The brown anole lizard develops lungs with striking simplicity, offering new inspiration for engineering artificial organs. When it comes to studying lungs, humans take up all the air, but it turns out scientists have a lot to learn from lizards. A new study from Princeton University shows how the b...

Researchers invented a technique that combines bioprinting with cryopreservation to construct frozen, cell-laden structures that can be used in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug discovery. A new technique takes bioprinting — in which an ink of cells is printed, layer by layer, to f...

MIT and Yale researchers have developed a new framework for understanding how growing entities like bacteria adapt their shapes when confined, revealing significant implications for biofilm behavior and material deformation. Grow a tomato inside a square box, and you’ll end up with a square tomato. ...

In MIT 2.C161, George Barbastathis demonstrates how mechanical engineers can use their knowledge of physical systems to keep algorithms in check and develop more accurate predictions. A new MIT course merges machine learning with physics to help mechanical engineering students understand and solve t...

How NASA in Silicon Valley Will Use Webb to Study Distant Worlds NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is getting ready to give us the best view yet of worlds beyond our own solar system, commonly known as exoplanets. Scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Va...

A POSTECH research team led by Professor Gil-Ho Lee and Gil Young Cho (Department of Physics) has developed a platform that can control the properties of solid materials with light and measure them. Recognized for developing a platform to control and measure the properties of materials in various wa...

Researchers warn that geoengineering could worsen malaria spread in some regions while benefiting others, requiring careful consideration. Geoengineering the climate would have massive repercussions for the health of billions of people at risk of malaria who live in tropical countries, according to ...

A new technique allows rapid and cost-efficient production of hindered amines using a continuous flow reactor, eliminating toxic byproducts. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a faster, less expensive technique for producing hindered amines – a class of chemicals used as b...

Ritu Raman leads the Raman Lab, where she creates adaptive biological materials for applications in medicine and machines. It seems that Ritu Raman was born with an aptitude for engineering. You may say it is in her blood since her mother is a chemical engineer, her father is a mechanical engineer, ...

Russia’s new Kalina laser aims to blind satellite sensors, raising concerns about the future use of laser weapons in space and their potential to permanently damage satellites. According to a recent report in The Space Review, Russia is building a new ground-based laser facility for interfering with...

The subsurface ocean of Saturn’s moon is most likely rich in phosphorus, a key component for life. The hunt for extraterrestrial life has just become more intriguing as a group of researchers led by Dr. Christopher Glein of the Southwest Research Institute found new evidence of a key building ...
