Artistic illustration of a meta-mechatronic unit cell and an array of unit cells creating an autonomous system that can think for itself. Photo of a unit cell and its electrical signal output as a logic gate. Researchers believe that they have taken the first step towards a new type of autonomous, self-powered, intelligent material based […]
Schematic of the extrusion-based 3D printing fabrication of biodegradable FeMn-akermanite bone scaffolds and regrowing bone tissue after 14 and 21 days. Biodegradable iron-based metals offer a promising alternative to titanium-based bone implants for repairing damaged tissue. Despite their possibilities, there are drawbacks including limited biological activity and ferromagnetism, which can interfere with MRI. Now researchers […]
Team progresses toward first hypersonic flight of TA-1 test vehicle in late summer of 2023.
The cages of the host network of bipyramid particles are shown in blue on the left side, becoming increasingly transparent toward the right. The red bipyramid particles are guest particles, trapped in the cages of the clathrate structure. Image: Sangmin Lee, Glotzer Group. Cage structures made with nanoparticles could offer a route toward fabricating organized […]
Researchers made shape-changing fibers by encapsulating a balloon-like elastomer tube in a braided textile sheath. Photo: Muh Amdadul Hoque. In two new studies, researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) designed and tested a series of textile fibers that can change shape and generate force like a muscle. In the first study, reported in […]
Honoring the many American men and women who died in military service.
Ohio Aerospace Institute, June 14, 2023, 11:45am to 1:00pm ET.
Industry 4.0 – It’s a transformational journey.
Engineers should consider new materials that can withstand harsher conditions and meet demanding applications.
