NASA Glenn shows a shape memory alloy torque-tube actuator folding an aircraft wingtip in flight.

In this video, see the prototype steering wheel developed at the University of Michigan and the Toyota Research Institute that uses haptic feedback to allow drivers to communicate with their vehicle’s autonomous systems.

3D printing promised to reinvent how we make things, but it is mostly stuck producing prototypes with a high level of waste. Designer and TED Fellow Schendy Kernizan found a different way—by printing objects directly into a tub of gel. In this video, he explains how his technique eliminates the constraints of gravity, pushing the […]

The Wyss Institute specializes in biologically inspired engineering, using nature to help develop materials that can make a more sustainable world.

MPIF explains how heat and high gas pressure close internal porosity in metal parts, and why aerospace relies on it.

In this video from Saint-Gobain, see the Top Jet flame spray gun feed a 3.17 mm wire to deposit a 420 stainless steel coating through the primary steps of the thermal spray process.

In this video, see how IBM Researchers test and validate the wattage-to-inference power budget of their latest AIU chips to optimize low-power AI model design.

Advanced technologies are transforming industry, society, and people’s daily lives. Shelly Zhang, an NSF-supported researcher, discusses her work using additive manufacturing and topology optimization to create new structures, including a 3D thermal cloaking device.

In this video from Applied Materials learn why the industry now needs wafer-fab-class process control in advanced packaging.
