Printable magnets are the new buzz word around engineering circles when the topic of magnets is brought up. A group called Correlated Magnetics  are conducting research on how magnets will continue to form part of our world in engineering. The end result of this research is an invention they call 'polymagnets'. ...Read More

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's computer science engineers have made an unprecedented leap into the future of fiber-optic speeds. The university said that their engineers successfully reached 57 gigabits per second error free on a network of fiber optic technology. According to BGR, it is a new record in...Read More

It was just the other day when we saw a video of a mechanical engineer pushing a robot down with a stick and that same robot getting up and continuing its job. That video came out of a robotics company called Boston Dynamics that is owned by the company that owns Google, Alphabet. Then...Read More

Biomedical engineering scientists at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have observed the effects of microneedle technology in the assistance of immunotherapy for melanomas on human bodies. Dermatologists' ears should perk up at the new findings because it directly affects their practices. The...Read More

2015 was a big year for renewable energy and energy storage, according to a new report. The report issued annually has shown that "renewable energy investments" went up by 5 percent in 2015.
