With a few exceptions, robotic grippers aren't known for having a soft touch – so they often can't be trusted with delicate objects. That may be about to change, however, thanks to a shock-absorbing ...

Aerospace engineering and materials science researchers at Texas A&M University and the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory have ...

Imagine you want to iterate on a shock-absorbing structure design in plastic. You might design something in CAD, print it, then test it on a rig. You’ll then note down your measurements, and repeat ...

Mechanical engineers from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have found a new way to build body armor with a lightweight elastomer material that relies on a complex liquid crystal structure. The ...

There are a lot of components in your car you might not think about, but which are of great importance. Maintaining them or going through with the repairs if something is wrong is a great way to take ...

Treatments for osteoarthritis-related knee pain range from store-bought medication all the way up to total knee joint replacement. The recently trialled Misha Knee System is intended to help fill the ...

While cars and trucks certainly have made strides in design and engineering, the shock absorber is one part that really hasn’t changed too much over the years. Many production cars still rely on them, ...
