Until now, designing complex metamaterials with specific mechanical properties required large and costly experimental and simulation datasets. The method enables ...

Fastening and joining components are foundational elements in machine design, directly influencing the structural integrity, operational reliability and manufacturability of engineered systems.

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it possible to synthesize chemicals in a more ...

An overview of fatigue failure and how it affects mechanical systems. How FEA software enables engineers to predict fatigue failure points on structural designs, before the manufacturing process. From ...

Engineers designed modular, spring-like devices to maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid robots. Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices ...
