A modern aeroplane’s fuselage is made from multiple sheets of different composite materials, like so many layers in a phyllo-dough...
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.
New technique uses carbon nanotube film to directly heat and cure composite materials removing the need for expensive curing ovens.
MIT’s School of Architecture’s Self-Assembly Labs has partnered with Google to create these transformable meeting spaces. The project uses a...
The discovery could open up wide-ranging possibilities for designing new, easy-to-manufacture composites for optical devices, electronic systems, and high-tech materials....
MIT researchers have developed a lightweight structure whose tiny blocks can be snapped together much like the bricks of a...
