For the first time, scientists have discovered how to produce ultra-thin “diamond nanothreads” that promise extraordinary properties, including strength and stiffness greater than that of today’s strongest nanotubes and polymers.
Insulation for homes of the future may be harvested from fields of kenaf, an alternative to fiberglass
Researchers at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind., are developing a robotic fabric that moves and contracts and is embedded with sensors, an approach that could bring “active clothing” and a new class of “soft” robots.
High-hardness ferrous metal matrix products now achievable through a one-step 3D-printing process
NASA’s Rocket Welding Tool The Vertical Assembly Center is part of a family of state-of-the-art tools designed to weld the core stage of Space Launch System, the largest rocket ever built. The tool will join domes, rings, and barrels to complete the tanks and dry structure assemblies. Engineers recently completed welding all the rings for […]
