Engineers from UCLA are developing a new electromagnetic wave router that offers unlimited bandwidth. Mobile phones and computers use electromagnetic waves to send and receive information — they’re what enable our devices to upload...
A new system called Data Civilizer automatically finds connections among many different data tables and allows users to perform database-style queries across all of them. The results of the queries can then be saved...
A team of engineers from MIT has developed transparent, gel-based robots that may one day assist in surgical operations and evade underwater detection. Engineers at MIT have fabricated transparent, gel-based robots that move when...
Engineers from MIT’s Microsystems Technologies Laboratories have designed a new power converter that maintains its efficiency at currents ranging from 100 picoamps to 1 milliamp, a span that encompasses a millionfold increase in current...
Aerospace engineers believe they can reduce fuel consumption by embedding an aircraft’s engines into the boundary layer to ingesting the boundary layer air flow. Car, truck, train and aircraft manufacturers have made great strides...
This illustration shows the simulation results of tensile and compression tests on 3-D graphene. A team of engineers at MIT has successfully designed a new 3D material with five percent the density of steel...
Using specialized equipment, the MIT team did tests in which they used a pyramidal-tipped probe to indent the surface of a piece of the sulfide-based material. Surrounding the resulting indentation (seen at center), cracks...
That advance was a game-changer, delivering the first high-performance, nonflammable, nontoxic, noncorrosive, and low-cost chemicals that could enable large-scale, inexpensive electricity storage.The development builds on previous work in which the team developed a high-capacity...
