Soraya Diego and Sergio Cicero win two UC Solutions Awards for their decarbonization and Industry 4.0 proposals
Both LADICIM researchers have been recognized in the II Call for the Promotion of Industrial Competitiveness of the University of Cantabria. Their work proposes circular solutions for the railway sector and validation methods for clean energy materials. The transfer of scientific knowledge to the productive sector is key to addressing

LADICIM wins the first Knowledge Transfer Award of the University of Cantabria
The Social Council award recognizes more than three decades of solving complex industrial challenges and the Laboratory’s diversification into data analysis and biomaterials to consolidate a scientific model of direct return to society. Moving down to the physical scale is essential when designing a railway network or planning a port

LADICIM participates in the European Extend-LTO project for the long-term operation of nuclear power plants
The University of Cantabria Laboratory will lead the application of artificial intelligence and big data management to predict the degradation of steels subjected to extreme irradiation Ensuring an uninterrupted and CO2 emission-free power supply is Europe’s top priority. Complying with the current EU green taxonomy mandates keeping existing nuclear power

LADICIM participates in Ecoflowing, the project driving the decarbonization of construction
In collaboration with the Technology Centre of Components (CTC), the initiative designs industrializable mixes based on waste valorization that will reduce the sector’s carbon footprint by more than 20% Conceiving civil engineering works without concrete is impossible today. It is an unbeatable material in terms of cost, strength, and versatility.

LADICIM collaborates with Valdecilla and IDIVAL to prevent structural failure of the heart and skeleton
Researchers from the University of Cantabria forge an alliance with clinical specialists to translate strict material fatigue methodologies to living tissue, transforming the treatment of valvular and bone pathologies The laws of mechanics do not distinguish between the imposing structure of a viaduct and the intricate human anatomy. A femur

LADICIM presents an algorithm in Atlanta that predicts the useful life of nuclear power plants with 22% greater accuracy
The University of Cantabria laboratory presents a methodology, developed with partners from the U.S. and Japan, to the ASTM world committee to mitigate the lack of physical data in long-term operation reactors The Laboratory of the Division of Materials Science and Engineering (LADICIM) of the University of Cantabria recently participated in the

LADICIM collaborates in the Freedom project to improve the safety of nuclear power plants
The research, coordinated by CIEMAT, delves into the use of mini-CT specimens and Artificial Intelligence to characterize the integrity of the reactor pressure vessel in the face of the materials aging challenge Extending the useful life of nuclear power plants is not only a matter of energy strategy; it is,

LADICIM aims to fortify floating wind with more durable, safer and more sustainable platforms
In a consortium with SEAPLACE, IHCantabria, and UPM, the Cantabrian laboratory will lead the development of green and self-healing concretes to optimize the CROWN floating platform Europe’s race for energy decarbonization has ceased to be a promise and has become an industrial and technological necessity. With the goal of installing
