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.
Two forms of the same boron nitride molecules couldn’t look and act more different – but combining them could lead to applications that have the best of both worlds.
Is it a STEM education or a STEAM education? Integrating arts into science programming and vice versa can pique kids’ curiosity − a play touring Michigan aims to do just that.
The bottoms of boats and docks can accumulate lots of dirt, but semiaquatic animals like otters avoid having ‘fouled’ fur. Their secret could one day help keep underwater infrastructure clean.
Understanding the dynamics of each theme from the research will help universities to develop strategies for student support.
Though Hamas has the advantage of fighting on its territory, Israel has developed one of the most effective urban fighting militaries in the world.
The best science is not always the best engineering when it comes to building codes. It’s also a problem across the US, as an engineer who works on disaster resilience explains.
A team of scientists has developed a method for creating a new class of plastic materials that are potentially more recyclable than single-use plastics.
Art and science combine in this engineering course to let students turn their brainwaves into creative works.
