UCLA bioengineers and colleagues have created a new imaging system that advances dynamic imaging microscopy with artificial intelligence. The new system can reveal the details of biological processes in tiny tissue samples at a resolution of two thousandths of a millimeter and in slow motion at 200 frames per second.
Materials engineer Nzambi Matee heads a recent start-up called Gjenge Makers, which creates low-cost lightweight building materials from recycled plastic and sand.
“Icon, an Austin, Texas-based developer of construction technologies, received funding to research and develop a space-based construction system that could support future exploration of the moon.
Hands-Free 3D-Printed Door Opener to Help Against the Spread of Coronavirus. Video via Materialise/YouTube. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, many architects, designers, and students are turning to 3D-printing to rapidly produce much needed equipment, like protective gear for healthcare workers and respirator valves for sick patients. In their own effort to help slow the […]
Utilizing a unique VR set-up, researchers uncover a certain amount of trust to encourage, but not harm, pedestrians. When at a crosswalk, humans can easily read a driver’s slightest nod.
Two Princeton researchers, architect Stefana Parascho and engineer Sigrid Adriaenssens, dreamed of using robots to simplify construction, even when building complex forms. “We want to use robots to build beautiful architecture more sustainably,” said Adriaenssens, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and the director of the Form Finding Lab.
Perth, Australia-based robotics company FBR – formerly known as Fastbrick Robotics – has built its first two-storey house using its Hadrian X block-laying robot, which has been in development since 2015.
University of Michigan (U-M) researchers have developed a model for a practical technique that robots can use to visually search for or target items in complex environments in a more humanlike manner.
