A new technology in the form of a bracelet that helps children better understand how others play and interact has been developed by University of Bristol researchers.
More than 100 experts in molecular simulation, coordinated by IRB Barcelona, have published an article in Nature Methods advocating for a paradigm shift in molecular dynamics data management. The article defends the implementation of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) to improve the reproducibility of calculations and facilitate their later use as a source of information on the flexibility of biomacromolecules. Led by Drs. Modesto Orozco and Adam Hospital, the article proposes the establishment of a shared infrastructure for storing and reusing data in the context of the AI revolution.
Since its launch in 2015, the journal Engineering has been committed to international academic exchanges and engineering science and technology (EST) innovation. In this editorial, the editors-in-chief reflect on the journal’s decade-long journey. They emphasize the crucial role of EST in human development, from its impact on daily life to its role in driving civilization forward. With a new round of scientific and technological revolution underway, Engineering aims to become a top scholarly journal and a premier platform for international EST academic exchange. The editors express gratitude to those who have supported the journal and look forward to continued collaboration in serving the global academic community and contributing to EST innovation.
A new study in Engineering examines future ultrafast charging stations for electric vehicles in China. It analyzes charging patterns, grid impacts, solutions like dynamic waiting and energy storage, and upgrade costs, using real-world data. The research offers useful insights for infrastructure planning and grid management.
In a recent development in construction materials research, a study published in Engineering by Peizhao Zhou and Peng Feng from Tsinghua University has introduced a new composite material. Named flexible ultra-high performance reinforced cementitious composite (FHPRC), it combines the benefits of different materials. The research includes material design, experiments, and model validation, aiming to provide insights for the construction industry.
For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to a study led by University of Michigan engineers.
