This study presents a newly engineered nonlinear stiffness-softening mechanism that enables micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers to operate with dramatically reduced bias force and ...

Electron spiral: phase of the beam near the tip of the needle Twisted beams of electrons have been used for the first time to determine the handedness, or “chirality”, of an ultrathin crystal. The new ...

Need a steel beam? You can 3D print PLA beams that are as strong as a steel beam of equivalent weight according to [RepRap]. The Python code for FreeCAD generates a repeating structure especially well ...

Sponges build their skeletons in a completely different way than other animals do, researchers have found. In fact, the building process looks a lot like the construction of human-made buildings, ...

The idea of strengthening a steel beam with carbon fiber is not new. Approaches have ranged from coating corroded steel i-beams with carbon fiber and epoxy to a patent by Boeing where carbon fiber ...

ClearSpan is excited to announce the addition of the HD I-Beam Building. The HD I-Beam structure cleverly blends two of ClearSpan’s renowned products, their I-Beam frame, and their exclusive ClearSpan ...

A new low-damage imaging technique developed at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) is opening the door to detailed analysis of fragile nanomaterials for the first time.

The single-storey library building consists of a lofty wedge-shaped public library area encompassed on three sides by cellular office accommodation. The long east wall of the library area is fully ...
