In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot ...
Engineering
In the tug-of-war between order and chaos within multielemental carbides, entropy eventually claims victory over enthalpy by pushing the system toward complete disorder as the diversity of elements in the material increases, ...
Engineering
To shed new light on the contribution of different brain regions and neural circuits to specific mental functions, neuroscientists and medical researchers rely on advanced imaging techniques and neural probes. These are electronic ...
Engineering
Steel truss bridges are a common sight on roads and railways around the world, with many dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite their high strength-to-weight ratio, which allows them to support heavy ...
Engineering
Photovoltaics (PVs), technological systems that can convert sunlight into electricity are among the most promising and widely adopted clean energy solutions worldwide. While existing silicon-based solar cells have already ...
Engineering
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that move lithium ions between the anode (i.e., negative electrode) and cathode (i.e., positive electrode), are used to power most portable electronics on the market today. ...
Robotics
Nature, the master engineer, is coming to our rescue again. Inspired by scorpions, scientists have created new pressure sensors that are both highly sensitive and able to work across a wide variety of pressures.
Engineering
When temperatures get too hot to handle, most of us crank up the air conditioning to keep cool. It does the job, but it's expensive and uses a significant amount of energy. But now an innovation by scientists, primarily from ...
Engineering
Over the past decades, energy engineers have been developing a wide range of new technologies that could power electronic devices, robots and electric vehicles more efficiently and reliably. These include solid oxide cells ...
