Spacecraft exteriors that automatically heal from radiation damage would change the game − one material shows promise.
Hubble’s technical issues continue. But through some clever engineering, the telescope can continue operations with just 1 gyroscope.
Underwater construction is a complex and difficult task, but engineers have developed several ways to build underwater … mostly by not building underwater at all.
How and why preterm birth happens is still unclear, in part because research on pregnancy tends to focus on developmental biology.
Researchers can create ‘single-cell radios’ using bacterial proteins to transmit the invisible activities within cells.
To model the inside of a supercapacitor, my team had to rework a common physics law that most high school students learn.
Ethics is often neglected in engineering education, two researchers write, despite mounting questions about how to responsibly design artificial intelligence programs.
E-textbooks have potential to enhance inclusivity and engagement in engineering education.
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge is already affecting global supply chains.
We’ll need to learn the lessons from this disaster.
Bridges are getting safer – but their designers need to keep up with the ever-growing size of cargo ships.
What mathematicians call ‘disordered collections’ can help engineers explore real-world worst-case scenarios. The simple card game Set illustrates how to predict internet and electrical grid failures.
Your skin heals from cuts and scrapes on its own − what if concrete could do that too?
The American aerospace company Boeing has been synonymous with safe air travel for decades, but recent weeks have seen it plagued by a series of issues.
It’s unclear exactly what happened to violently shake up LATAM flight 800, but the moral for passengers is clear: wear your seatbelt.
Electric vehicles are catching on across the US, but they’re also catching on fire in colder regions like the Northeast and Midwest.
‘Energetic’ materials are ones that readily ignite or detonate. The shapes of those materials have a big effect on how they burn or blow up.
Spaceplanes seemed out of favour when the shuttle was retired in 2011; they now seem to be making a comeback.
When you’re running late in the winter, you don’t want to have to spend time scraping frost off your windshield. Try some expert-recommended techniques instead.
