In the latest advance in nano- and micro-architected materials, engineers at Caltech, Pasadena, Calif., developed a new material made from numerous interconnected microscale knots that made the material far tougher than identically structured but unknotted materials.
North Star Imaging, Rogers, MN, recently opened an x-ray inspection services laboratory in Orlando, Florida. The facility houses a vault with a 9 Million Electron Volt high energy CT X-ray system capable of scanning very large dense parts used in aerospace and aviation.
Researchers at MIT, Cambridge, Mass., used deep learning to compare a vast amount of simulated data about the exterior force fields of materials with the matching internal structure, and from there, they developed a system that could reliably predict the interior from the surface data.
STMicroelectronics, Switzerland, launched three new accelerometers with advanced processing engines built-in to extend sensor autonomy, enabling systems to respond more quickly to external events while lowering power consumption.
See and hear how a recent graduate from Indiana University has converted the visible light given off by the elements into audio using a technique called data sonification, creating unique, complex sounds for each element in the periodic table.
