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.

I ragazzi del Marconi di Rovereto in visita al DICAM
Marconi Students from Rovereto visit DICAM
On Friday, April 17, 2026, we hosted students specializing in Energy from the ITT Marconi Institute of Rovereto. It was a unique day, designed with a simple goal: showing these students that university is not just about theory, but a place where real experimentation happens. Alongside professors and researchers, the group toured our facilities, getting a firsthand look at experiments in four key labs: Energy and Materials Lab, Sustainable Energy Lab, Fluid Machinery Lab, and Green Processes Engineering Lab. This partnership aims to help high school students with career orientation and provide a look behind the scenes of scientific research.
