One of the engineers behind Bloodhound, the UK’s anticipated world land speed record attempt, explains how they created a car to reach 1000mph.
Imagine building a dam across the Strait of Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean in order to generate vast amounts of hydroelectricity and create fertile new lands.
If the continent is to grasp the science and technology revolution, then governments should take the lead in both policy formulation and implementation.
New research provides a compact but powerful way for Mars rovers to communicate directly with Earth via an array of smaller antenna elements, bypassing the need for an intermediary.
The way sea lions swim is unique among fish and marine mammals. Their technique provides a biomechanical model to design agile underwater vehicles… but first we have to figure out how they do it.
How a social media campaign is revealing more about the good, and bad, in the industry.
Reported “evidence” that the proposed fuel-free “EmDrive” works (and breaks the known laws of physics) is nothing of the sort.
Separation of disciplines in academia hurts our ability to innovate and solve big problems.
Shouldn’t we make aircraft engines quieter? It turns out they’re the quietest they’ve ever been
The robots in the DARPA Robotics Challenge can open doors and drive cars. But developing machines that can think for themselves is more tricky.
Issues of energy and climate will be solved by engineering, not climate science.
Until recently, tall wooden towers were an engineering impossibility. Following a breakthrough a few years ago, the sky is increasingly the limit.
How do you overhaul a university department so it offers the best teaching, support and development for a radically changed context?
Are we ready for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design how we move into a new era of capitalism?
A new university based in Hereford plans to attract a new generation of engineers – and more women.
Engineering has been a British success story. But its future is in doubt unless the country can educate, recruit and retain many more female engineers. The sector has survived, even thrived, by importing…
I’d like to say that it’s not every day you get asked to try to break a world record with a speed-obsessed truck mechanic from Grimsby, but for us at the Centre for Sports Engineering Research it’s starting…
We all know engineering is useful, functional, even ingenious. But the engineering photography competition we hold each year provides us a chance to wander outside its merely utilitarian aspects into dimensions…
Imagine launching a robotic spacecraft on a ten-year mission to land on a comet, 600 million kilometres from Earth, knowing that you will not be able to make any physical repairs to the craft during the…
