El próximo 25 de mayo organizamos una conferencia conjunta con el Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Corea para explorar oportunidades de colaboración en el campo de los materiales compuestos.
La Universidad de Standford acaba de publicar su «Ranking of the World Scientists: World´s Top 2% Scientists«. El ranking, que analiza datos de Scopus como el número de artículos publicados, el impacto de las citas a lo largo de la
La ciencia que se realiza en la Comunidad de Madrid se encuentra en la élite mundial, gracias en parte a los investigadores de los Institutos IMDEA. Más información en este artículo del diario ABC.
Comenzamos a colaborar con la start-up madrileña SmartHAPS para investigar materiales de aplicación en pseudo-satélites de alta altitud (HAPS por sus siglas inglesas). Estos vehículos aéreos constituyen una excelente alternativa a la operación de los satélites y los drones aéreos.
Sandwich-structured composites are the most reliable and effective technology for weight reduction of interior panels in the transportation industry. However, the properties and manufacturing processes of sandwich composites are limited by the characteristics and mechanical properties of the lightweight core
IMDEA Materials has developed a technology to produce Reprocessable Epoxy Resin (REP) composites with excellent fire retardancy and re-processability. Compared with pure epoxy resin with a Limited Oxygen Index (LOI) of 21.7 % and no rating in vertical burning test
Although secondary Li-ion batteries are widely used for electrochemical energy storage, low energy (100-300 Wh kg-1) and power density (250-400 W kg-1) are limiting their applications in several areas including long-range electric vehicles. This is mainly due to the use
Diffusion independent pseudocapacitive ion storage is one of the recently investigated mechanisms for achieving ultrafast Li and Na-ion storage. It usually involves surface/ near surface charge-transfer reactions. Nevertheless, intrinsic pseudocapacitance of transition metal oxide anodes is not sufficient to deliver
IMDEA Materials has recognized expertise on the design of alloys for high temperature, high strength and lightweight applications, which are suitable for the production of 3D printed components by laser-based or binder-jetting methods. Previous works include the design of superalloys
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
Carbon Hub, la iniciativa de investigación cero-emisiones de la Universidad de Rice, ha otorgado seis subvenciones semilla para seis proyectos que permitirán avanzar rápidamente su visión para transformar el sector del petróleo y el gas en un sector líder, proveedor
IMDEA Materials has know-how in developing data-driven experimentation workflows that exploit machine learning algorithms to minimize the number of experiments involved in the development of materials tuned to specific applications and/or the chemical processes governing their synthesis and scale-up. These
Nuestra compañera María Teresa Pérez Prado y otras investigadoras explican lo que hacen para mejorar nuestras vidas en esta entrevista grabada por la cadena SER en IMDEA Energía con el motivo del Día Internacional de la Mujer 2021.
IMDEA Materials offers a mature, fully stand-alone technology able to predict the mechanical response of an engineering alloy as function of its microstructure [1]. This technology is able to provide the anisotropic elastic properties and stress-strain elastoplastic curves, the creep
Titanium aluminum nitrides (TiAlN) are currently the most versatile coatings in terms of performance with various applications in industry: as wear-resistant coatings for cutting tools; for increasing productivity in die casting, reducing soldering and retarding fire cracks; for plastic processing,
Current trends to reduce weight, energy consumption and improve functionality are leading to new materials with complex microstructures, whose behavior can only be understood from the synergetic contribution of processes occurring at multiple length scales (from nm to m). Examples
