Adapt, the San Francisco-based AI startup, today announced $10 million in seed funding co-led by Activant and Headline ...

A bicycling incident in 1973 led to a team of NASA engineers radically changing the design of modern semi trucks using cutting-edge aerodynamics.

Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...

Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations ...

Your cloud isn’t at risk because it’s fast; it’s at risk because thousands of invisible machine identities outlive your ...

AI agents can handle physics-based modeling complexity while engineers focus on design judgment and tradeoffs.

Operating on other planets pushed NASA to rethink even the most basic technology. To handle extreme terrain, temperature swings, and vacuum conditions, engineers redesigned the wheel from the ground ...

Optimization problems often involve situations in which the user's goal is to minimize and/or maximize not a single objective function, but several, usually conflicting, functions simultaneously. Such ...

The chip industry traditionally has relied on margins to help them mitigate timing problems, but an increasing array of factors are now influencing timing. Can static timing analysis evolve to address ...

One of the many announcements at the 2020 DC FanDome (remember those?) was news of a Static Shock movie coming from producer Michael B. Jordan, based on the electric-powered African American teen hero ...

When you rub a balloon on your hair to make it float and cling, you might not think of it as one of the deepest – and strangest – mysteries of science. When you reach out to open a door and your ...
