UCLA breakthrough dramatically extends fuel cell lifespan
Researchers at UCLA have made a breakthrough that could dramatically extend the lifespan of hydrogen fuel cells, making them a more viable clean energy source that can help bring sustainable, long-haul trucking closer to reality. For trucks and heavy-duty vehicles that must travel long distances without frequent, time-consuming charging stops, batteries often fall short. … [Read more...] about UCLA breakthrough dramatically extends fuel cell lifespan
Students tackle real-world space mission design at ESA Academy
In early April, 116 university students gathered across Europe to participate in the European Space Agency Academy’s Concurrent Engineering Challenge 2025. Connecting three major European institutions, Politecnico di Milano (Italy), Cranfield University (UK) and the University of Aveiro (Portugal), alongside ESA’s own educational centre in Belgium, the event pushed students to … [Read more...] about Students tackle real-world space mission design at ESA Academy
Engineers reinvent ceramics with origami-inspired 3D printing
In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure without breaking. Potential applications for the new technology range from medical prosthetics to impact-resistant components in aerospace and robotics, where lightweight but tough … [Read more...] about Engineers reinvent ceramics with origami-inspired 3D printing
