All the world’s discarded phones, bricked laptops, and other trashed electronics are collectively a treasure trove of rare earth elements (REEs). But separating out and recovering these increasingly ...

This study presents a numerical approach to estimate the elastic properties of filler-modified asphalt binders using 2D and 3D micro-mechanical modeling and homogenization principles. A three-phase ...

The Peter Principle suggests leaders rise to their level of incompetence. But what if the real problem isn't that they've reached their capability ceiling, but that they haven't rehearsed enough for ...

The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

Abstract: Flexure hinge-based compliant mechanisms find extensive applications in micro/nano actuation, where their transmission characteristics are significantly affected by stiffness. Traditional ...

Kwanzaa, which kicks off today, is traditionally celebrated with candles, dinner parties, and growing one’s awareness of the collective. The week-long celebration honors African heritage, culture, and ...
