A team of mechanical engineers from Chung-Ang University, Massachusetts General Hospital, LS Materials and Yonsei University has found that a hand-held cylinder containing crumpled aluminum foil balls is capable of producing ...

Dartmouth researchers are crafting soft robotic blocks that can work in unison to create structures able to bear weight, roll, walk, grip objects and transport loads.

Artificial neural networks, ubiquitous machine-learning models that can be trained to complete many tasks, are so called because their architecture is inspired by the way biological neurons process information in the human ...

New research suggests a new solar energy design, inspired by nature, may pave the way for future renewable energy technologies.

Stop me if you've seen this before: a black and white pixelated square in lieu of a physical menu at a restaurant.

Batteries are devices that store and release energy by moving charged particles called ions between two materials called electrodes. The electrodes are separated by a liquid or gel called an electrolyte, which contains ions ...

In the early 2000s, computer hobbyists could walk into any of nearly 700 Barnes and Noble bookstores and find aisle after aisle filled with manuals on programming, coding, design, the internet and virtually any other topic ...

Humans often take their fine motor abilities for granted. Recreating the mechanical precision of the human body is no easy task—one that graduate students in CMU's Mechanical Engineering Department hope to simplify through ...

Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) where computer models become experts in various tasks by consuming large amounts of data. This is instead of a human explicitly programming this level of expertise.

A promising, more durable fuel cell design could help transform heavy-duty trucking and other clean fuel cell applications. Consisting of nanowires that are less susceptible to corrosion than other designs, the innovative ...

Government legislation to flag and moderate dangerous content on social media can be effective in reducing harm, even on fast-paced platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) new research shows.

A new study finds that "connected" vehicles, which share data with each other wirelessly, significantly improve travel time through intersections—but automated vehicles can actually slow down travel time through intersections ...
