An aerospace engineer explains why NASA, Space Force and other agencies are using or testing aerobraking for more fuel-efficient spacecraft.
Labor costs – especially for unskilled roles – are climbing fast.
It’s extremely difficult to see how forces in a pile of sand are distributed between individual grains – a new experimental approach fixes that.
The problem is that costs – especially the costs to faculty – often go ignored.
If an engineer makes an improper assumption while designing something, sometimes the consequences are fatal. An engineering professor explains how to reduce risk.
Bridges are not just engineering projects, they are lifelines.
Students explore nuclear facilities in virtual reality and learn about the ethical dimensions of nuclear technology in a University of Michigan course.
When a spacecraft is too far from the Sun to use solar panels, it needs a different reliable source of power.
Elon Musk’s ruthless drive for efficiency has served him exceptionally well tech startups, but can the same approach work in government where the stakes are much higher?
Waiting for your plane to get deiced may be annoying, but it’s an essential safety step in chilly conditions.
Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic materials work.
Control systems keep your house warm and your car’s speed constant, but they could also help address societal problems.
Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome engineering challenges to scale up fusion energy.
Women in these fields are almost at parity with men at the most selective schools, but the gender gap doubled at many of the least selective universities.
Countless engineering solutions are hiding in plain sight. We just have to look more closely at the natural world.
Many of her male colleagues believed Pearl Young had an attitude problem based on her efforts to advocate for herself and her team.
Building an inclusive STEM workforce requires a long-term commitment from individuals, industry and the government.
Universities have made little progress diversifying STEM fields in recent years.
Both gasoline and diesel fuel are refined from crude oil, but they are good for different things and can’t be used interchangeably.
