Many bridges in Switzerland were built before the 1980s – and are therefore approaching the end of their service life. Empa researchers are now ...

Abstract: This letter presents a comprehensive analysis of an innovative wearable hand exoskeleton actuated by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires for rehabilitation. The study covers the design, ...

Memory chips are a key component of artificial intelligence data centers. The boom in AI data center construction has caused a shortage of semiconductors, which are also crucial for electronics like ...

Micron said on Wednesday that it plans to stop selling memory to consumers to focus on providing enough memory for high-powered AI chips. "Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial ...

A team of researchers from the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are turning to shape metal alloys (SMAs) to mitigate the damage that commonly occurs with ...

Bill McColl has 25+ years of experience as a senior producer and writer for TV, radio, and digital media leading teams of anchors, reporters, and editors in creating news broadcasts, covering some of ...

After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved. Imagine you’re holding two equal-size dice. Is it possible to bore a tunnel through one die that’s ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the input coupling problem in a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuated parallel platform characterized by fully unknown nonlinear dynamics. In such a platform, the ...

After journalist Neil King Jr.’s walk through York County, he wrote about a “memory boom” sounding within its 900-plus square miles. That thunder should be heard beyond its borders, he wrote in his ...

A collaborative effort by leading Japanese institutions has led to the development of copper-based alloy (Cu-Al-Mn) with a unique “shape memory effect” at a low temperature of -200°C (−328 °F). This ...
