To identify the information technologies required for a computer-aided system to support materials selection, the committee articulated a future vision of a full-function Computer-Aided Materials ...

Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

Phil Goldstein is a former web editor of the CDW family of tech magazines and a veteran technology journalist. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and their animals: a dog named Brenna, and ...

Computer-aided molecular and product design is an interdisciplinary discipline that combines molecular property prediction, algorithmic search and process engineering to accelerate the development of ...

Almost every object we use is developed with computer-aided design (CAD). Ironically, while CAD programs are good for creating designs, using them is actually very difficult and time-consuming if ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...

New drug discovery is a complicated, expensive and time-consuming process. Traditional drug development pipeline needs 12 years and $2.7 billion USD on average. Reducing research costs and speeding up ...

As the foundation of any architectural design, sketches and drawings have long been known for their ability to allow the architect to interact with his/her design efficiently and express concepts ...

RoboGrammar is a new system that automates and optimizes robot design. The system creates arthropod-inspired robots for traversing a variety of terrains. It could spawn more inventive robot forms with ...

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...
