Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

In practice, engineers apply large safety margins to account for surges and aging. Common materials include Kapton (polyimide ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

Getting PCBs made is often the key step in taking a dodgy lab experiment and turning it into a functional piece of equipment.
