Adaptive structures and actuation systems represent a transformative approach in modern engineering, where traditional passive elements are combined with actively controlled components to respond ...

Inspired by learning experiences both in and out of the classroom — around campus and across the globe — all Princeton undergraduates tackle a monumental academic challenge by completing a senior ...

Where [Isaac Newton] had his apple (maybe), [Chao Chen] found inspiration in a pine cone for a design project that lead to a water-sensitive building material. He noticed the way some pine cones are ...

The California Building Standards Commission recently voted to make it easier to convert commercial properties to residential use. The commission adopted provisions of the International Existing ...

Origami and kirigami have inspired a multidisciplinary team of engineers and architects to apply these ancient paper-folding art techniques to geometric principles and thereby create living buildings ...

The NABUCCO project aims to develop radically new concepts of adaptive and buckling-driven composite structures for next generation aircraft. In aeronautics, buckling is generally avoided because it ...

An example of the polarized communities in an attributed signed network. Solid edges are positive, while dashed edges are negative. The polarized communities where the green box is located utilize ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin recently received support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to ...
