Resumen:  High-performance steels require alloying elements such as Ni, Mo, Ti, and Co to achieve their characteristic strength-ductility balance. However, these elements are considered critical due to their cost, scarcity, and environmental impact. An alternative approach is the use of

El Instituto IMDEA Materials dará la bienvenida a los futuros candidatos a doctorado en nuestro Día Anual de Puertas Abiertas para Doctorados, que se llevará a cabo en línea el miércoles 15 de abril. Este evento ofrece a los estudiantes

Resumen:  Crystal plasticity (CP) are well-established models, used, e.g., in scale-bridging applications to obtainmicrostructure-sensitive mechanical response of polycrystalline materials. These models require a properconsideration of the single crystal deformation mechanisms, a representative description of the microstructure, andan appropriate scheme to

Resumen:  The numerical simulation of the mechanical behavior of complex materials and systems remains a significant engineering challenge. Despite advances in computer architecture, multiscale modeling and machine learning, most complex simulations of materials use a constitutive model at its core.

On Friday 6th of March, 10:30, Marcos Rodriguez will defend his doctoral thesis entitled “Laser powder bed fusion of soft magnetic metallic glasses. A fundamental study on the interplay between processing conditions, defects, microstructure and properties.” The PhD defence will

Abstract: Early-stage scientific breakthroughs rarely fail because of weak science; they do so because the path from lab to venture is not structured early enough. In this session, Maria Sansigre will address both sides of the equation: what investors look

La defensa de la tesis doctoral se llevará a cabo en la Sala de Vídeo 3.S1.08, Edificio Biblioteca Rey Pastor. La disertación «Additive Manufacturing of Functionally Graded Materials: Insights from Advanced Characterization and Computational Thermodynamics» ha sido asesorada por el

Resumen: Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing of precise metal components for aerospace and biomedical applications using key powder materials with exceptional properties, such as Ti-, Ni-, and Co-based alloys, is a promising approach, given the possibility of reducing

Resumen: Our understanding of natural processes in the life sciences is very strongly dependent on our ability to observe in sufficient detail how an organism’s biochemical processes evolve, and how they connect to that organism’s overall behaviour. This is partially

Abstract: Metal halide perovskites have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their outstanding physico-chemical properties and excellent performance in diverse photocatalytic reactions. However, most studies focus on lead-based perovskites, whose toxicity has driven the search for safer alternatives.

Resumen:  Joint replacement is rightfully considered one of the most techno-clinical success stories of the latter part of the 20th Century with numerous patients particularly those of advancing years having improved quality of life. Despite the latest range of materials

Resumen: With the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) in underground parking garages, new fire risks emerge that are not adequately addressed by current safety standards. Our research tackles this urgent issue by developing a targeted fire suppression solution. Through

Resumen The performance of metallic materials under cryogenic conditions is critical for advancing technologies in aerospace, hydrogen economy, and superconductivity. However, designing alloys for these extreme environments is challenging due to the complex interplay of deformation mechanisms that are activated

How to get there: Google Maps – Campus de Alcorcón (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos)https://www.google.com/maps/search/Campus+de+Alcorcón+Universidad+Rey+Juan+Carlos The dissertation is titled “Construction of Efficient Intumescent Flame-Retardant Systems Based on

On January 16th, 2026, Guillermo Dominguez will defend his doctoral thesis entitled “Effects “of chemical composition, surface treatments, and processing technique on the corrosion and cytocompatibility of Zn and Mg alloys. It was advised by Prof. Javier Llorca and Dr.

Resumen: Understanding how cells sense and respond to mechanical cues is a central challenge in mechanobiology, yet current experimental platforms offer limited control over dynamic and spatially heterogeneous mechanical environments. In this talk, I will introduce our work at the

Abstract: The moiré effect is an interference phenomenon that occurs when two regular geometric arrangements are superimposed, resulting in large-scale fringe patterns that become particularly prominent at acute angles. These arrangements produce waves with noticeable moiré wavelengths, a characteristic extensively
