Along with the development of technology, various materials with different characteristics of materials are coming out. However, "reconfigurable materials" have been devised which can significantly ...

Stacked against other societal problems, a slow wireless connection may seem insignificant. Except it’s a little more complicated. A lot is at stake. “This is really about addressing humanity’s ...

Envision small robotic modules, lifting the lid of a storage box, spilling out, rearranging themselves to be the box's legs and transporting it to where you might be seated. That's exactly what Swiss ...

As a PI of the NSF Center for Robots and Sensors for the Human Well-Being (RoSe-HUB), Prof. Voyles directs RoSe-HUB co-sponsored projects based on some of this work. This site also reflects work as a ...

Space on the instrument panel is valuable real estate. And it's under siege. Interior designers are faced with having to add features - from warning icons to navigation systems - but they aren't given ...
