Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures ...

Researchers have created tiny building blocks that exhibit unique mechanical properties, such as the ability to produce a twisting motion when squeezed. These subunits could potentially be assembled ...

Prototyping large structures with integrated electronics, like a chair that can monitor someone's sitting posture, is ...

In my two previous columns, I discussed the lower and intermediate levels of the building block approach for crashworthiness testing and analysis of composite structures. I focused on the commercial ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms have created tiny building blocks that exhibit a variety of unique mechanical properties, such as the ability to produce a twisting ...
