Stoke Space has successfully tested its full-flow staged combustion engine, a high-efficiency propulsion system designed for its fully reusable Nova rocket. The test at the Moses Lake facility confirms the…
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new class of zirconia-based ceramics that exhibit super-elastic properties. Unlike traditional brittle ceramics, this material can undergo significant deformation and return to its…
Researchers at HRL Laboratories have developed a method to 3D print high-strength ceramics using preceramic polymers. This technique allows for complex geometries that can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,700 degrees Celsius,…
Northwestern University researchers have created an AI that can design functional robots from scratch in seconds using a process called instant evolution. The algorithm evolved a walking robot with an…
Scientists at the Delft University of Technology have developed a new amorphous version of silicon carbide that exhibits extraordinary tensile strength. This material, which lacks a structured crystalline lattice, can…
Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have observed metal autonomously healing microscopic cracks for the first time. This discovery confirms a decade-old theory and could revolutionize engineering by extending the lifespan…
