👩🔬 IMDEA Materials Institute would like to congratulate our former predoctoral researcher, Meihui Zhou, who successfully defended her #PhD at the @urjc.bsky.social last week.
Her thesis was supervised by Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang and Prof. Dr. Silvia González Prolongo.
👩🎓 We were pleased to welcome a visit yesterday of 80 students from IES La Senda in Getafe.
Such visits form an important part of our commitment to inspiring future generations of materials scientists and engineers.
🌎 Los plásticos conquistaron el siglo XX con su versatilidad, pero hoy pagamos la factura.
Menos del 10% se recicla, toneladas acaban en mares y ríos, y los microplásticos llegan hasta nuestros órganos.

👩🔬 👨🔬 On Tuesday, IMDEA Materials held our annual Four Minute Thesis Talk (#4MT), with 13 of our predoctoral researchers taking part.
The 4MT event challenges young researchers to present their thesis clearly and engagingly to a non-specialist audience in just four minutes.
🧲 They’re at the heart of modern technology. But, what exactly are soft magnetic materials?
In this week’s #AM2SoftMag: Science Explained, researcher Saumya Sadanand explains what makes Soft Magnetic Materials so special, and how they can boost motor efficiency.
