In a significant leap toward making healthcare more accessible and affordable, a team of engineers at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has developed new electrochemical sensors that are both low-cost and disposable. These innovative sensors have the potential to transform how we detect diseases, monitor health conditions, and deliver diagnostics — especially in low-resource settings … Read more
The aerospace industry is one of the most challenging engineering fields in the world. From commercial jets soaring across continents to spacecraft enduring the vacuum of space, aerospace structures are designed to handle extreme forces, temperatures, and dynamic environments. Behind every successful flight lies a deep understanding of the mechanics of aerospace structures — a … Read more
In the world of material science and engineering, we rarely deal with completely uniform, “perfect” materials. Real-world materials — such as composites, rocks, foams, polymers, and biological tissues — are typically heterogeneous, meaning they are made up of different phases, inclusions, voids, or grains. To truly understand how these materials behave under stress, temperature changes, … Read more
