As electric vehicle demand and production grow, uncertainty regarding battery material availability and price weigh heavily on Rivian and other car makers.
This tutorial video provides a clear, concise explanation of the structure and operating principles of MOSFETS, used in many power switching applications.
138 KC-46A aerial refuelers are on order globally.
This image shows how the novel electrochromic material can conduct both heating and cooling by switching between two different conformations. Image: University of Chicago PME/Hsu Group. Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have designed a chameleon-like building material that changes its infrared color – and how much heat it […]
These scanning electron microscope images show how UT Dallas researchers made a new kind of twistron by intertwining three individual strands of spun carbon-nanotube fibers to make a single yarn. A previous version of a harvester (right) was made by coiling the CNT fibers. The scale bars indicate 100µm. Image: UT Dallas. Nanotechnology researchers at […]
Companies will work together to design, build, and integrate the electrical wiring interconnection system (EWIS) for Lilium’s type-conforming aircraft.

At first glance, mica is quite ordinary: it is a common mineral, found in rocks like granite, and has been extensively studied from geological, chemical and technical perspectives. One might think nothing new could […]
Treating perianal fistulas with the injectable nanofiber-hydrogel composite loaded with stem cells. Image: Florin Selaru. In a study using a rat model of Crohn’s disease, a biodegradable hydrogel composite loaded with stem cells has shown significant success in treating perianal fistulas (PAF) – one of the many complications of Crohn’s disease. The novel hydrogel composite […]
The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on the continuing, decades-long problem of medical product supply chain disruptions. Drug and medical device shortages — life-threatening for some — also affect the entire U.S health care system, costing millions of dollars annually. New resources from the National Academies offer insights.
