Three years ago, we first heard about GelSight – an experimental new system for imaging microscopic objects. At the time, its suggested applications were in fields such as aerospace, forensics, ...

Glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) and renewable natural materials, such as wood and cork, are being used ever more widely in industrial lightweight construction. Damage invisible to the naked ...

The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not ...

Sensors and robotics are two exponential technologies that will disrupt a multitude of billion-dollar industries. This post (part 3 of 4) is a quick look at how three industries — transportation, ...

Plastics have replaced the materials used previously in many application areas. Above all, fibre-composite materials are very well suited to producing components with precisely defined properties.
