Lightweighting materials play a crucial role in offering the potential for improved fuel efficiency, enhanced performance, and reduced emissions in the automotive industry. It is anticipated that the lighter and more efficient automotive materials and components will revolutionize the industry in the coming years.
A new test developed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign can predict the performance of a new type of cementitious construction material in five minutes — a significant improvement over the current industry standard method, which takes seven or more days to complete.
In this episode, we explore how porous plastic sheets are being used to cool buildings by radiating heat into space and how this could reduce global energy consumption by 10% and CO2 emission by 7%.
What is the most flexible 3D printing material? Here we discuss the options, from consumer TPU and TPE filaments to industrial-grade elastomers used in SLA and SLS.
An international team of researchers co-led by Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Penn State Evan Pugh University Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, developed porous plastic sheets that can lower building temperatures through radiative cooling.
Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures – or “chiral” materials – producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
Scientists at ITMO University have developed multiple-use sensor substrates coated with gold nanoparticles for use in gauging the precise ratio of chlorogenic acid in natural and manufactured raw material.
The new material, known as PAM (for polycatenated architected materials) could have uses in areas ranging from helmets and other protective gear to biomedical devices and robotics.
Combining insights from two ancient art forms, Princeton engineers used a single sheet of material to create 3D structures with adjustable flexibility that could guide sound and light to perform complex tasks.
