Two hundred years ago, the Erie Canal was often derided as a ‘folly.’ Yet the waterway went on to transform the American frontier.
By trapping different molecules, metal-organic frameworks could make for efficient breath sensors that predict lung disease, cancer or diabetes.
The International Space Station has hosted astronauts and spacefarers continually for 25 years.
Researchers compared the environmental footprints of several techniques used to make magnetic nanoparticles.
On hot days, the Eiffel Tower grows by 12-15cm, and leans away from the sun.
Ants may be tiny – but by working together they build complex societies and solve many problems. They might even teach humans a thing or two?
Some mushrooms are sturdier than others, but it isn’t necessarily because of their chemistry – it’s how the filaments that make them up are arranged.
An engineering professor teaches students to harness AI’s flaws for creative expression.
When historians and engineers work together, they can bring a version of the past back to life.
A researcher offers families advice on playful paths to summer STEM learning for children.
Science, technology, engineering and maths are still not an equal playing field for all. Here’s what needs to change.
Inside every smartphone and laptop are tiny specks of valuable materials, many of which are still lost even when you take your old electronics to a recycling center.
Focusing on student learning preferences could boost the number of students from underrepresented groups earning science and engineering degrees.
An aerospace engineer explains why NASA, Space Force and other agencies are using or testing aerobraking for more fuel-efficient spacecraft.
Labor costs – especially for unskilled roles – are climbing fast.
It’s extremely difficult to see how forces in a pile of sand are distributed between individual grains – a new experimental approach fixes that.
The problem is that costs – especially the costs to faculty – often go ignored.
If an engineer makes an improper assumption while designing something, sometimes the consequences are fatal. An engineering professor explains how to reduce risk.
Bridges are not just engineering projects, they are lifelines.
