Energy and new materials
The Energy and Materials sector focuses on developing advanced materials and innovative solutions for high-tech applications. Activities center on the design, characterization and optimization of materials and systems, with the aim of improving their performance, reliability and integration in complex environments.
This area is especially relevant to the space sector, where materials and energy systems play a critical role in mission success. The extreme conditions of space demand solutions that are highly resistant, efficient and reliable over time. In this context, the development of new materials helps ensure greater component durability, optimized use of energy resources, and support for the evolution of ever more advanced space technologies.
The team’s expertise, developed over the years, has enabled the completion of research activities and concrete applications — for example ultra-light, flexible solar cells, sputtering for thin-film deposition, and simulators for extreme conditions — with applications in systems and solutions designed for the space sector.
