorca, IMDEA Materials’ Scientific Director, became the first Spanish scientist to receive the Structural Materials Division Distinguished Scientist/Engineer Award from the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS).
IMDEA Materials Institute has today celebrated the presentation of awards to finalise the 12th Annual Imaging Contest. This year’s competition was dominated by the Materials Characterisation category.
At IMDEA Materials Institute, one of the seven IMDEA Centers of Excellence promoted by the Community of Madrid, new materials are being researched and developed to regenerate damaged tissues and restore their function.
Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute now have access to a powerful new tool to characterise, design and create novel materials with a wide range of applications, including next-generation biomedical devices.
Curious about the materials that make up the world around us? Are you interested in learning about the materials required to create next-generation batteries, medical implants or aircraft components, among others?
IMDEA Materials Institute in Madrid in Spain has played host to the second progress meeting of the European ConstructAdd project which aims to facilitate the widespread adoption of steel additive manufacturing.
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.
