Inspired by the human eye, our biomedical engineering lab at Georgia Tech has designed an adaptive lens made of soft, light-responsive, tissuelike materials. Our study is published in the journal Science Robotics.This post was originally […]

Electrical equipment housed within auxiliary buildings of nuclear power plants—such as control panels, transformers, and emergency generators—are particularly vulnerable to vibrations. Notably, during the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, while concrete structures remained intact, power facilities had […]

Disaster has just struck, roads are inaccessible, and people need shelter now. Rather than wait days for a rescue team, a fleet of AI-guided drones takes flight carrying materials and the ability to build shelters, […]

Engineers at Duke University have constructed a group of AI bots that together can solve complex design problems nearly as well as a fully trained scientist. The results, the researchers say, show how AI might […]

A new collaborative study between IMDEA Materials Institute, China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, and the Southern University of Science and Technology, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field […]

A team of UC Riverside engineers has discovered why a key solid-state battery material stays remarkably cool during operation—a breakthrough that could help make the next generation of lithium batteries safer and more powerful.This post […]

Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed the first known metallic gel. Unlike everyday gels, like those used in hand sanitizers, hair products or soft contact lenses, this new material is made entirely of metals […]

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati are developing a drone with flapping wings that can locate and hover around a moving light like a moth to a flame.This post was originally published on this site

An international team led by researchers at the University of Waterloo has developed a new material that can be used as flexible artificial muscles to replace rigid motors and pumps in robots and allow them […]

3D printing is extremely practical when you want to produce small quantities of customized components. However, this technology has always had one major problem: 3D printers can only process a single material at a time. […]
