  • One of the World's Largest Timber Towers Proposed for London

    The use of timber as a structural material in tall buildings is an area of emerging interest for its variety of potential benefits, the most obvious being that it is a renewable resource.

  • Portable Transformers Could Facilitate Renewable Installations

    Transportable energy storage and power conversion systems would make it cost effective to rapidly install solar, wind and geothermal energy systems in even remote locations.

  • Model Accurately Gauges Spring Thaw and its Effect on Roads

    A major problem with seasonal vehicle-weight restrictions is that conditions under the roadway are hard to predict.

  • "Laser Tweezers" Used to Assemble Micro Components

    To assemble the microscopic components, the team utilized optical tweezers, the arms of which are made up of strongly focused light.

  • Toyota Expands Microsoft Partnership on Connected Cars

    Toyota Connected will serve as the company's global data science hub.

  • Ski Design Inspired by Turtle Scales

    When the skis bend in a turn, the plates come together and the ski stiffens, allowing the skier to execute precise turns. As the skier comes out of the turn, the gap reopens, making the ski flexible.

  • NREL Doubles Estimate of U.S. Rooftop Photovoltaic Potential

    The analysis reveals a technical potential of 1,118 gigawatts of capacity and 1,432 terawatt-hours of annual energy generation, equivalent to 39% of the nation's electricity requirements.

  • Harnessing the Predictive Power of High-Performance Computing

    IBM and the University of Michigan have designed a computing resource to enable high-performance computing clusters to communicate at interactive speeds with data-intensive operations.

  • Send in the Crowds: Engineering’s New Money Source

    In this two-part series, Engineering360 looks at the crowd, first as a source for capital and then as a source for ideas and inspiration.

  • Graphene Powers Solar Cell Come Sun or Rain

    An all-weather solar cell is triggered by sunlight and raindrops.

  • Coating Technique Developed by Sweet Research Team

    Chocolate inspires coatings research.

  • Surgical Success with a 3D-Printed Skull

    A 3D-printed replica of a patient’s skull guided tumor removal surgery.

  • Color-Changing Fabric Could Shield Soldiers from View

    The fabric is created by spray coating a solution of PG3/toluene onto the surface of a conductive fabric as the working electrode.

  • Manufacturing Process Dispenses Medical Devices

    Suspension-based 3D printing yields medical devices and microreactors.

  • Graphene Could Take Microchips to Terahertz Speed

    Graphene microchip could transmit data 10 times faster.

  • Nanostructures Could Lead to Self-Cleaning Clothes

    The technology is based on coating textile with copper and silver-based nanostructures.

  • Ford to Break Ground on $1.6b Plant in Mexico

    Ford plans to construct a $1.6 billion small car assembly plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

  • Better Energy Storage with Bacteria?

    A proof-of-concept rechargeable battery is driven by bacterial processes.

  • Software Aims to Enhance Blister Pack Accuracy

    Omnicell has released software that it claims increases the accuracy of hand packing blister cards.

  • Recyclable Plastic Stronger Than ABS Developed

    The new thermoplastic has better performance characteristics than commodity plastics like ABS.
