Congratulations to Clarissa Giudici on the defense of her thesis on “A Modular and Hierarchical Kinetic Modeling Framework for CNT Synthesis in Floating Catalyst CVD Reactors”, done at Politecnico di Milano and IMDEA Materials .

Dr. Tilve delivered a presentation at the Institute of Applied Magnetism (IMA) during #IMAnate titled “From anisotropic nanomaterials to macroscopic architectures: 3D printing and self-assembly of functional networks.” For further details, please refer to materials.imdea.org/groups/mng/fro…

Welcome Rodrigo Muelas, joining us this summer for a nanotube intercalation project. He graduated in Physics & Math from RPI and worked with Profs. Wertz & Terrones studying human cell assimilation of TMDs & hBN for medical applications.

Our group has published “Fractal Scaling in the Gas‐Phase Agglomeration of Nanowires” in the journal small (doi.org/10.1002/smll.2…). In this work, we explore how Silicon nanowires can self-assemble in the gas phase to form aerogel structures with unique fractal properties.

Thrilled to share that Dr. Isabel Gómez Palos will present her work “Síntesis en fase gas de nanoredes de nanohilos de SnO con catalizadores aerosolizados” at SECAT 2025, University of Alcalá de Henares on June 18, 2025. Join us for cutting-edge catalysis research! #SECAT2025

Our group members, Elena Sánchez and Felipe Lozano, took part in the III Seminar for Young Materials Researchers (YOUMAT25) on April 28–29 at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). For more information, please visit: materials.imdea.org/groups/mng/ele…

Dr. Isabel Gómez Palos successfully presented her work “Síntesis en fase gas de nanoredes de nanohilos de SnO con catalizadores aerosolizados” at #SECAT2025, held at the University of Alcalá de Henares on June 18. A great event showcasing the latest in catalysis research!

👩‍🔬 Last Friday, we were thrilled to welcome a guest seminar from Dr. Maria Crespo from Queen Mary University of London on Na-ion batteries: from materials sustainability to operando characterisation techniques. 🙏 We thank her for taking the time to share her insights and expertise! MNG Research Group

Dr. Juan José Vilatela gave an invited talk at the 11th European Silicon Days. He presented to leading companies and scientists our approach for producing silicon nanowire paper and its application in high-performance batteries.

🏆 Dr. David Tilve Martínez wins the 2025 Young Researcher Award at #Carbon2025 in Saint-Malo 🇫🇷, recognizing his impactful work on carbon materials. He also gave a keynote on Additive Manufacturing of Nanocarbon Conductive Composites. Congrats, David! 👏

We’d like to congratulate Rafael Tomey for successfully passing his First Year Assessment titled "Investigating and Addressing Degradation Mechanisms in 100% Silicon Nanowire Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries." Wishing him continued success throughout his PhD journey!

Dr. Soheila Ebrahimi & Elena Sanchez presented at Power Our Future 2025 in Vitoria-Gasteiz 🇪🇸! Their talks covered cutting-edge cathodes and Si nanowire anodes for next-gen Li-ion batteries. #BatteryResearch #POF2025

Our new article "Ordered silicon nanowire bundle networks from aqueous dispersions" is now out in Nanotechnology (IOP Publishing)! Discover how we created macroscopic, highly aligned Si nanowire networks in paper-like structures. [iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…]

🌟 Excited to share that two of our group members took part in Nanowire Week 2025 at Cambridge! 🔬 Dr. Isabel Gómez Palos presented on SnO nanowires via FCCVD 📊 Raúl de Armas explored SiC nanowire polytypism For more info 👉 linkedin.com/posts/multifun…

Our colleague Nabil Abomailek Rubio represented our group at the European Aerosol Conference (EAC 2025), held in Lecce, Italy, from 31 August to 5 September 2025. He presented the poster: “A DLCA methodology for simulating Brownian agglomeration of nanowire aerosols”.
