Leaky systems have limited how engineers design thermoacoustic devices that rely on the interplay between temperature oscillations and sound waves

While advances in additive manufacturing offer potential breakthroughs in prosthetic arms or jet engine parts, 3-D printing may also accelerate weapons proliferation

A team designed a hollow synthetic packet that is just tens to hundreds of nanometers across

Despite leaning precariously at a five-degree angle, the 58-meter tall Tower has managed to survive, undamaged, at least four strong earthquakes that have hit the region since 1280

Technique uses photons, fundamental components of light, to measure nanoscopic materials thinner than 100,000th the width of a human hair—with 30,000 fired per second and 500bn throughout

Engineers studied self-assembled block polymer membranes, which allow for both customizable and uniform pore sizes, as a platform for water treatment systems

Most autonomous vehicles require intricate hand-labeled maps, but MIT CSAIL's MapLite enables navigation with just GPS and sensors
