Watch: Self-Healing Fungus Could Fix America’s Crumbling Infrastructure
A new self-healing fungi concrete, co-developed by researchers at Binghamton University of the State University of New York may be the key to fixing America’s crumbling infrastructure. The self-healing fungi concrete could help fix the cracks in aging concrete permanently.
Newly Developed Method Allows Researchers to Screen Millions of Human Antibodies
Researchers have developed a new method for screening a person’s set of antibodies for rapid therapeutic discovery.
Measuring Mechanical Properties of 2D Monolayer Materials Achieved
Researchers have succeeded in characterizing the mechanical properties of free-standing single-atom-thick membranes of graphene.
Materials for Aerospace and Sports Inspired by the Mantis Shrimp’s Club
This finding will help the team develop ultra-strong materials for aerospace and sports industries.
The Evolution of Your Carbon Monoxide Detector
The vast improvement in sensor development in the 20th century now makes carbon monoxide detectors relatively inexpensive and very reliable.
Top 10 Tallest (Completed) Buildings in the World
Have you ever walked through a city, astonished by the tall buildings, and wondered just what the tallest buildings in the world are? Read this article to find out!
A New Kind of Paper that Can be Reused Multiple Times
A new type of paper — developed by researchers from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing Tech University and Northwestern Polytechnical University (all in China) — that can be erased and printed on many times could have potential consequences for the environment.
10 Memes that Sum up Life as an Engineering Student
Life as an engineering student can be hard. A lot of students will be returning back to school in the next week or so if they haven't already. Hopefully, these funny memes will help the transition from break mode to school mode!
The Evolution and Future of Classroom Tech
A look at the past, current and future trends in educational technology.
Watch: Engineers Grow Functioning Human Muscle in a Lab from Just Human Skin Cells
Biomedical engineers have grown the first functioning human skeletal muscle from induced pluripotent stem cells.
New Spinning Method Produces Super-Tough Nanofibers
A new process, gel electrospinning, produces fibers that are a nanometer – a billionth of a meter – in diameter. Products made from these fibers, such as armor and nanocomposites, are stronger, tougher and less expensive to produce than current top-of-the-line aramid fibers and gel-spun polyethylenes.
10 Funny Civil Engineering Fails to Brighten Up Your Day
Engineers need to be precise, accurate and perfect on almost every job they work on. But sometimes they don’t get it quite right. Below are 10 of the funniest engineering fails to brighten up your Monday morning.
