Tiny batteries: 3-D printing could lead to miniaturized medical implants, compact electronics, tiny robots
|
Three-dimensional printing can now be used to print lithium-ion microbatteries the size of a grain of sand. The printed microbatteries could supply electricity to tiny devices in fields from medicine to communications, including many that have lingered on lab benches for lack of a battery small enough to fit the device, yet provide enough stored energy to power them.

Working backward: Computer-aided design of zeolite templates
|
Taking a page from computer-aided drug designers, researchers have developed a computational method that chemists can use to tailor the properties of zeolites, one of the world's most-used industrial minerals. The method allows chemists to work backward by first considering the type of zeolite they wish to make and then creating the organic template needed to produce it.

To improve today?s concrete, do as the Romans did
|
|
In a quest to make concrete more durable and sustainable, an international team of geologists and engineers has found inspiration in the ancient Romans, whose massive concrete structures have withstood the elements for more than 2,000 years. Using the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), a research team from the University [...]

Making bridges stronger aim of research
|
|
A new way of designing bridge columns could ensure they stand firm during an earthquake. University of Canterbury civil engineering researchers are testing a new way of building bridge columns which could increase construction speed and quality, reduce traffic disruption and increase construction safety.
