MIT’s School of Architecture’s Self-Assembly Labs has partnered with Google to create these transformable meeting spaces. The project uses a woven wood structure with fibreglass pods that depend from the ceiling which transforms from a large meeting space into a ...
Researchers have found a way to bond composite layers, producing a material that is substantially stronger and more resistant to damage than other advanced composites.
The discovery could open up wide-ranging possibilities for designing new, easy-to-manufacture composites for optical devices, electronic systems, and high-tech materials. Adapting an old trick used for centuries by both metal-smiths and pastry makers, a team of researchers at MIT has ...
New technique uses carbon nanotube film to directly heat and cure composite materials removing the need for expensive curing ovens.
MIT researchers have developed a lightweight structure whose tiny blocks can be snapped together much like the bricks of a child’s construction toy. The new material, the researchers say, could revolutionise the assembly of airplanes, spacecraft, and even larger structures, ...
