Ana Santana, project partner from CENIM-CSIC, gave a speech to students coursing Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) at the San Francisco School, in El Pardo (Madrid).
The talk, organised within the framework of the 9th edition of the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Festival organised by CSIC, was focused on the differences between nanoscience and nanotechnology, the scale of things and why nanoscience is necessary. NewAIMS was highlighted as one of the initiatives that the institution is working on.
Moreover, Ana Santana introduced to the students the application of nano in the metallurgy and the importance of studying this in a new manufacturing process such as additive manufacturing.
The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Festival aims to bring, in a fun way, the nanometric scale, its effects and how this knowledge will change our lives to all audiences through different applications and products.
Within NewAIMS, CENIM-CSIC analyses the relationship among the steel processing, its structure, and its mechanical properties. In this sense, CENIM investigates the transformation mechanisms, and characterizes the structure of the material from the micro to the nanoscale describing the physics and chemistry that govern the transformation processes of steel and its properties in real conditions of use.
