Energy and Materials Laboratory

University of Trento | DICAM

Materials Science and Energy Application

The Energy and Materials Laboratory is the current evolution of teaching and research initiatives active at UniTN since the mid-1980s, which focused on X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD) and the study of the microstructure of materials.

Starting from these experiences and skills, the research group today focuses its efforts on the different aspects of materials science and technology that support the emerging Energy Engineering, the main theme of our research and participation in the inter-university Master of the same name.

The activity is carried out between basic and applied research, with support for industrial developments, with numerous collaborations and services in favour of companies, especially as regards the use of diffraction techniques.
