[ad_1] “Bone is a building,” says Purdue University professor Pablo Zavattieri. “It has these columns that carry most of the load and beams connecting the columns. We can learn from these materials to create more robust 3D-printed materials for buildings and other structures.” The researchers discovered that the “beams” in bones provide more stiffness and […]

Starship’s delivery robots now serve Purdue University
[ad_1] The bot maker is in the early stages of an expansion that will have thousands of machines serving campuses within the next two years. Students at George Mason University and Northern Arizona University already have access to the robotic couriers, while the University of Pittsburgh should have access later in September. There’s a fairly […]
Researchers say ‘spidey senses’ could help self-driving vehicles avoid hazards
[ad_1] As the researchers explain, one reason nature is able to process data so quickly is that things like spiders, bats and birds don’t have to process all data — just the information necessary to survival. For example, when prey lands on a spider’s web, hairs on the spider’s legs vibrate at a specific frequency […]
