Contact is Key to Bioelectronics

To improve the communication between patients and bioelectronic devices, the interface between the two should follow the curve of the body. Researchers have developed a curvature-matching design strategy that can enhance wearability during skin motion.

Diagnosing Bridge Health

A combo of wireless sensors and computer models reveals bridge integrity issues unseen by conventional inspections.

Fabricating Mechanical Metamaterials

Engineers are finding a growing number of applications for mechanical metamaterials, which feature unique mechanical properties that are determined by their structure.

A Better Shape to Catch the Wind

The horizontal-axis wind turbine has become an efficient and economical means to produce electricity. Some of the largest machines can produce as much as 15 MW when running at full capacity. But such turbines can be too complicated for small-scale operations or for capturing wind power in urban settings.
