Electricity-free circuit helps free up space for robots to ‘think,’ say scientists

Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity for the first time, which could free up more space in the robotic ‘brain’ for them to ‘think.’...

Engineers smash rocks to see what occurs when top layer of an asteroid-like object is hit with extreme external force

Johns Hopkins engineers have uncovered new details about how granular materials such as sand and rock behave under extreme impacts—findings that could someday help protect the Earth from dangerous asteroids...

New biomaterial regrows damaged cartilage in joints

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a rubbery goo...
