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 […]
