Topological photonics promises robust light transport immune to disorder, but existing linear systems are essentially static ...

Inspired by the natural Bouligand structure, researchers have been developing advanced materials for applications in impact-resistant bioplastics, ceramic armor, and biomimetic alloy composites. Most ...

Two recent Ford patent filings have surfaced detailing reconfigurable seating arrangements for child car seats. The two patent applications, both published by the United States Patent and Trademark ...

Quadcopters may be versatile drones, but those four spread-out arms do keep them from performing certain tasks. An experimental new drone addresses that shortcoming, with arms that passively fold down ...

Coherent light sources are one of the most crucial foundations in both scientific disciplines and advanced applications. As a prominent platform, ultrahigh-Q whispering-gallery mode (WGM) ...

As a PI of the NSF Center for Robots and Sensors for the Human Well-Being (RoSe-HUB), Prof. Voyles directs RoSe-HUB co-sponsored projects based on some of this work. This site also reflects work as a ...

Stacked against other societal problems, a slow wireless connection may seem insignificant. Except it’s a little more complicated. A lot is at stake. “This is really about addressing humanity’s ...

The new reconfigurable sort-in-memory system developed by Tao and his colleagues as part of this recent study is made up of one-transistor-one-resistor (1T1R) memristor arrays and peripheral circuits.

A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...
