Engineers have long assumed that heating metals always softens them, but how metals behave at extreme deformation rates remained unclear. This counterintuitive finding reframes purity as a design ...
A new strategy developed by Professor Nathan Gianneschi grabs cancer-driving proteins and directs them to the cell’s disposal ...
A new ‘pop-up’ device developed by Professor John Rogers lets scientists map and manipulate activity in human neural ...
On Jan. 16, the Center for Human-Computer Interaction + Design convened an interdisciplinary group of bold thinkers to ...
Ethylene—the chemical used to create much of the world’s plastics—has a carbon problem that Professor Ted Sargent is working ...
Many direct air capture systems rely on heat and oxygen-sensitive materials, which can make them energy-intensive, less efficient, and less durable in real-world air conditions. Researchers devised an ...
