Stiffness

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for flying microbots.

Blood flow resistance training is a technique that you can use to lift less and grow more muscle. Here's what you need to know to use it for workouts.

Is ranch dressing a solid or a liquid? A physicist explains that the short answer is both … and neither.

The type of exercise and level of intensity you choose may make a difference in your slumber.

The lightest 100 km range carbon e-bike around

The possibilities are endless.

Knee problems can hinder mobility and erode your quality of life.

South Korean researchers have developed a "morphing" wheel that can navigate stairs and obstacles up to 1.3 times its radius, potentially revolutionizing mobility devices and robotics. The wheel, created by the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), features a chain-based outer hoop a...

Bicycle helmets are designed to protect against skull fractures and associated focal brain injuries, driven by helmet standards. Another type of head injury seen in injured cyclists is diffuse brain injuries, but little is known about the protection provided by bicycle helmets against these injuries. Here, we examine the performance of modern bicycle helmets in preventing diffuse injuries and skull fractures under…

Cell membranes from comb jellies reveal a new kind of adaptation to the deep sea: curvy lipids that conform to an ideal shape under pressure.

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ordered layers to intricate maze-like patterns that underlie properties like tensile strength or ductility.

Now bots can form sheet metal in complex geometries

Uses include surgical superglue that could be game-changer for fetal surgeries

Ferrari's first SUV is an incredible combination of sport and utility. But there's room for improvement.

An international team of scientists, including two researchers who now work in the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (CAST) at UMBC, has shown that twisted carbon nanotubes can store three times more energy per unit mass than advanced lithium-ion batteries. The finding may advance carbon nanotubes as a promising solution for storing energy in devices that need to be lightweight, compact, and safe, such as…

A brain-computer interface from the startup Inbrain could help Parkinson's patients

Targeting the tissue around tumors may reduce drug resistance for hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic cancer, according to Stanford researchers.

Another team built a lithium-ion battery with electrolyte layer that expands by 5,000%.
