NCMS launches nanomanufacturing survey
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) has partnered with the National Science Foundation under the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) to launch its latest study of commercialization trends in nanotechnology and nanofabrication.
At last, a shape-morphing aircraft wing is here
The long-sought elusive goal of practical, seamless control surface technologies to reduce drag and improve aircraft fuel efficiency—chased by the defense and commercial aviation industries and researchers for several decades—was finally realized with the introduction of a variable geometry airfoil, called FlexFoil, by FlexSys, Inc., Ann Arbor, Mich. The variable geometry surface completely replaces jointed […]
