Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, Nanjing University of China, and the National Institute for Materials Science of Japan have developed a ...

On the outside, as an engine exhibits vibration, drivers might find its revs satisfying. But inside, large metal pieces are moving frantically as each cylinder essentially undergoes a series of small ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another planet – they generally have the highest number of needs and the lowest ...

In the era of downsizing, automakers are gradually moving away from high-cylinder engines. As a result, they are increasingly in favor of smaller, often turbocharged or hybridized powertrains. A few ...

There are numerous automotive engine configurations, from the 4-cylinder variety all the way up to 16-cylinder engines, which are extremely cool but have only been used in a few production cars. While ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Abstract: In this study, a novel supernumerary wearable soft manipulator with soft actuator modules is proposed. The soft and lightweight manipulator can assist a wearer in directions from the ...

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe across the United States, imperiling solar generation equipment and therefore the reliability of power. Meanwhile, there’s an industry-wide ...

Solar technology major Nextracker announced the company would expand into the solar power frame market with the acquisition of Origami Solar. Origami is a pioneer in roll-formed steel frame technology ...

Abstract: This paper introduces Orimura, a novel soft pneumatic actuator inspired by a modified Yoshimura Origami cylinder, designed explicitly for substantial axial elongation. To identify an optimal ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

Remains Lighting, a Brooklyn-based artisanal lighting maker, and Los Angeles-based design studio Commune have introduced a wide range of designs for their 10th anniversary collection which includes ...
