New digital synthesis technique will increase the range of programmable metamaterials

A new study challenges the conventional approach to designing soft robotics and a class of materials called metamaterials by utilizing the power of computer algorithms. Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Technical University of Denmark can now build multimaterial structures without dependence on human intuition or trial-and-error to produce highly efficient actuators and energy Read more about New digital synthesis technique will increase the range of programmable metamaterials[…]

A green material with many properties

A DTU research team consisting of Malgorzata Gosia Pierchala, Firoz Babu Kadumundi, and Mehdi Mehrali from #TeamBioEngine headed by Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz, have developed a new material – CareGum – that among other things has potential for monitoring motor impairment associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s. The CareGum property portfolio is incredibly broad with feats Read more about A green material with many properties[…]

Big data sets from mobile phones provides a completely new understanding of our movement patterns

In recent years, big data sets from mobile phones have been used to provide increasingly accurate analyses of how we all move between home, work, and leisure, holiday and everything else. The strength of basing analyses on mobile phone data is that they provide accurate data on when, how, and how far each individual moves Read more about Big data sets from mobile phones provides a completely new understanding of our movement patterns[…]

Drone pilots may become superfluous in the future

New research from Aarhus University has allowed artificial intelligence to take over control of drones scanning and measuring terrain. A research project at Aarhus University (AU) in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) aims to make measuring and documenting gravel and limestone quarries much faster, cheaper and easier in the future. The project Read more about Drone pilots may become superfluous in the future[…]
