A research team from the School of Engineering (SENG) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has introduced comprehensive bio-inspired multiscale design strategies to address key challenges in the commercialization of perovskite […]

Many industrial products—from car bumpers to aerospace panels and medical implants—owe their performance to lightweight, cellular materials. These hard-working synthetics are engineered to meet specific functionality goals, but too often, defects introduced during the fabrication […]

Since the advent of filter cigarettes, cigarette butts have become a predominant form of waste, with projections indicating that about 9 trillion will be generated annually by 2025. In addition, since the emergence of low-nicotine […]

Most of us are already quite comfortable recycling our household waste. In Spain, for instance, millions of tons of packaging are processed every year, but did you know that buildings and their materials can also […]

Whether strawberries, asparagus or apples: when it comes to harvesting, skilled workers are often in short supply. Many researchers are therefore working on harvesting robots that could provide welcome support to agricultural businesses in the […]

In 79 A.D., Roman author Pliny the Elder marveled at how dust could turn to stone. “Who, indeed,” he wrote in Naturalis Historia, “cannot but be surprised at finding the most inferior constituent parts of […]

In wireless communication, spectrum—radio frequencies that allow devices to communicate over the air—is king.This post was originally published on this site

Engineering innovations generally require long hours in the lab, with a lot of trial and error through experimentation before zeroing in on the best solution.This post was originally published on this site

To manage increasingly complex manufacturing systems, involving material flows across numerous transporters, machines, and storage locations, the semiconductors and display fabrication industries have implemented automated material handling systems (AMHSs). AMHSs typically involve complex manufacturing steps […]
