Electricity is the lifeblood of modern life, but even the most efficient power lines lose energy along the way. For decades, ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning technique that uses an image to estimate the stresses and strains acting on a material. The advance could accelerate engineers' design process by eliminating ...

Scientists have shed new light on the kinetics of hydrogen release, or dehydrogenation, from aluminum hydride, a material that is highly promising for energy storage. Their computer simulations also ...

Isaac Newton may have met his match. For centuries, engineers have relied on physical laws -- developed by Newton and others -- to understand the stresses and strains on the materials they work with.
