Titan propels GE beyond the limits of gas turbine testing

The material is an amorphous steel alloy, a promising subclass of steel alloys made of arrangements of atoms that deviate from steel's classical crystal-like structure

A metal-foam compound developed by Professor Rob Shepherd's engineering group displays shape memory and the ability to self-heal through reheating

Many research efforts have been directed at evaluating the short-term performance of these materials

The Phoenix is lightweight, has two motors at the hips, and electrically controlled tension settings

Technique could be developed for a wide range of applications

New robotic lawn mowing technology aims to deliver freshly cut yards with little set-up.

A Purdue engineering alumnus and longtime university supporter hopes to inspire others with his gift to the School of Mechanical Engineering and the nation's largest university propulsion laboratory.

Technique might enable advances in display screens, solar cells, or other devices.

There is no disputing graphene is strong. But new research by Rice University and the Georgia Institute of Technology should prompt manufacturers to look a little deeper as they consider the miracle material for applications.
