Machine learning translates human language into materials Is our consciousness, thoughts, and words a state of matter or the result of our neurons creating a material reality? It’s a phenomenon of discovery that MIT scientists explored […]
New analysis could help identify optimal materials for the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor to global warming, not just in their ongoing operations but in the materials used […]
New research on ancient Roman concrete inspires durable and sustainable modern constructions Adapted from a press release by University of Utah . Find the original here. Concrete often begins to crack and crumble after a few […]
After nearly a decade, an interdisciplinary collaboration to model a 3D spider web leads to many surprising results The spiderweb is an everyday architecture — non-monumental and easily overlooked. Yet artists and scientists are working to […]
A new seed-coating process could facilitate agriculture on marginal arid lands by enabling the seeds to retain any available water. As the world continues to warm, many arid regions that already have marginal conditions for agriculture […]
