MIT engineers have developed a continuous manufacturing process that produces long strips of high-quality graphene. The team’s results are the first demonstration of an industrial,…
The pull-up, an exercise dreaded by most, answers a basic question: are your muscles strong enough to lift your own body weight? Some Illinois researchers…
Animals have evolved all manner of adaptations to get the nutrients they need. For nectar-feeding bats, long snouts and tongues let them dip in and…
MIT engineers have just introduced an element of fun into microfluidics. The field of microfluidics involves minute devices that precisely manipulate fluids at submillimeter scales….
By shrinking samples of metallic glass to nanoscale size, Yale scientists have discovered they can create new materials with potentially new applications. The research, published…
A new study from Columbia Engineering researchers reports on the strength of large-area graphene films grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), correcting the mistaken consensus…
Jumping is much more complicated that it might seem, at least for robots. A new study indicates that the range of future rescue and exploration…
Finding that large membranes engineered from single sheets of grapheme allow small molecules to pass through, researchers are now looking to use the graphene membranes…
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and MIT have genetically engineered muscle cells to flex in response to light, which may one day enable highly…
A product of collaboration between Stanford’s Dynamic Design Lab and the Volkswagen Electronics Research Lab, Shelly the self-driving Audi TTS hit track speeds of 120…
Modeled after an earthworm, Meshworm is a soft autonomous robot that moves via peristalsis, crawling across surfaces by contracting segments of its body. Earthworms creep…
Using an algorithm to analyze data and identify safe zones, a team of scientists developed a new semiautonomous safety system that uses an onboard camera…
Engineers at Johns Hopkins are studying butterflies using high-speed video cameras to gain a better understand of their flight dynamics. With funding from U.S. defense…
Mosquitoes are able to fly adeptly during a rainstorm as well as under clear skies, but how do they manage that feat? Since mosquitoes weigh…
