Swiss pilot Raphael Domjan on Friday made his first attempt of the year at setting a new aviation record: reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters in a solar-powered airplane.This post was originally published on this […]
“A building is only as strong as its foundation” is a common adage to signify the importance of having a stable and solid base to build upon. The type and design of foundation are important […]
Engineers rely on computational tools to develop new energy storage technologies, which are critical for capitalizing on sustainable energy sources and powering electric vehicles and other devices. Researchers have now developed a new classical physics […]
From a seed-inspired design to a 26-minute flight time on a single rotor, a new monocopter developed by SUTD researchers marks a 10-year journey towards redefining how efficient small flying robots can be.This post was […]
As global energy demand increases, researchers, industries, governments, and stakeholders are working together to develop new ways of meeting that demand. This is especially important as we address the ongoing climate crisis and transition away […]
Concrete is the most widely used human-made material on Earth and generally considered to be one of the most affordable, versatile and strongest construction materials, according to Aleksandra Radlinska, professor of civil and environmental engineering […]
Mechanical engineering researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have designed a mattress that helps prevent bedsores by alternating pressure across the body and, at times, increasing peak pressure rather than reducing it to […]
What if windows could clean themselves at the flick of a switch? We’re not quite there yet, but we are getting closer. Researchers in China have developed a transparent, easy-to-produce self-cleaning glass that can remove […]
A straight wall is not necessarily a climate-optimized wall. Depending on the wall’s exposure to sun and shade, there is an ideal angle for individual bricks. The calculations come from a digital design configurator—and in […]
