Daniel Szafir's work may pave the way for fleets of automated assistants that will one day help people carry out a range of tasks—from fighting wildfires to building craft projects in the home.
Researchers have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts.
²ÊÃñ±¦µä engineers have successfully scaled up an innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures.
A new 3D printing technique allows for localized control of an object's firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.
A square peg in a round hole? No problem. New material developed by ²ÊÃñ±¦µä engineers can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, and back again.
Physicists have developed an insulating gel that they say could coat the windows of habitats in space, allowing the settlers inside to trap and store energy from the sun.
Researchers at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä are exploring how wearable technologies can help people to experience nature as they hunt for fungi.
