Substrate materials play an essential role in information processing. Using advanced imaging, a research team led by Penn State found that substrate material (also known as wafers) responds to changes in electricity, like the semiconductor…

We all watched in horror when the residential apartment building collapsed in Florida two years ago. This case involved problems with how the concrete was cast, rendering it permeable to water and the corrosion of much of its steel…

The world of electrical engineering is full of acronyms and confusing terminology. But at its core, it's all about the flow of electrons. In direct current (DC), electrons flow in one direction only, whereas, in alternating current (AC),…

Engineers face complex design challenges daily. According to Antti Oulasvirta, professor of electrical engineering at Aalto University and the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence, designers rely on intuition, experience, and trial…

3M research scientists teach Ansys Learning Hub courses. These classes help engineers develop innovative designs using tapes and adhesives, eliminating material waste. Ansys and 3M advanced simulation training programs enhance product…

Engineers can now find & download free symbols, footprints and 3D models from SnapEDA to accelerate their designs.

Here’s your feel-good engineering story of the week. Felipe Espinosa Tecuapetla, a former soldier and shopkeeper from Puebla, Mexico, just completed his degree in process engineering and industrial management. Oh, and he’s 84-years young.…

According to Columbia Engineering researchers that are using AI to teach robots appropriate reactive human facial expressions, it may mean that the robot will earn your trust. In a study titled “Smile Like You Mean It: Driving Animatronic…

For the past few years, engineers have modified the properties of some 2D materials that are one or a few atoms thick, by stacking two layers together and rotating one relative to the other, creating moiré patterns. This changes how…

Diamond, at 10 on the Mohs scale, is the hardest material in nature. Now, the results of joint research led by the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) shows potential for the use of strained diamonds in advanced functional devices in…
