Alberto Corigliano introduces the ERC Advanced Grant project IMMENSE, which aims to overcome the challenge of developing ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative method to design complicated all-α proteins, characterized by their non-uniformly arranged α-helices as seen in hemoglobin. Employing their novel ...

Modern transmission line projects face several challenges with different priorities than projects in the past. There is now more emphasis on reducing environmental impacts, producing aesthetically ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

Novel insight into the “Sareh twist” suggests that this mechanism underlying origami tessellations could become a key element in the design of origami-inspired structures for science and engineering ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have created mechanical structures that strangely shrink – or more precisely, snap inward – instead of stretching outward when pulled. It sounds impossible, but it's ...

IMDEA Materials combines additive manufacturing, algorithms, and architectural design to create superelastic nitinol ...

The term "pre-fabricated" may evoke images of standardized and repetitive constructions, like the ones built after World War II when fast and affordable housing was a priority.. Today, however, the ...
