Accounting for uncertainty to help engineers design complex systems

October 2, 2025 by Geordie Torr

Researchers at MIT have developed a new framework that helps engineers design complex systems in a way that explicitly accounts for uncertainty. The framework allows them to model the performance trade-offs of a device with many interconnected parts, each of which could behave in unpredictable ways. Designing a complex electronic device such as a delivery drone involves … [Read more...] about Accounting for uncertainty to help engineers design complex systems

Engineers develop radical new parachute design based on kirigami

October 2, 2025 by Geordie Torr

A research team from the mechanical engineering department at Polytechnique Montréal has designed a new parachute concept inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art of paper folding and cutting. Possible applications range from new ways for humanitarian missions to deliver food, water and medicine to space exploration. Frédérick Gosselin (pictured above, at left) , a professor … [Read more...] about Engineers develop radical new parachute design based on kirigami

NASA selects Proteus Space for novel rapid spacecraft conceptual design study

September 26, 2025 by Geordie Torr

Proteus Space, a leading innovator in rapid satellite design, digital modelling, assembly, integration and test, flight and operations solutions, has been selected by NASA for a ground-breaking rapid spacecraft conceptual design study. The 45-day effort will encompass systems engineering, bus and subsystem analysis, mechanical and structural design, orbital operations and … [Read more...] about NASA selects Proteus Space for novel rapid spacecraft conceptual design study

First multi-layer, reconfigurable batteries that can bend, adapt and tune their own voltage

September 25, 2025 by Geordie Torr

For the first time, scientists have fabricated multi-layer, reconfigurable batteries that can bend, adapt and tune their own voltage ­– offering a potential power source for future wearable devices, sensors and soft robotics. A research team led by Professor Lin Gui at the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, fabricated the multi-layer flexible … [Read more...] about First multi-layer, reconfigurable batteries that can bend, adapt and tune their own voltage

3D-printed fuel cells may power future aerospace technologies

September 25, 2025 by Geordie Torr

A team of researchers at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) may have cracked one of the toughest nuts in sustainable energy: how to make fuel cells light and powerful enough for aerospace applications. In an interdisciplinary collaboration between DTU Energy and DTU Construct, the researchers have developed a radical redesign of the so-called solid oxide cells (or SOCs) … [Read more...] about 3D-printed fuel cells may power future aerospace technologies
