Super-insulating and transparent aerogels can be applied to windows, whether on Earth or in space habitats.

A prototype flexible heat shield for spacecraft could reduce the cost of space travel and aid future space missions to Mars.

Diamond is much more than a pretty stone. Diamond has unique properties, such as the highest thermal conductivity of any material, high electron mobility, an extremely wide band gap, broad optical transparency from UV to infrared and outstanding strength and hardness.

A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket, carrying the spacecraft, lifted off at 3:31 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota have developed a 3D printed guide device that could change the lives of patients with spinal cord injuries.

Photovoltaic technology developed at the University of Exeter, UK, offers the potential to harvest three times the energy compared with conventional solar cell systems.

NYU professors have teamed up and found that 3D printing can create cheap, functional and integrated microfluidic probes (MFP).

Guinesss World Records has confirmed that a hydrogen fuel cell car engineered at Duke University is the most fuel-efficient vehicle ever operated.

Acknowledging that snow in this type of event behaves as both a solid and a fluid, researchers devised the first realistic and scientifically rigorous simulation of a snow slab avalanche.

By getting biological fluids to surf on acoustic waves in oil, engineers have developed a technology for a small-scale, programmable biomedical chip that can be reused for applications from on-site diagnostics to laboratory-based research.

This week's edition of the Engineering360 news brief.

AdaSky, an Israeli startup founded in 2016, developed a sensing perception solution called Viper that is perfectly suitable for autonomous vehicles.

A new stimuli-responsive wound healing material has been engineered to release antibiotics and to enhance cellular growth and migration.

Plastic products remain in the environment between 150 to 500 years once released, continuously polluting seas and rivers across the world. A Chilean startup announced the creation of a non-plastic biodegradable bag that dissolves in water in just five minutes.

Bearings and seals are designed for years of service, but improper use or maintenance can lead to premature and costly failures. Many different causes can lead to bearing or seal failure, and most of them are preventable if these best practices are followed.

DARPA's Ground X-Vehicle Technologies (GXV-T) program is aimed at overcoming the trend for heavier, less mobile and more expensive combat equipment. The limitations of current equipment inhibit the military's ability for rapid deployment and hamper maneuverability, while also restricting mobile equipment to roads.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Social Development has teamed with developers to create the game line.
