Robotics-based study provides insight into predator-prey interactions

Researchers have recently gained advanced understanding of a variety of processes through the information-theoretic concept of transfer entropy.

New approach to develop ultra-strong, lightweight materials

Researchers have leveraged the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing to design strong, ultra-lightweight 'architectured foam' structures that have the potential to make vehicle bodies much lighter and stronger and improve water production and oil and gas operations.

Rare chemical phenomenon could be harnessed to harvest solar energy

A team of international scientists has successfully unraveled the chemical reaction responsible for propelling microscopic crystals to leap distances up to hundreds of times their own size when they are exposed to ultraviolet light.

Researchers examine batteries from the inside

Researchers at Cambridge University, Stony Brook University, and New York University have developed methodology, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to look inside a battery without destroying it.
