👨‍🔬 IMDEA Materials would like to congratulate our most recent doctoral graduate, Jorge Redondo, after his successful PhD defence at @upm.es on Friday. His thesis was entitled: "The effect of elastic strains on the activity of catalysts for the hydrogen economy".

👩‍🔬 Yesterday, we hosted a seminar by Dr. Jazmin Duarte from Max Planck's Institute for Sustainable Materials: “Microstructure-driven Hydrogen Response: In Situ Insights from Micromechanical Testing.” The topic? How hydrogen-microstructure interactions can be revealed in real time.

💡 A decade after its publication, "Vibrant times for mechanical #metamaterials" continues to make an impact. The article, featuring IMDEA Materials' Prof. Johan Christensen, has been recognised as one of MRS Communication's most-read papers. 🔗 link.springer.com/collections/...

🥹 We are proud to see the work of Prof. María Teresa Pérez Prado and our Sustainable Metallurgy Group highlighted in the latest edition of #Horizon, the EU Research & Innovation Magazine. Read more: projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/en/horizon-m...
