A CAR THAT RUNS ON FRESH AIR - ALMOST!
Karl's car finished 38th in a field of 109 entrants - an impressive feat by any standards. 'I built the car over a year as an A level technology project,' says Karl. 'The project was sponsored by Marine Projects at Lee Mill in Plymouth and the team consisted of myself and a friend, Sam Starmore, who drove the car for me.' view more (1999-02-01)
New stretchable electrodes created to study stresses on cardiac cells
Engineers at Purdue and Stanford universities have created stretchable electrodes to study how cardiac muscle cells, neurons and other cells react to mechanical stresses from heart attacks, traumatic brain injuries and other diseases. view more (2009-01-23)
'Suction climbing' and Vertical Cycling at TU Delft
Invitation to the final of the design contest at Mechanical Engineering 'Suction climbing' and Vertical Cycling at TU Delft Students that climb along walls and ceilings like geckos, or that ride a bike up a cable. This can be seen at TU Delft on 7 June 2002, during the annual design contest at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. "At this... view more... (2002-06-04)
New mechanical heart implanted at the MUHC
Surgeons at the MUHC have successfully implanted a new kind of mechanical heart in two patients, the first time this new technology has been used in Canada. view more (2005-11-01)
Cheaper and simpler keyhole surgery
Endoscopic surgery brings many advantages for patients but is very difficult for the surgeon. view more (2006-03-22)
A new wrinkle in thin film science
A remarkably simple experiment devised by scientists yields important information about the mechanical properties of thin films--nanoscopically thin layers of material that are deposited onto a metal, ceramic or semiconductor base. view more (2007-08-08)
Robotic whiskers can sense three-dimensional environment
Many mammals use their whiskers to explore their environment and to construct a three-dimensional image of their world. Rodents, for example, use their whiskers to determine the size, shape and texture of objects, and seals use their whiskers to track the fluid wakes of their prey. view more (2006-10-09)
SARTOR CREATOR RECIEVES INAUGURAL INTERNATIONAL AWARD
Dr Robert Hawley, Chairman of the Engineering Council said: "Professor Levy is a most eminent professional engineer who has achieved a great deal both in industry and as an educationalist. As the architect of the Engineering Council's key policy document Standards and Routes to Registration (SARTOR), he has been instrumental in setting the... view more... (1999-11-19)
Major grant backs science behind UK metals industries
A world-leading University of Sheffield research institute whose scientific input is boosting the UK metals industries' global competitiveness has itself received a boost worth almost £4m. IMMPETUS, the Institute for Microstructural and Mechanical Process Engineering, launches the next phase of its work next week with the help of a five-year... view more... (2002-10-17)
New President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
Professor Hans-Jörg Bullinger is well initiated in Europe's leading institution for applied research. He began his career with the organization 30 years ago, working alongside Professor Hans-Jürgen Warnecke, who at that time was director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart. He has now... view more... (2002-11-27)
University of Southampton Technology Partnership targets
The University of Southampton is one of the partners in a unique initiative which brings together two of the country's major aerospace companies with three leading engineering research groups. view more (1998-09-18)
MIT: Mending broken hearts with tissue engineering
Broken hearts could one day be mended using a novel scaffold developed by MIT researchers and colleagues. view more (2008-11-03)
On the cutting edge: Carbon nanotube cutlery
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) have designed a carbon nanotube knife that, in theory, would work like a tight-wire cheese slicer. view more (2006-11-27)
And the "Vanadium Award" goes to...
The Institute of Materials has awarded Carlos Garcia, Beatriz L'³pez and Jose Maria Rodr'guez-Ibabe from the CEIT Research Organisation (Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Técnicas de Gipuzkoa) with The Vanadium Award for the article "Static Recrystallization Kinetics in Warm Worked Vanadium Microalloyed" they published in the... view more...

University of Florida professor designs plasma-propelled flying saucer
Flying saucers may soon be more fact than mere science fiction. view more (2008-06-12)
High-Intensity Ultrasound May Launch an Attack on Cancer, Wherever it Lurks
An intense form of ultrasound that shakes a tumor until its cells start to leak can trigger an "alarm" that enlists immune defenses against the cancerous invasion, according to a study led by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. view more (2007-08-08)
Nanowire generates power by harvesting energy from the environment
As the sizes of sensor networks and mobile devices shrink toward the microscale, and even nanoscale, there is a growing need for suitable power sources. Because even the tiniest battery is too big to be used in nanoscale devices, scientists are exploring nanosize systems that can salvage energy from the environment. view more (2007-09-28)
Researchers say hybrid pick and place robots could be a third cheaper
Robot researchers have long looked at the science of Kinematics and particularly how it applies to parallel robotics as providing novel solutions to robotic problems. But now researchers at the University of Warwick and China's Tianjin University have used kinematic theory to produce a hybrid "rapid pick and place" robot that draws... view more... (2003-12-16)
FaME38: Helping engineers studying critical materials
Airplane wings or railway rails are examples of mechanical components constantly submitted to stress. They consist of materials (metal alloys) with properties that may change under stress. To understand and improve such materials, it is essential to observe them on a microscopic scale. The ESRF and the ILL make today a step forward into looking... view more... (2002-11-26)
By Adding Graphene, Researchers Create Superior Polymer
Researchers at Northwestern University and Princeton University have created a new kind of polymer that, because of its extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties, could be used in everything from airplanes to solar cells. view more (2008-05-20)
