Adaptive structures and actuation systems represent a transformative approach in modern engineering, where traditional passive elements are combined with actively controlled components to respond ...

It's a sad fact that even though our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate, new wooden structures are typically made of all-new wood. A special computer system could help change that, by ...

Explore the U.S. bicameral legislature, its structure with the House of Representatives and Senate, and the historical ...

What if the huge design space for data-driven software could be efficiently mapped and explored in order to have tailor-made, optimized solutions? Researchers from Harvard combine analytical models, ...

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

When competing for limited resources, structures in an environment can be the difference between species coexisting or one species eliminating another. Relationships between species are important, too ...

The Oort cloud is traditionally thought of as a vast shell of perhaps trillions of icy objects encasing our solar system, serving as the final boundary between us and the dark reaches of interstellar ...
