Ever Wonder Why Circuit Boards Are Green?
The reasons have nothing to do with the environment or with St. Patrick’s Day.
Expanding the parameters for soft polymer materials
This image shows how the interplay of multiple mechanisms can be used to form 12 discrete polymer morphologies by modifying the liquid process parameters. Image: Orlin Velev, NC State University. Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or ‘morphologies’, […]
Robot snail advances with novel soft material

Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a soft material with metal-like conductivity and self-healing properties that is the first to maintain enough electrical adhesion to support digital electronics and motors. This advance, reported in a […]
The Future of the Factory Is Here for the Taking
Legacy systems are a cloud over manufacturing that block the benefits of digital transformation tools that are already here.

Get knotted
Artistic representation of the novel material constructed with microscale knots. Image: Caltech. In the latest advance in nano- and micro-architected materials, engineers at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a new polymer material made from numerous interconnected microscale knots. These knots produce a material that is far tougher than identically structured but unknotted materials: […]
New study finds upwardly mobile 2D semiconductors
Some of the predicted 2D semiconductors with very high carrier mobility at room temperature. Image: The University of Texas at Austin. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have the chance to galvanize significant advances in the capabilities of electronic devices, by replacing silicon-based chips. However, many problems continue to hold back these materials. One major problem is carrier […]

Researchers Need to Rethink and Justify How and Why Race, Ethnicity, and Ancestry Labels Are Used in Genetics and Genomics Research, Says New Report
Race, ethnicity, and ancestry labels are often used in genomics and genetics research to describe human genetic differences, which is misleading and inaccurate. Researchers and scientists who utilize genetic and genomic data should rethink and justify how and why they use these descriptors in their work.
