Scientists at EPFL and ETH Zurich have developed tiny elastic robots that can change shape depending on their surroundings.
A research team led by Chiara Daraio, Caltech professor of Mechanical Engineering, has developed new nanoscopic versions of acoustic wave components with abilities previous incarnations did not possess.
Taking inspiration from the Venus flytrap and how it makes sophisticated decisions about when to snap shut on potential prey despite the absence of a brain, engineers at Penn State have designed structures that carry âembodied logic.â
For two weeks three rovers and more than 40 engineers tested automated navigation systems at up to five different sites in the Sahara Desert for Europeâs largest rover field test.
A team of researchers at the University of Bristol have demonstrated for the first time acoustic levitation and manipulation of multiple objects simultaneously.
NASAâs Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft completed its 1.2 billion-mile (2 billion-kilometer) journey to arrive at the asteroid Bennu Monday.Â
Caltech neuroscientists combine augmented reality devices and computer vision algorithms to assist the blind in navigating unfamiliar environments.
NASAâs Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia is currently testing new ways to fly aircraft more efficiently and safely, which includes a new high-lift aerodynamic wing design.
The walking and hopping robot âSpaceBokâ is currently being tested in ESAâs Mars Yard by Swiss engineers.
Stanford researchers have developed an electronic glove that bestows robotic hands with some of the manual dexterity humans enjoy.
Modern technologies such as 3D printing can completely revolutionise how we think about engineering, such as this example which happened during the development of a new jet engine at General Electric.
MIT engineers have successfully built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts.Â
Inspired by the extraordinary characteristics of polar bear fur, lotus leaves and gecko feet, engineering researchers have developed a new way to make arrays of nanofibers that could bring us coatings that are sticky, repellent, insulating or light emitting, among other possibilities.
On Nov. 1, 2018, the USS John P. Murtha recovered the test version of the Orion capsule at sunset in the Pacific Ocean.Â
MIT researchers have devised an autonomous system for fleets of drones to collaboratively search under dense forest canopies. The drones use only onboard computation and wireless communication â no GPS required.
Caltech engineers led by Ali Hajimiri, Bren Professor of Electrical Engineering and Medical Engineering in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science, have developed a new optical gyroscope that is 500 times smaller than the current state-of-the-art device.
FlyCroTugs are micro air vehicles that the researchers have modified so the vehicles can anchor themselves to various surfaces using adhesives inspired by the feet of geckos and insects, previously developed in Cutkoskyâs lab.
